My wallet is quite pleased that none of the PulseCon 2022 reveal attract me at all. Booooorrrrring lineup. Even Shipwreck is dull as dishwater.

Damn. I thought Torpedo was fire. I can't believe you didn't like any of them.

But PulseCon over all was pretty good. The name reveals weren't bad (the female Cobra Trooper fulfilled a third of my wish list right at the beginning of the panel). Cover Girl looked great. That retro Cobra Commander with a real Cobra symbol is going to be the best 6" action figure ever made. And the brand, overall, is just in a great place right now. I do worry about this tattoo issue going forward, but as long as Jinx skates by without this kind of change, I guess it doesn't matter to me. I'm not wedded to buying any other unique characters.

I still think Rock N' Roll looks like he was at the Capitol building on January 6, 2021 - but all the same, even if I don't like the change personally I appreciate that designers are pushing boundaries and not just recasting old styles.
The changes to Rock N' Roll *fit* what you'd expect to see in a 2022 update of that character, and it's close enough to the original that a Retro cardback with no tattoo and the original color scheme makes too much sense to not release. The only misses in the announcements are Falcon's absolutely terrible face sculpt and, IMO, Shipwreck's duckface. Again, it fits with the character (he's kind of a slut), but I'd also like to see a headsculpt with the kind of smirk that Tomax has.

Dude, I get what you?re saying, but I doubt that was Hasbro?s design motivation/inspiration on RnR. Lol! That said, you?re not wrong; it does invoke that look however intentional or not. Even 10-plus years ago the Sideshow figure had the forearm tat and like you said, it?s kind of a expected update for 2022. I wonder how long before we get a more retro repaint?

90% of the military has tattoos nowadays, it's not all that out of the ordinary, especially for a guy code-named "Rock 'n' Roll" and a crusty sailor.
