Yeah, these are all new parts, buddies. Aside from the eye test, they stated as much at some point during the livestream reveal.
Which is concerning when you consider the remarks Weber made about waiting until we see the products Maher has actually designed before passing judgement. I would guess that this is one of them. I do not understand the genesis of this figure. Jason |

I’ve seen new sculpts mentioned twice tonight. Is this something new or an old piece of information being referenced? Thanks!

We are talking about the Retro Fang Pilot: Sans the helmet, none of the parts on this figure have ever been used on a modern era GI Joe before. (The helmet may be new too). We believe this may be the sole work of the mustache, and it may be a clue as to how the Retro line will look going forward. If so, then I'll be extremely disappointed.

Wait, what? WHY would they spend the time, effort and money to create something like this from scratch? The fact that there are still classic figures that have never received a definitive update make this even more infuriating. Who is sailing this ship? They can't be this dumb, can they?

Strangely I like this figure. I understand why others may not though.

I think once in hand the Fang and Pilot will look cool. The lines better match the hiss tanks angular shapes. The pilot could look more aggressive. Less like a fireman. The red and blue areas look dull and washed out. For fun I did a paint over while watching TV thinking about what changes might improve him. I have 2 on preorder and can’t wait to get them! Never had a Fang.
