Maybe we will get a proper 50th ARAH style Duke, Scarlet and Roadblock. We need updates figures of all of these figures.

I may have found a/the source of the 25th rumor that Angry Mike shared yesterday.
Surveillance Port wrote on Instagram yesterday that “the initial lineup is very reminiscent of the first 25th assortment.” The context was sharing the Walmart info described here a couple pages back, sourced toynewsi forum poster Jtprime17. There was no other context, but I asked a moment ago (when I saw it) if he meant just in terms of character selection or if he meant 4” figures. Will share any reply he gives if/when that happens. On the Surveillance Port website regarding the same Walmart intel from Jtprime17, SP writes “the general assumption across the community right now is that this retro line will be a throwback to classic 80’s products (hence the Retro branding).” But he leaves it at that...and since the 4” are arguably a tribute to that same era, this doesn’t disambiguate much if you ask me. However, he does add a remark about the vehicles, which raises the further question about whether the 25th remark on IG was primarily about the vehicles and not the figures, or just speculative inference from vehicles to figures, or if it actually reflected real intel about the figures: “In case you haven’t noticed, the vehicles listed so far are the same vehicles that we received at the launch of the 25th Anniversary collection. It’ll be interesting to see if a SHARC finds its way in to this initial assortment as well.” So we are maybe a step closer to understanding a/the origin of yesterday’s 25th rumor. But are we actually any closer to confirming whether these are 3.75 o-ring or 4” modern? Unclear! |

That really doesn't mean anything since we got those SAME vehicles multiples times in the 2000s, including the SHARC.

Yeah, it's just C.I.A.D. just making speculations. I wouldn't put too much thought into it.
;) Smootches.

Well, it's been a month now since the initial leak, so my hopes are higher for pictures any day, but my gut feeling is still at least a couple of weeks away. But I'm ready to speculate some more!
Of the code-names that have been cracked, I think Snake Eyes is the safest bet for the first reveal (if they don't reveal all at once). Between the movie later this year and the Classified figure being the first of it's scale revealed and shipped, it makes the most sense. So ASSUMING o-rings, here's what I think we're looking at: V1: Hasbro had the majority of this mold back during the rerelease era. I see 3 possibilities. First, a straight repaint (no-paint?) of the comic pack version with the new head. This is what we would have gotten if the "Past and Present" packs of 2009 had gone forward. Second, the mold as we'd seen it since '97, everything correct except the waist. This would show a little bit of effort on Hasbro's part, going with the V1 head, but I would be disappointed if they didn't recast the waist, or use the one from CP Short Fuse. Lastly, a figure using 100% parts, original or recasted, from the straight or swivel armed figure. That would show effort, either in finding or recasting the waist, or remaking the entire mold IF all vintage tooling has been destroyed. V2: Possible, because of how iconic this version is. If this figure shows up, then Hasbro is all-in on doing it right (at least sometimes), because the vintage tooling is gone. As long as they don't pull a 2000s approach (remake most of the figure, but find arms that are "close enough"). |
