Come on, dude. I know you don't mean that literally, but that's still not remotely true. I've had Legends figures take tumbled off of REALLY high shelves and emerge unscathed.

If you "play" with modern 6" figures (Classified or MOTUC or Legends or whatever) for any length of time, I am pretty confident the joints will become incredibly floppy. They may not break, but they aren't made to be constantly re-posed.
Fuck it, maybe I'll just ignore my annoying urges and do some photo shoots anyway. You know, this was one of my arguments when people were raging against the Classified series early on. It's effective.

Wait, they're re-releasing Scarlett? Do we know which version, exactly?

Honestly, I'm the type of collector who usually poses a figure on my shelf and then almost never touches it again. Not a lot of re-posing or playing in my house. Sometimes I get the urge to grab some figures and take them somewhere to take pics but then my OCD kicks in and I remember that I'll have to put them back where they belong afterwards so I don't do it. I'm a pose and forget about them type of collector too. But I know that my MOTUC figures' joints get looser and looser every time I have to re-stand them or repose them for whatever reason. Maybe Hasbro's 6" are better, but the joints on my Legends figures suggest they are about the same. I should say that I love the modern 6" scale. I just don't think they are made to be true action figures for rough play.

Oh I don't know how about support this line in the hopes that the sales will lead to additional waves and hopefully some of the concept vault releases. If sales are strong enough perhaps even a full retail release instead of a Walmart exclusive.
I for one am happy that it's POC style figures. That was the best Joe product ever produced period. That ultimate Snake Eyes is one of the best bucks made to date and awesome for custom fodder. If you want new 4 inch product support the line at retail. Actually BUY IT AT RETAIL. Do not wait for it to go to clearance. It seems like Hasbro has their paint app problem fixed (50th line was terrible) by what I am seeing in the Star Wars line, so that is a huge plus. Hopefully the quality of plastic is also better than the 50th as well. I hope they release more Vipers and Troopers (eBay prices are nuts on the troop builders). I always need more ( I really have a problem LOL!) I for one am glad to have 4 inch Joe back at retail. Some of the 6 inch stuff is cool and I have purchased all of the released stuff so far but it will take up a large amount of space when displaying not to mention my heart will always be more geared to the 4 inch size.

Only if you lack the ability to understand it.
Your examples are stupid. We're not talking about completely new figures that are different takes on existing characters. We're talking about straight re-releases of figures that have been out for years. If you want to own 7 or 8 of the same exact Storm Shadow figure that's cool, brah, but it's just silly to me. I do. Excessive army-building is weird.

Dude, you're seriously retarded. I'm not even saying that to be hurtful, I honestly think you have a learning disability that's probably been holding you back your entire life. I feel bad.

Of course I knew MY answer, but I don't know THEIR answers, and that's why people ask questions.

Duke and CC are supposed to be in wave 3 of this line. I hope they don't screw them up too.

RB, Scarlett, and Destro are the next 3 figures they are supposed to release. We don't know if they will have new tooling or not. We don't know if they are using certain recipes that we all know would be awesome versions (FSS TF RB in V1 colors for example) or not. I just hope they don't screw them up and give us 25th ann. repacks.
Duke and CC are supposed to be in wave 3 of this line. I hope they don't screw them up too. Then again, maybe they'll end up like Walmart's 3.75 Star Wars Black series and we'll see some more interesting stuff in later waves.

I think Scarlett will be Renegades most likely.
If they do Resolute, I have to think they will give her a new head entirely. That head was so reviled, it would take real guts to re-release it.
