I'm not sure I understand why people are upset that A Real American Hero isn't on the packages. These aren't ARAH figures. I mean, yeah, they are, in the sense that these are characters from ARAH: The Story, but they're not figures from ARAH: The Toyline.
I kinda feel that'd be like being upset that the Batman Returns logo isn't on a Dark Knight Rises toy.... |

I think I'm going to get this figures at Walmart in October, since there's been a lot of complain about how Walmart been shipping figures lately...

The lack of Real American Hero may be the biggest negative on these to me.

I agree with previous statements. I think this is about broader appeal, not something nefarious.

They're trying so hard to call the line retro... yet very little actually is.

Passed on the figures since I already have several SS, SE and Baroness but I was glad to get that HISS. I was at Subway at 11 trying to eat and find the link to pre-order I thought it would sell out right away.
I've been wanted a boxed HISS for ages, it's so beautiful. The 25th window boxes are just as beautiful, since you can see the vehicle itself, but nothing hits me like that 1984 vintage art... |

These are the things that bothered me about the show:
The dude seemed to be taking credit for builds that came out 9-11 years ago. They kept calling these 3 3/4" figures. These are 4" figures. They are saying 25th anniversary style. These are Modern Era figures. I have officially separated 25th from Modern Era as everything that uses post-25th parts is way superior than 25th. Why did it seem like I knew more about these figures than that dude did? We all know that's the wrong head for that card art. We all know there's a better option for SS. We all know that there is a better option for the Baronesses head. It just seems like this dude was real lazy with this wave. We all know there are budget constraints, but it would have been cheaper to use the Ult. SS build if they didn't have to change any paint. This SS offering was more expensive since they repainted the face and leg guard straps. They also changed the belt color. Per Mark Weber, it costs more to make these small changes, vs just re-releasing a previous figure with no changes. Did he really think we would be happy changing the belt color so it would look like the vintage art? Did they not see the sleeves? Why did he not talk up the superior builds of these POC/Ren/30th. Just a missed opportunity. All in all I'm glad we are getting ME figures again.

I like the cards. The less text cluttering it up the better. Its got red, white and blue stripes and a star. Anything more is overkill. I'm especially glad they didn't add "swivel arm battle grip" or "retro packaging" stickers. I'd gladly buy full size posters of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadows cards.

Ok, just watched the video. I don't have a FB account so waited to get home to watch on my wife's account.
Yeah that mustache guy was toasted out of his mind like Val Kilmer in the Island of Dr Moreau. Welcome to the Hasbro 4" Joe era without Derryl DePriest. It's obvious that these people don't know shit. I'm happy for what we got and hope we get more ARAH vehicles in vintage boxes but I think I'll pass on the vids going forward.
