We can probably guess what movie figures we'll get from the preview, but what other figures do you think we'll see from the movie line? Some repaints, maybe a vintage update or two thrown in? Here are a few I want to see:
-Repackage or repaints of the latest hard to find figures (SS and LL). -Maybe some of the unreleased figures, like POC Alpine. -How about Major Bludd.

i would like to see a shock trooper repaint, with a more infantry geared loadout and maybe a different head.

It could be really cool if they gave us some classic-inspired figures in the Retaliation fill-out spaces.

Soft Master would seem to be a perfect inclusion considering the heavy ninja focus. Billy, not so much since it makes no sense in the ROC universe.

Re-release 30th SS please... don't really care about the Renegades version.

But I really can't recall any significant unreleased figures that would work in the film's context. Quote:

I've been saying this for months, but I think it bears repeating: Retaliation is NOT going to get the volume of product we saw in Rise of Cobra. We will NOT have two figure SKUs, we will NOT have 40 figures released in 2012 (at least I hope not given retail trends over the past 4 years). Given the performance of many of RoC's items, I don't see retailers jumping onto big 8 figure multipacks or $50 vehicles as exclusives. I wouldn't be surprised to see a classic nod here and there (again, PoC Alpine and Desert Scorpion both would work in contexts we've seen in the trailer), but I fully expect the core figure assortment, and most of the big vehicles (anything over $20) to stay pretty tightly tied to the film

Alpine would cost you guys 80? I got the whole pack for 15.
As for figures. I'm thinking of Cobra's troopers would be awesome from this movie they don't look half bad. I may want to swap CC's head with Resolute depending. First Firefly looks more commando than a saboteur so I may want to army build him. Swat Troopers painted black and without shield for the bad guys at the start of the trailer. Definitely a mixture of Joes on Screen and Off. |

Barbeque.
Wet Suit Torpedo Para Viper Aqua Viper Cobra Eel ...sure i'm missing some. Not to mention several kitbashes using old parts like Kamakura or Charbroil. Quote:

Bludd makes some sense... maybe a kind of easter egg in the movie at best, like a viper officer or something like that... but Quote:
