It's the same freaking gung ho. No way that photoshop will give you an accurate representation of the colors from a shitty video screenshot at 72dpi. There is a shadow hovering over the figure from the cube shelving that it sits in.
The lighting is way off on these as both emily and sam's face have a dark red hue on them.

Movie Scarlett and Akiko came from Pulse today. They were very tightly packed in the box and slightly squashed as a result. Not enough to be really mad, but as a MIB collector I'm disappointed that a business that knows they're largely dealing with collectors would do such a thing.
I have no such expectations of Target or Walmart, but Pulse? Yes. Edit: gotta say their CS acted fast and really impressed me in getting replacements. Hoping for the best with my Pulse order. |

Yeah Target will automatically refund the item if the box comes damaged. Great when you're not an in box collector

The lighting is way off on these as both emily and sam's face have a dark red hue on them. I sort of get it - we'd all like a better Gung-Ho, and it's really weird that they would re-release the same figure when the last run of him kind of sat around (actually I think he's still available some places). This is not the first time Hasbro has done something like that, however. My guess is that they needed another figure to fill out the case assortment and his tooling was available, so it was either Gung Ho or Roadblock again. |

Amazon has refunded me for damaged items without sending it back. They also weren't over $20. I think the highest one they refunded without a return was $10. I guess paying for return shipping wasn't worth it for them. |

No need to return this item. A refund will be credited back to your Visa **** typically within 5 days.
Toa Maximus you're awesome. Got me a free Beach Head. Still would have liked an unsmashed box. I told them in the comments that these are being shipped in boxes so tight it's hard to get them out, so any damage to the slipper will damage the item.

I know most of you don’t care about the movie figures, BUT…
Wave 6 (Scarlett and Akiko) are hitting retail. Saw one of each at my local Walmart tonight, so at least new stuff IS arriving mostly on time. Chances are, some of the recent “surge” of the first 3 SE movie figures may actually be leftovers from this assortment.

It would be kind of silly it they reissue GH only to change his vest to brown. But, man I pulled the pic into Photoshop and sampled the color then checked out the breaks and histogram. It's definitely a darker brown and not green. But, as you asked, is it the lighting? The figures look very well lit. Let the speculation commence anew!

Don't you just love how these rumors get started? There is already at least one youtube video going over the new Gung Ho "variant"
I sort of get it - we'd all like a better Gung-Ho, and it's really weird that they would re-release the same figure when the last run of him kind of sat around (actually I think he's still available some places). This is not the first time Hasbro has done something like that, however. My guess is that they needed another figure to fill out the case assortment and his tooling was available, so it was either Gung Ho or Roadblock again. If they want to re-issue Gung-Ho they need to redo a bunch of stuff on him. The hat, the tat, weapons, and gear all need to be fixed. I'm fine with him not having the teal colors and staying green but they got to fix the other things. Can't wait to get my Valaverse gear and see how he looks with that on. |
