I do like the new fang. I wish they would have used the old tooling and used the budget to do some other stuff, but I like how it is true to the original.

THANK YOU! The redesign feels very chunky like a True Heroes vehicle. I'd have been very very happy with the 25th FANG in a true vintage box, sans the new pilot. Just use the original box art and give me a classic Cobra Officer on vintage card to buy with it.

The listings for Scarlett, Destro, RB, and the Fang are up on WM.com, if you search for GI Retro collection. They say out of stock for now, but they will probably go live at 5 EST.
THEY WANT $25 FOR THAT FANG!!!! TOTAL BS!!!

Yeah it's too stubby to be a Fang. More like a Toof.
The torso on the pilot is good, but the rest is a waste. Can't even use the head for Ripcord since the mask isn't removable. Nothing retro about him. I would have rather had a blue Hiss driver. |

Hey Mustache, I just mocked up this release for you. It doesn't require new tooling or anything. I can't believe you got the OK for hasbro to spend R+D on a new Fang and pilot, and you come up with this crap that no one wants? It just doesn't make sense.

I was trying to stay positive about this line. I was disappointed with W1, but I accepted it as I could use SS, and SE for parts. I was disappointed with W2 RB and Scarlett, but I accepted them because at least we got new head sculpts.
But this Fang release just pisses me off totally. They spent money and ruined a previously perfect toy!!! Then they added a pile of disproportionate crap on it with that pilot. If you are going to bring back the Fang, just give us the set suggested above!!!! Why not use that new tooling budget to give RB articulated legs? Why not tool a perfect torso for Scarlett? I don't understand. It's like they don't want me to buy these anymore. DAMMITT!!!!! Sorry for the rant. Just venting. Now I will get ready to pre-order these figures.
