Probably

could one of those figures be storm shadow?

Actually the Star Wars Retro figures are 9.99. Not sure if Walmart will be pricing these figures at the same price. I would like it if they were more in line with the POC figures. That line was golden same with the 25th line.

That's what I thought.

The higher price point gives me hope these may be something other than o-ring repros. I don't it greatly, but I can dream.

This is awesome news. Can’t wait to see how they look. I am already planing on getting the 6 inch line and will get theses also as long as they look to good.

Well, on Amazon the Star Wars Retro figures are going for $13.61 each so I'm assuming the $12.93 price applies to them when they were in retailers.

Edit; Just saw the other post about them being $9.99 when they were in stores, so now it has me wondering what exactly they'll be.

Hot garbage...most likely.

The Star Wars figures are five poa, whereas if these are o rings they will have o rings, bending knees, swivel arm battle grip, shoulder rivets, and all the other o ring articulation so they’ll cost more than the SW ones even if they are o rings (which they most likely are)

I honestly don’t mind because then I can finally get classic ARAH o ring Duke and SE without worrying about breaking them and paying upwards an arm and a leg and a foot and a tooth.

Marvel also has "retro" releases, but they're modern figures on retro cards.

If these are just O-ring recreations, I have less than zero interest. Happy for the folks that might actually want them, but won't be getting any myself. Same way I have zero interest in any of the other "retro" lines beyond Marvel Legends.

If they're modern-construction 4" figures on retro cards, then I'll probably pick up at least a few, depending on character selection/improvements/etc...
