Do any of these code names correspond with any of the 6 inch figures?

Yeah, not all of them are preceded by the “retro” designation. Are those possible ME 4 inch, or just previous codes for 6 inch?

I think some of them may be 6 inch figures. I'm really curious about the Hiss Tank, since it DOES NOT say Retro next to it. Will it be a retro Hiss tank? Or for some modern 1:18 line? Or... could it be say a 6-inch scale Hiss Tank, like how Hasbro is doing some smaller 6-inch vehicles for Marvel Legends and Black Series. Could it be a 6-inch Hiss Tank?

Doubt the o-rings since very little of the molds still exist.

If this turns out to be more than a rumor, I'm all over this. While I somewhat agree with this :I'm an o-ring dude all day, so Hasbro can prey upon my nostalgia all they like.
It's also comforting to know that they are thinking about us old schoolers. I'd all but given up. Last edited by Sataninjaku; 03-15-2020 at 10:07 PM.. |

Couldn't they just cast new molds from vintage figures?

I don’t mean to be a jackass, BUT
TOLD YA!!! I knew Hasbro wasn’t done with 4”, especially since there’s so much 80s nostalgia right now and all the other brands are getting vintage style reissues. |

Only retro line I'd buy. Not really into retro as a rule. Joe would be different. Kinda of a stretch but could retro be more in line with Vintage ...like Star Wars super articulated 4 inch line? Probably not.

It's not that simple unfortunately. The loss of those molds is responsible for certain o-ring redeco figures from the early 2000's not having the correct parts, like the Alley Vipers all having V1 Duke legs and the Vipers all having V1 BAT legs.
They could always go with brand new molds that approximate the originals, but that's more of an investment, so it would really depend on how profitable they'd estimate that kind of line to be. |
