Thanks for helping make sense of the missing Livestream. See you guys all at 8

Raptor looks like a Metal Gear Solid boss. That paratrooper looks AWESOME.

... Unless the stream is just the panel (which it clearly was not going to be, before), this is terrible, asking us to watch two places at once?

Ok that one looks straight up fun, like, he's not a collectable, he's going off the back deck. 😂

What has told us Retro is going to re-release every modernized figure as a Retro? There is nothing of the sort.

Raptor isn't really popular enough to get two figures, and unlike say Jinx, isn't a simple repaint away from "Retro".

I was never a big Raptor fan (despite having him as a kid), so I won't be getting him, anyway. I do think he looks okay, though.

The Raptor figure looks better in some pictures, and while part of me gets what they are going for, still giving him a sniper rifle kit and making him the stalkery sniper he was supposedly meant to be, one point, in design. I like the idea of a weirdo wilderness sniper in crazy gear who Cobra puts up with because /he is that good/.

But. Eh. We'll seel. Still going to get him.

Isn't he basically Shadow Tracker then?

Ehhh I dunno, swap out the mech-wings for a cloth wing and he really is kind of just a repaint away. I would agree with you he's probably not popular enough to warrant a second figure in retro form, but getting him there would be pretty easy.
