Wish I was in a place where I could watch this anytime soon. What's the abridged version?

From my understanding this was edited before posting so it may have been much longer when it happened. So much info regarding the line is provided. If you have the time later on I recommend watching it.

I have thought the same thing regarding the retro releases. The Duke and Scarlett classified were nothing like the ARAH versions so retro made sense. Alley Viper & BAT are darn near their ARAH versions already so what could they do for retro? Eels I agree was done due to first being harder to find. Major Bludd would make sense since Cobra Island version is different than ARAH version.
Some versions that are already too similar for retro (IMO) are Techno Viper, Quick Kick, Airborne, Bazooka, Outback, Barbecue, Low-Light, Tunnel Rat, dreadnoks, Firefly (second version), Alley Viper, BAT, Tele Viper (to name a few). Cobra Commander, Cobra Trooper and Officer are different enough for a retro version. Roadblock is close with heavy artillery but a retro machine gun and backpack could justify. Grunt could be done as well as Cobra Viper.

You could also think of the Retro releases as a way to rerelease figures people may have previously missed out on. So they can be changed to be more "Retro" like, but they could just rerun the BAT and release it with Retro. All they'd have to do is really not include the chest shield part.

I agree on the eel that and all the people on different site whining about missing out on it ..
The snow serpent got one for what reason because of the price of the deluxe version , if thats the only reason they should have waited till they were ready to make him right and not the half assed version we got both times , i really was hoping for classic snowshoes and classic rpk and not having to pay someone for their homemade versions . 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 could see a Major Bludd for sure. and the CI version is kind of scarce, too. Some versions that are already too similar for retro (IMO) are Techno Viper, Quick Kick, Airborne, Bazooka, Outback, Barbecue, Low-Light, Tunnel Rat, dreadnoks, Firefly (second version), Alley Viper, BAT, Tele Viper (to name a few). 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! Quote:
