This may have been discussed and I just missed it. If so, just delete the thread mods. Anyways, Hasbro knocked it out of the park with Storm Shadow, CC, Snake Eyes, but lets talk the other "ultimates". Flint, Roadblock, Firefly. First off, the 3 pack firefly from retaliation should have been boxed as ultimate. They should have thrown this thing in the 3 pack. Roadblock, simple new head sculpt with the old school look and perfect (and make him darker). Flint....not even close. I get it, tie in the movie to push the line, but the concept case flint being thrown in here would have sealed the deal on this assortment.
Thoughts? |

I think in the case of Rockblock, Flint and Duke that "ultimate" is used where "movie-accurate" would be more appropriate.
Blame Hasbro for that. Them coopting a fan-coined term wherever the hell they "think" it's appropriate is silly. |

SE WOULD be "Ultimate" if he had the head that was in the preview pics from last year and based on his V2 appearance, not his "Retaliation" head.

I love the Flint figure, not necessarily as Flint, but I can't wait to customize that bad boy.

A movie accurate Cobra Commander would have been awesome to have.
