Indeed. One thing I've realized about the retro line is that the only thing it guarantees is that the figure will be on a card rather than in a box.

So I gave this one a 10. I too am a bit disappointed by the fact it did not come with more ARAh inspired weapons/gear. But I gave the original Classified Eel a 9 due to the foggy visor and now I finally have one (well two actually) that don't! So a huge upgrade on that front. Still a good figure and realize they didn't adjust his gear to basically release the figure again since the original one had a smaller run.

Bumping for votes

Eels are one of my favorite figures but Retro was too soon/too close to the Classified Eel. I'd almost rather have had a basic Cobra diver in place of the Classified variation.

Good point. I'm expecting a generic red and black Cobra Diver like the ME figure in Classified at some point. It's way too easy of a repaint for Hasbro to pass up on.

Yes. The Eel, Torps, the Action Diver, the Action Pilot/HALO Jumper have heaps of potential. The AP/HJ will be my stand-in Rip Cord, but I could see him getting a Cobra Paratrooper makeover too. Had the Retro Eel come first, I'd have satisfied w/ him.

Guess I forgot to vote here as well


I gave him a 9
He?s a repaint I have plenty of the original version would like either a female or a different version of him , or a large night landing raft
