It seems like they're going the same route they went with the Star Wars Vintage Collection line. They've been re-releaseing older figures with new heads. Although they have been getting a few completely new characters. Maybe with a little luck, this Joe line will do well and they'll make some new figures. |

Yup, that struck me as well. They already had an alternate head packed-in with that figure in a previous release but they went for the visor instead on this retro card. And they picked probably the worst time to brag about making the figures as close to the card art as possible while showing Stormshadow...who already has an "ultimate" release that looks a lot kike the card art...when they instead repacked a different version. You're only underscoring your lack of faithful design.
Just seems clumsy. The figures seem more like quick kit bashes of whatever parts they could find on short notice, with the vintage artwork slapped on the packaging.

It was obvious that the "Retro" line (did they even call it that in the livestream?) is an afterthought. The contrast between those and this gorgeously packaged Cobra Commander variant couldn't be more stark.

Yeah you missed out man. He had this poor transformer that turns into a base weirdly contorted into what he called a “tower”. It was amazing.

Hasbro is certainly telling us how awesome it is they are giving us long "ropes". Because that's gonna tip the scale of "Buy VS Not Buy" |

I also like how when he’s showing off the new hiss driver he randomly pulls up the hiss in the back and is like “man the hiss tank is pretty big”
