I'm hoping we get a Retro Falcon. Use the head from the Night Force two-pack on his regular body with brighter green and better definition to his camo.

maybe they will use the Night Force head on the Retro Falcon with all the positive feed back it has gotten.

Im sure we will see nemesis enforcer again we've only seen the in-package pics so far , also hoping for a golobulous reveal i realize they are trying to space/spread stuff out but if they are planning on making more cobra la i really would have liked pythona as one of the first characters being made we had to wait for the club to make one and lots of us have been waiting since 87 for a good pythona the club offering was IMO .. MEH but its still the only version of her out there, i want them to go all in on cobra la , and the iron grenadiers as well , both are favorite factions of mine and i would like them to bring more characters out we have oam coco and metal head thats it .. i want multiple displays id like a full shelf of nothing but cobra la , another full of ig?s named and nameless . Same goes for sgt savage i wnat a shelf with 9-12 from them extreme the same def/eco , we have a nice team with tiger force , and getting there with NF & MM . I know it takes time but im impatient only because i know they can do and what i would like them to do ..

Sorry went on a tangent . It happens early on the weekends im used to waking up early for work and i dont work weekends so im up anyways . Never too early for a swim ..its already 85 here and supposed to be 93 UGH ?

i would like to see some of the JOE DIC stuff but in more muted/military colors so they don't look so out of place from the rest of the line. and i would love to see some of the movie vehicals.

Do you have a link or visual to the kitbashed Snipers you're referring to?

I love a good kitbash.

My current plan for the Stinger driver is to use the head from the all black bazooka trooper from the 788 set. He has the same more modern balaclava mask in all black which should match closer to the vintage figure. I was also going to try the all black cloth balaclava trooper head from the first Python Patrol trooper. That would be even more like the vintage figure.

I think they'd want to have the Night Force Falcon sell through completely before doing a Retro Falcon just yet.

I'#m somewhat hopeful that the reason they shoved Retro Stalker out the door in a hurry is they wanted to get it done with so they could move onto his much more interesting later costumes.

I think Retro Flint is/was considered a rumour at one point and it isn't a bad shout in that there is places to go with the decos other than the existing one. Personally though I really like the existing one so for me the reason I'd want a newish version is so they can use an alternative template for a Night Force Flint.. ideally with a Danger at the Docks Grey camo coloured Vamp II.

What I expect isn't always what I want.

What I want would be various other Cobra and IG's.

But what I "expect" is maybe Hit & Run, Perhaps a standard deco Ripcord.
Maybe a Retro Carded Crazylegs at some point.

I think there is a strong argument for a Retro Carded Raptor (with soft goods cloak) too.

Do you think anyone at Hasbro has heard how much collectors disliked Falcon's head? From such a soft-spoken and easy-going group? I'd like for Retro Falcon to have the radio backpack and Retro Flint to have gear like their v1 figures too.

Regarding the new NF Falcon, they even said you can put his head on the old Falcon's body so I'm sure they know how hideous it was.

When we get a retro Flint I hope it's a new sculpt like Duke and Scarlett and not a lame repaint like Lady Jaye.
