i think it looks great. Im glad these arent straight reissues of the originals. they vary slightly and to me it makes them better.I have liked almost all the reveals so far. I do kind of wish the new trooper pack had the sunbow colors like the haslab trooper one. it looks really good.

That has to be it. It's probably the easiest headsculpt to recreate, so it could only be that difference in paint throwing me off.
I'll be happy if we just get a good mix of original versions, Sunbow versions, and comic versions. To me any version of Hawk should be blonde. But if they wanted to give us a grey version of Breaker I wouldn't mind. As long as it's not neon, I'll buy it. Too much of it most likely. Quote:
I mentioned this while WOJM was streaming, but I think we are all used to seeing the '82 CC at an angle that isn't the one they show, especially if we actually own one. Seen from the normal (above) angle, it should look fine.
EDIT: Also the camera angle on the renders seems to have the viewpoint at his boot toes rather than his waist, so I think we are getting a lower-than-normal angle on the figure, which would make the head look 'squished'. Think 4:3 vs 16:9 aspect ratios on TVs. Also, sorry that came out wrong. I agree it's also an artifact of painting the chin and neck silver in addition to what I mentioned.

Yeah actually I noticed it more earlier on the Duke head actually, he looked like he put on a few pounds since 1983 lol.

Man, these look awesome. Classic Cobra Troopers and Officers? Heck yes. Cartoon colors on CC and Duke? Yes please.
I really only have two questions: 1: Are they still going to limit people to two on the troop builder packs? Seems like throwing money away. 2: CC gloves look a bit odd. I get that they're trying to go for Sunbow look, so that's cool. (And if I don't like the look on the actual figure, I can always swap arms with the one that comes with the Skystriker.) If you're looking for a better Sunbow-style CC head, check out Luke's Toy Box on Facebook. You can see it on CC in the second picture here: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...ini-comic.html I feel like I'm always posting this, but he does great work. They could do a "Haul Down the Heavens" 2-pack and package him with Snow Job. Alternatively, they could do "Money to Burn" and package him with Ace or a snow Cobra Trooper. |

We now have the Stinger Driver figure mold newly tooled up in Retro O-ring.
Crossing my fingers for a Stinger reveal a month from now. I am ready to buy a pair. |

I wonder how much they'd charge for a VAMP/Stinger now... You might think $25 with a figure like the last Retro vehicles, but if I were a betting man, I'd wager it would be closer to $40-45.

Eh, all the vehicles were $25, from the tiny FANG to the many-parted AWE and the slightly larger HISS, which makes me think that was the pricepoint Walmart wanted, regardless of the toy. They're charging essentially $20 per figure for SEvsSS, so if that pricing holds, I can't see why they'd sell a vehicle and a figure for less than the price of 2 figures.
