Just curious - I saw on the front page here images of Dusty, General Hawk and Flash - was that anything to do with Wave 3? Or more of a tribute to Hector Garrido?

I thought the panel was from 11 -12 today, but got on in time to catch the Retro line items.
I feel much better about that Scarlet after seeing it posed and the ponytail addition from the cartoon (doesn't really match with original figure. The more I see about Roadblock the less excited I am about it-perhaps that is due to my own expectations of what we would get -Club head would be better & the legs seem to be an odd fit. I feel as if the retro line suffers from three things: -lack of vision-is it retro for the cartoons or retro for the original ARAH action figures release? -lack of knowledge of designers- with as vast a catalog of parts to choose from we see too many questionable decisions in the designs (Roadblock head and legs; Scarlett gloves and torso; spending budget on new cast parts when better options already exist yet lazily choosing parts where a new sculpt would be called for. -distribution and assortment of product-the female figures are being short packed causing difficultly in finding them in the wild. I fear that Destro will become a shelf warmer.

It looks like RB uses the body with no ankle articulation. No way Hasbro.

The fang looks awesome. Never had one as a kid. I’m guessing their starting out with smaller vehicles to test the waters? Is that what they did with the 25th and 50th? I’m hoping we get a vamp or tomahawk at some point.

I can confirm that the Retro Joes Wave 1 (Snakeeyes & Storm Shadow) have been spotted in SC. I was skeptical of the previous report as it came from a FB group rather than the 'Tank posting.

Have to admit, I'm baffled that they chose now of all times to give the FANG such an overhaul. Totally out of leftfield.

Yeah, the skin tone is better as are the paint apps on the medallion. I am bothered somewhat by the difference in reds between the collar, holster, missiles, and grenades. It looks like 4 totally different reds on those parts but otherwise I think the paint changes are all improvements, technically speaking. I still prefer the black boots though.
