Okay, here's one for all the tankers out there... During the run of the 25th Anniversary line so far, has anyone out there noticed "errors" within the line that aren't faithful with the releases in the classic 1980s line??? Examples:
- Neither the Target exclusive and Vehicles series 1 H.I.S.S. Tanks have the iconic "788" number on the side of it, even though the box of the one that comes with Rip-It has it pictured with the "788" on the side of the tank on the back of the box. -Neither version of Steeler released so far in the 25th line has the correct Range Finder Goggle accessory with it. -Target exclusive H.I.S.S. Tank does not come with a red H.I.S.S. Driver. -The whole Target exclusive Night Specter is an error in my opinion. All it really is, is a SHARC painted black and it came with Silver Grand Slam. Everyone knows which vehicle the original Silver Grand Slam came with, I assume??? =) Grand Slam never came with a version of the SHARC in the 1980s line. SHARC's always came with Deep Six. Hasbro fixed this mistake with the release of the SHARC Tooth that came with Deep Six. -There is no current version of the 25th Anniversary Breaker out there with a beard, like the 1982 straight and swivel arm version does. -The gun that comes with the wave 3 Stalker is not the same one that is pictured on the card, or the one that came with the 1982-1983 version. -The gun that comes with wave 3 Firefly is not the same design that was made with the 1984 Firefly. -Wave 4 Destro does not have a chrome head. If anyone else has noticed these or any other "inaccuracies" in the 25th Anniversary line, leave a comment on this thread and share your findings!!! |

This is gonna be a long thread.
I'll just add: the whole using Duke legs on every other figure thing. Straps holding on the gear on the sides of the original 13's legs. Flint not having rolled up sleeves or front thigh pockets. Cutter. Rock n Roll, Breaker, Clutch's sleeves not rolled up far enough. Steeler looking nothing like the original. The pistol strapped to Clutch's boot. Roadblock's thighs not having the correct gear. BBQ's thighs having those squares. Ace. Starduster's lack of camo. Screw this, I got work to do. |

1- Buzzer came with a saw-rifle looking thing in the original line- not a flaming chainsaw.
2- Serpentor didn't look like the single-carded figure prior to 1990. 3- Flint's missing gloves. 4- Zartan and Major Bludd never showed up to parties in the same pants.... 5- Cobra commander's helmet was cool at first... now it's annoying. |

DAMN forgot about Serpentor and Cutter, and how could I forget Flint! Man Hasbro really FUBAR'd in the beginning and needs to redeem themselves with better looking figures.

All the complaining about what they didnt get right and not one person has ever said anything about the Commando SE not having the right lower legs. All this talk about Steeler not being right, but never how SE isnt right either....Steeler is just as close as SE is....all he is missing is an open shirt with a collar...
I dont recall the Original 13 having holsters on there left legs....but yet thats a mistake yall live with??? My point is who cares??? Do you not change your clothes? Last edited by spacemonkeymafia; 03-04-2009 at 09:19 AM.. |

Gosh, I must have missed the memo that said Hasbro had ever stated that every figure would be an exact duplicate of their original ARAH self.
