As long as the Retro Card Classifieds remain store exclusives, they will ALWAYS be rehashes of existing figures. Walmart/Target, etc. aren't going to spring for the tooling budget for a brand new figures...just cheaper repaints/redecoes.

You're right, Walmart's line is usually built from existing figures modified to look like the cartoons while Target's line is new figures intended to be released in classic form once they reuse the molds

Range-Vipers have a great look. Would be even better if their blue was green.
I'm indifferent towards Big Ben, but I do like expanding the Joe roster. I think Alpine would have maybe been a better pairing with Range-Viper. |

A lot of core characters are coming in 2023. It makes sense that they would bring in a few deep cuts to sprinkle through the line just to give it more legs, particularly as the ARAH designs seem to resonate, and global shipping (while far from good) may be improving. I want Eels and Snow Serpents as soon as possible, but HASBRO probably wants the line to run with their dawning realization of how popular it is.
I'm a little more worried about Jinx. I'd like to see her announced soon.

It?s not really a pairing but Outback is more the contemporary to Range Vipers. Alpine would be better suited with Rock Vipers.

Range Viper gives us some important tooling for a future Body Bags. That excites me.

Not a fan of Range Viper? Take another look. Take a deep, lingering, invigorating look!

But I rarely like any troop builders that were developed after the EEL. The Ice Viper and the Cobra Shock Trooper are the only ME/POC/50th figures I have other than the mainstays (troopers, BATs, Crimson Guards, and Vipers). And my vintage design interest really trails off after the figures featured in the pre-Serptentor Sunbow episodes.
