OK, gonna run through Wave 1. Since that ongoing 6 Inch Thread is gigantic, feel free to sound off on Wave 1 thoughts and feedback you guys have yourself here, again, if you like. I'll be dropping a gallery a day till done, hopefully.

We've also updated the HissTank Database with a Classified section - you'll be able to find the basic shots there as well going forward:

The more I evaluate the ones I have in hand (Duke & SE), the more I realize specifically what I don't like about the ones I have no intent on purchasing. I thought at first it was the costume overhaul for Scarlett, but it's really just the head. The overhaul sculpt is way too soft and cartoon-y. The earrings are a very odd choice. The hair is an unnatural shade that departs from most previous popular incarnations. Far be it from me to pretend as an authority on Scarlett, but more so than every other Wave 1 figure, this just feels like an entirely different character.

Can you point out which Scarlett is the best so far? Because there has never been a good one until now in my opinion.

[Tony_Bacala]

The thing about this Scarlett - aside from the outfit/gear choice, that's per taste (and I don't mind it), it's just that it feels detached from the rest. Duke, SE, Destro have the same tone, sculpt style, level of OG connection. Scarlett kinda feels like Fortnite Scarlett, in deco and head sculpt. So it feels detached. I'm sure someone hardcore could argue it either way, but that's my unscientific gut feeling after handling.

Now we need a Quarrel recolour

[DESTRO]

I have waited so long to get these in hand knowing they were ready to be produced for years! Personally I like they are adding a little change to the line knowing perfectly well they are going to make every version fans want over time. So keep making them and I will buy them. The Destro is just perfect. One of my favorite action figures of all time.

If you look at the cover of G.I. JOE AMERICA'S ELITE #4 thats where they got this design for Scarlett. I wish the hair was a darker shade of red. She's way to pale in skin tone. I don't think she really needed the red chaps. Articulation wise shes great, she just doesn't quite fit in with the other four to me. I hope they do another version Scarlett is one of my favorite characters.

[Dolemite]

Personally, I ADORE this Scarlett. I love the face sculpt, the design, the more orange-y red hair, the freckles, etc. It's a near-perfect rendition and modernization of the character. I wouldn't change a thing, other then MAYBE toning down her colors just a wee little bit. But overall, fantastic.

And Tony, I don't agree that she stands alone from the other Joes in terms of design. She's a bit more colorful sure, but her original outfit contrasted with her teammates as well. Overall she fits in the same as she did back in the 80's. I mean, look at the design of her knee pads/shin guards...they have a lot of the same aesthetics as Duke and Roadblock and if her colors were toned down a tiny bit I think she'd fit 100%. We've seen fan repaints that confirm this.

They were? Hasbro's been sitting on these designs and just waiting to pull the trigger?

I feel 100% the same way.
