Hoping for something closer to ME than o-ring. Also hoping this isn't Wal-mart exclusive...cause that'll be a pain in the ass to get in Canada.

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. |

But look at the bottom. The pics also a Marvel Retro line but they are 6 inch. So this GI Joe Retro line could still be 6 inch, right?

Sike nibba, they’re new molds made to look like the old ones. They have slight variations so they won’t be passed off as vintage, but from first glance they’re the same

I get that, just like the Retro SW figures. Key thing is for them to be original enough to warrant picking up, as opposed to just another straight up repaint... though honestly, I'd settle for that too. I am getting ready to start all over again after all, and that would be a great way to kick it off. Just like what brought me back in the first place with the RAHC, in fact.
