Got my VENOM and WARLORD yesterday, should get my FALCON CAP which was 30% off at Target so only $24 instead of $34. Now we need some Joe's to start shipping out. And come on PULSECON!

I think the retro figures have probably been the best subset of all. And it's much easier to throw a flat card away than it is a box.

I think the Viper is probably going to be another really good retro figure too since it looks like they are tooling new stuff up for him and hopefully also retool his legs, give him his trademark pulse rifle, give him Recondo's arms and the Viper patch on his shoulder. I could see RNR and Mindbender being really popular too, especially since a lot of people weren't fans of RNR's tan and tattoos. Mindbender should be popular too since a lot of people missed out on the exclusive one a couple years ago.

Would really like to see a retro Breaker too with a new backpack and helmet and radio set and a removable bubble gum bubble or alternate head with one.

Recondo is a weird one considering we got Tiger Force first in the standard line.

OG Recondo is the repaint LOL

I'm hoping for a retro Iron Grenadier, though I already have my more classic-style modified custom all planned out and ready to work on as soon as he arrives. I think Rip Cord and Crazylegs are pretty likely to be retro figures (like Recondo was) for their original classic decos. Those will both be fantastic retros as well!

Agree ,i forgot about beachhead & the cg those are both great ..
And crazylegs & ripcord will be instant multiple buys on a retro card ow puld take a few of each just to make my own squad of halo or just drop troopers..


I want a retro arah ig
Range viper
Stinger driver & ferret/scout

Ill pretty much buy whatever retro they put out as long as it doesn't look exactly the same as its predecessor or have the same load out looking @ you eels/SS/destro/baroness/lady jaye

Yeah I was thinking the same about the Viper. Judging from the leaked parts, it's looking like a lot of the budget for that 3 figure wave is being dedicated to the Viper which I'm totally cool with. New legs and arms with the proper rolled up sleeves would be great. A vac metal faceplate would be the chef's kiss. If this version turns out great, I may sell off my other vipers even though I'm sure any value they do have would take a significant hit.

I would love a retro Breaker with more gear. I'm hoping for a retro Flint as well.

I'll very likely pass on RnR and Mindbender. I don't need to double dip on those.

Oh yeah, if they do for Flint what they did for Duke and Scarlett, he should be a home run.

They corrected a big wrong with the retro Lady Jaye by including the camera bag. To me, that makes the retro figure trump the classified version. There are only so many accessories you can give Destro and Baroness before losing the retro look. At least the retro Baroness was the first real version in the line. The Cobra Island one is just off.

I did. I nabbed him the first time around, but glad Hasbro's giving people a second shot at him. I passed on the retro-carded Electro, and even though I've always felt he's by far one of the dumbest looking villains, I regret it. Hopefully we see him again.
