Fo shizzle. That whole listing is a total "boilerplate" job (and quite a lazy one at that). For instance, every Classified entry includes this same identical (unintentionally ironic) phrasing:

"COLLECTIBLE PACKAGING WITH CUSTOM ART: Joining some of the best artists from the world of comics, graphic design in our artist partnership program, [insert artist here] adds [her/his] unique style to the [insert character here] package"

However, in my previous interactions with Hasbro, I have found them to be very responsive to customer/citizen concerns. Although, admittedly, on a much more pressing matter (than mere false advertising). Plus I was actually awake at the time.

Speaking of zombies, "a blue-skinned Zartan variant" sounds rather unappealing to me. (Unless, of course, included in a 3-pack with a greenish-grey Zarana & Zandar.) Though I suppose a cadaver-coloured sorta "ghastly pallor" might look quite fierce, actually.

I wish they released the repaint Duke the first time around. That looks so much better.

Does anyone know where I can order Duke, Roadblock or Scarlett and definitely get the refreshed color versions? I have the originals but want the refreshed versions as well. I just don't want to place an order and end up getting more copies of the originals.

My Dorkside order is set to be delivered tomorrow. I ordered Scarlett and Roadblock with the hope that they are the repaints (they had 'Classic' in the descritions on the site), so I will let y'all know what I actually get once it arrives.

Cool, thanks. I see the image of Scarlett has been updated there but she isn't in stock. This reminds me that I have an open Red Ninja pre-order at Dorkside from last Summer. It looks like that might be shipping soon. I'm starting to lose track of all the sites where I have open pre-orders. I guess that will make for some nice surprises in the mail at some point.

So, after I had already ordered the Scarlett repaint from dorksidetoys, I emailed them asking about availability of the Duke repaint, once I saw it on here. This was their response:
"As of right now, we are only able to offer the older version of Duke. This may change in the future, but we don't have an estimated time yet. Feel free to check back in the future. Thank you!"
Now if you go on their site, they have Duke as a "Classic" figure for preorder, but they still show the original colors from last year. I'd say just keep checking, & once they update the listing with the new colors, you'll know that's what you'll get if you order. Scarlett's listing on their has been updated with her new paint.

Just got my Dorkside order, and my concerns were half-true. I got the Scarlett repaint, but the original Roadblock.

Edit: Looking at the current listings on Dorkside, I technically got what I paid for. There are "classic' versions of Scarlett, Roadblock, Duke, and even Destro, but only Scarlett's listing has updated photos.

Sorry about the upside down thumbnails. Can't figure out how to flip them. It took 3 tries and uploading via phone and computer to get the right-side up when you click on them!

Here you go...

Looks awesome!
