Personally, I won't be buying any retro repaints of figures I already own. I did that with the Walmart retros and they all felt inferior in some way to the original boxed releases. Gung Ho and Snake Eyes were actually new figures and those I don't regret.
From a manufacturing standpoint it makes sense for Hasbro to just do some minor color changes and throw them on a card for $25, getting more use from existing molds. From a collecting standpoint, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to buy the same figure again unless army building or having a bunch of huge MOC figs to display. Even then it wouldn't exactly match the ones you already have. Last edited by Trigger2K; Today at 11:39 AM.. |

I gotta say the more I watch her I am not really a fan of Emily anymore. No criticism of her job and roles with Hasbro but she just seems fake to me lately. She is good at the PR stuff but something seems off.

Before I pull something apart I maybe should not, can someone tell me if Snow Job upper body will fit on Quick Kicks lower body and vice versa? Waist down/waist up
I think Quick Kick in upper winter gear and bare feet will look awesome and vice versa, no shirt on but lower half winter gear Also, think it will be funny for the sash haters to see him carrying Snow Jobs load out with just the sash. Let us be honest, fudgee bar is not working in Texas. Quick Kick is made for the Arctic. If this switch works, I am going to order another Quick Kick too Thanks in advance. |

The amount of effort they put into, say, the Alley Viper or Techno Viper, compared to this is just weird to me. Like, the Snow Serpent should get more love from Hasbro than those two. Just my opinion, I suppose.

I mean, sure it looks more like the RAH one, just not quite enough for me. I'll still get one, but I still think it's disappointing. The accessories are the main problem, which I guess is easy enough to fix, but I feel like we shouldn't have to, especially for a "retro" release.

Just my opinion, I suppose. I could list all the figures I have and are on my list to get and it would be obvious the type of figures that interest me. For example, not a fan of the lime green accessories with retro Beachhead but the figure looks great and very ARAH-like. Conversely, I would love a retro Firefly with the green gun and walkie talkie.

[QUOTE=DPrime;5772089]Yeah I forgot about the deluxe price for Snow Serpent.
And yeah I agree, Snow Serpent was really lazy, especially for a Retro release. It's maybe the one figure I've gotten where it really feels just kind of cobbled together, and the accessories are just ugh. Just lots of reused parts and the headsculpt seems tiny and weird. Quote:
I agree again as well and he was cobbled together no sheath for the knife cmon hasbro i know why but it doesn't make it any better . The head is too small and the goggles kind if help but not really .. Personally I'd love to see a Tele Viper just to have one with the rolled-up sleeves. I'd be great to see a couple extra headsculpts from the cartoon with red LED writing on the visors! Yup. Maybe red cartoon visor too. Like what they did for the CGs. I was hoping for an hcwooo or oooowch rolling across his mask screen .he could be made a retro really easily and he would sell i traded a tanker here a tbubble for tele viper , even though the t vipers only piloted them a little it was mostly vipers and other cobras .

I'm burned out on ninjas and I'm getting that way with the noks too. They need to give em a rest for a wave. At the very least they shouldn't combine them in the same wave. It's kinda the reason I'm really only looking forward to doc, retro beachead and the ferret for the next wave. I'm still getting Torch but I might wait on gnawg and the night creepers.

If you do that , you?re better off switching the legs, and then changing the rubber diaper crotch over snowjobs. Quick kicks waist is a little smalller than snowjobs so just heat it up for about 30 sec and form to fit.
