The figure and Fang were made in Vietnam, so that is one reason why it's new tooling.
It's just so odd, why they would make this figure so different than the usual ME line. All I can say is that I don't like it and I hope they get rid of the tool. Hey Mustache and Hasbro. Just release more Concept Vault figures, and us 4" fans will be really happy!!!

I've said this since it was first revealed, but seeing these images only reaffirms my feelings- that monstrosity HAS to have been in the works for some other line. The pegholes are sort of the smoking gun here, if the rest wasn't evidence enough of that.
And I hope I'm right, because that may make this a one off. If this is the new "ME", I'll stick to buying the old stuff on the secondary market, Hasbro.

Perhaps this figure is an experimental first look at a future wave of fully articulated M.A.S.K. action figures, and the F.A.N.G. copter is a glimpse at what the new vehicles for that line might look like.

If anyone is looking for a SE or SS, at cost, hit me up. I bought a second set to keep MoC but don't really want to keep a second set. Cards on both are a little warped from shipping but the figures are good within.

I don't mind the new construction.
It is the execution that seems to have failed. Like someone said before the proportions seem wrong.

The new construction is an improvement... But this particular figure is off. His proportions and colors are wack.
What is interesting is that he said it's the only Joe he has done, and it was by commission... so who knows what find of figures they will do next. And the decisions to redo the Fans and the pilot are just baffling |

Isn't it more cost-effective for Hasbro to just shrink the Classified figures? Aside from the bothersome colors on the earlier figures (which are being rectified), they are great looking figures.

I don't think there is anything ti worry about as far as these replacing the Modern Style builds. We have seen Hasbro skimp out on vehicle drivers in the past making them only 5 POA.

Does anyone else find the retro figures harder to find than the classified line? I've only seen the retros in store once (wave 1) and I've been able to easily get every classified figure.
