Right. This is a toy forum, we're the outliers.
Kisses.

Not seeing why he would have outrage is it the tats? Otherwise its an upscaled version with two colors instead of one lol.

I’m satisfied with the slightly modernized RnR design. I think it does a good job of capturing the classic feel of the character, but with some updates to fit the times. RnR may be in my sweet spot where the design updates feel new/original while still giving a nod/paying homage to the characters origins. I’m not saying it’s perfect, just that it closer to what I imagined the line to be; Torpedo and Snow Job are also great examples.

But, yeah...tats seem to be a big driver of the dislike. I get that it's different/a fairly significant change, but it's extremely within character/persona and, given the massive explosion of tattoo culture over the past 15-20 years, fits within modernization of the brand. Also seems to be a good deal of frustration that this isn't V2 based, which is hysterical to me. |

I am with the supporters for R&R. Always one of my favorite characters, loved the OG, love the bush hat, duel gatlin version, love them all. And I like both the true to original and updated takes on these figures. I guess I am just happy to be getting new Joe toys, and in a scale that serves them so well. I do think a little more update to Shipwreck would have been cool, but I appreciate this one's OG style. I have only passed on a few figures so far, mostly the sub-line versions of figures because I passed on those same figures/vehicles as a kid. I also skipped on Kamakura because I don't really have any connection to him. Saying that, I really think I am going to get the Shadow Tracker even though I wasn't all that crazy about the figure when it came out, but these new designs look great. Chuckles is another one I am on the fence about. I had the original Chuckles toy, and he was cool, but not amazing, and I HATED him in the GI JOE movie. Everyone has their opinions, and I know it's a way of life in these forums, but I am not sure about how some attack others when they offer an opinion. Anyhow, Yo Joe! Now bring on Mutt & Junkyard!

My feelings about Rock 'n Roll are those of ambivalence. I wish Lenny would have went with the vintage aesthetic of the character, but I'm glad he didn't because it's letting me know (as a consumer,) that JOE design team isn't slavishly beholden to Ron Rudat's original designs.

I rather like the RnR... he's not my favourite in the wave, but he's still a cool-looking character. The design of the figures in this wave is fantastic.

Also noticed the "photo real" isn't used on Bazooka the new one and it looks so much better than the wave above eyes. Hope the newer ones ditch it or align it better it looks off. |

That's it for me. It's just a weird way to take the character. I have no affinity for Rock & Roll to begin with and this level of revisionism made sure he would be a pass for me. This entire wave was a bit too revisionist for my tastes. I can't pass on Shipwreck because of my love of the cartoon (and to support him being in his original outfit), but I was disappointed in how some others were changed (I'm going to get him I think, but the mangled face on Scrap Iron isn't really my thing either, so it's not just one aspect of "updates" that bothers me).
