Released in September 2024 as part of Wave 3 from the Retro assortment, Stalker gets the retro treatment and other than a new, classic ARAH-inspired paint deco, he is the same exact figure as the mainline release figure was. For the retro figure, he is wearing his bright green camouflauge outfit with black boots and gear.

Differences between the main line Stalker and the retro figure: (1) this Stalker features a bright green camouflage that's a slightly different type of "camo" pattern compared to the regular figure, (2) Retro Stalker has black boots, webgear and a backpack holster instead of dark green, (3) Retro Stalker has bare hands instead of gloves, (4) this version has a camouflage beret where as the regular Stalker has a solid dark green beret, (5) the weapons are cast in a slightly darker, more "true" black compared to the regular version's weapons, (6) Retro Stalker does NOT come with the removable shemagh scarf, (7) Retro Stalker's skin tone color is a little more saturated and has a slight reddish brown color, and (8) Retro Stalker doesn't feature the fade haircut like the regular figure has and also has shorter sideburns.

Sgt. Stalker comes packed with the following gear and accessories: a rifle with removable magazine clip and belt, a sub-machine gun with removable ammo clip, a pistol, a sound suppressor, a knife, a removable backpack gun holster, a removable beret and a display stand.





Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration.

I got mine yesterday. He's okay, but if you already have the main line Stalker I feel like that is a better done figure. This retro one definitely scratches the itch for a more classic looking ARAH style Stalker though for sure.

The cap seems to fit a lot more loosely on this one than the original version, at least on mine it does. It doesn't fall off, but it's way easier to just lift it off his head compared to the #46 Stalker.

I give this figure a 7/10.

His expression disappoints now twice. Stalker was - to me - the guy who didn't lose his cool or show his cards. He, Roadblock, and Spirit Iron-Knife received some of the worst sculpt expressions - like Hasbro forgot who they were.

Spirit was the most disappointing for me when it came to the vanilla facial expression , though AIRBORNE made up for it kind of , my ethnicty is mostly of native american descent on my dads side his mom grandma etc ,and also his father etc , and those 2 figures were my hopes always loved airborne a lot when i was young and spirit was no different ,they were/are the only real modern interpretations of my lineage that dont look like a stereotype . And im happy to have them sorry went on a bit of tangent..


Also i haven't received mine yet so i wont vote but eagerly awaiting delivery … so i can

8. I really like Classified Stalker. It's a fantastic figure. If a classic colorway is what you're hankering for this will do the trick.

Though the paint apps and deco on first release Stalker seem sharper than the Retro version.

Absolutely love this Stalker.

6/10

Very underwhelmed with this figure. I'm not a purist so I probably didn't need it to begin with.

Solid 9 from me. The beret looks a little odd but it'll probably grow on me.

It’s a solid figure, but completely unnecessary. I loved the first Stalker figure and was perfectly content with it. The new one looks good, but not perfect. I don’t like the color pattern on the beret, his head sculpt has a weird shine on it( looks like he is sweating ), and last why didn’t they give him the classic XMLR Laser rifle hat came with Duke and Scarlett? If you do not have the first Stalker it is not bad. If you do have the first Stalker you really do not need it. I gave him an 8.
