Man, I always hated going to Rawlins. There was something depressing about that town back then (and maybe still is).

The same in my area (coastal South Carolina). There was one store that I ordered from, which is scheduled to arrive later today.....they are sending three packages for 2 retro figures (unknown) and a pack of 2000 qtips. 2 packages are out for delivery and one is still sorting....classic Walmart.

Wouldn't it be a kick if it was the q-tips.
Were q-tips ever scarce in the pandemic? I don't remember it anyway. |

Someone beat me to a full case this morning. Wiped 'em all out before I got there. I'm still searching to hook up other 'Tankers...

So I had a change of heart and wanted to support Pulse offering the Walmart exclusives, ( I asked for it, and got it so I have to back it) and grabbed one of the Cobra Commanders. I know it’s not the Ultimate build, I think it’s the 2017 SDCC Missile Command HQ set build? But I really do like the figure. I appreciate the lighter blue (the darker blue on the Ultimate works for the hooded verison) and the red stripe on the leg is much appreciated. Having the original Mail away CC as a kid I am glad that I changed my mind and grabbed one.
Not to mention Pulse has gotten all of my buys to me mint or near mint, also appreciated. If I can buy these through Pulse after a few months wait I’m happy to wait. I’m done with the other place. What the community’s consensus on this figure? So far I think Duke, the Fang, and the new Cobra Trooper were the only duds.

Here are my thoughts on all of the Retro figures so far. My rating scale is: Great, good, average, poor, Piss poor.
SE: Great Figure!!! Yes, he's missing his commando head, but I was able to get multiple for Customs, mainly my Plague Trooper team. I know he's a repack, but he's the best version of ME SE IMO. SS: Great Figure: Yes he's a repack, but he's the 2nd best ME version for SS IMO. I got multiples to make a Cobra Ninja Viper team, and will do some more customs soon. Baroness: Average figure: Yes it's a repack, but her body sculpt still holds up today. She could have used a new head sculpt. I like HHFF's partially minimized SDCC Baroness head for her. That would require too much work for Hasbro though. Hiss Driver: Good Figure: I like everything about it except the legs are stuck in a wide stance. Crank Case: Poor Figure: The New head and helmet do not make up for the crappy 25th parts used for the rest of the figure. There were better parts out there for him. Scarlett: Good figure: The use of the Helix legs, and new head sculpt barely puts this figure in the good category. I really dislike the torso they used. At least this is the best ever ME head for Scarlett. Destro: Great Figure!!! Yes it's a repack, but he comes in a great Deco pattern, and his knees are straight. I was able to get a few to correct my 50th Destro and Red Jackal legs. Roadblock: Average figure: The Torso and gun are great, but the legs really killed this figure for me. Limited articulation is not acceptable. The head is not RB, but it makes a good Col. Courage. Fang Pilot: Piss Poor figure: The lankiness, huge feet, and open hands make this look like a Chap Mai figure. If I wanted that, I would get one of those figures then. Lady Jaye: Average figure. The legs , torso, and gun are good, but she wasn't all that great of a figure the first time she was released. CC: Poor figure: I like the legs, but they just don't go with that 25th torso. If they would have used the 50th torso and arms he would have been a great figure. I would have gotten multiples to make customs. Duke: Piss poor figure. I don't understand the use of the 25th parts, when many of us on here have come up with better kitbashes. Just check out the "Put up your Dukes" thread on here. CT: Piss poor figure: Same reasons as the Fang Pilot. It's just lanky, and looks cheap. Stalker: Great Figure. I really like the head sculpt and size, and the new thicker thighs do not make the figure look too lanky like the CT. I can't wait to pick a few up!!!
