REALLY. I caught some youtube review where the guy more or less complained about that plastic flex strain appearing on the thumbs. But when i was inspecting them part of me figured it could just be the paint. Im so excited. Just need some good guys to fight the bad guys.

O-Rings were asked about during the recent fan site Q&A.
Emily said ask again in 2 months... i.e. PulseCon time frame. |

I?ll remain cautiously optimistic that we have good news coming our way. I would love a half of what Classified is getting right now. There are some cool figures coming out and I?d love o-ring versions.

I just want to say that I really hope the team releases Night Viper. Even though it's a personal favorite of mine, it's one of those troop builders that everyone can agree on, and would sell really well. I can't think of a single person that doesn't like that figure. |

I'll take that as good news. I don't think she would have said that if it was bad news, as I don't think Emily (Hasbro marketing) would want to create anticipation through a statement like that, only to have bad news be the result... so, knock on wood, that's enough heads up for me for now.

Totally! I never expected reveals if the soft reboot is not happening until next year, but all I was looking for was just some kind of acknowledgement that o-ring news was coming.

Also, thanks for mentioning this... it saved me an hour+ of having to sit through Classified news and discussion... not that I have anything against Classified, I just have no interest in the line.

That's not going to happen. They're seldomly trickling out v1 sculpts of core characters, they're not going to grow the line past that.

I also infer from listening to Lenny and Emily that a tenet of the Retro line is reproducing the old "experience" as much as the actual toy.
Emily made it a point to emphasize how many sticker sheets the Skystriker HasLab will come with so you can recreate that experience. On the flip-side, the HISS HasLab is modernized so it's got tampos and is ready to go out of the box. Lenny also noted that he prefers the old school way of building your toys, almost like a model kit. We see some of that with the Stinger and I believe that approach is what helped keep the cost on that down. I expect to see a similar approach for the next Retro vehicle, and hopefully a similarly digestible price. |
