I'm not sure, seems odd to me because the community here seems ok with how the first Firefly turned out, could've just re-released him for newer folks getting into the line, sure the new one looks good but re-doing previous figures too much is showing the line down like molasses, could've used that spot for lots of other characters
Look how often Marvel Legends revisits it's A-list characters. Do you feel like that line is moving slowly?

Throw some cheat armor on him and this is a sweet look. I too would love a version two rnr. If the new fig had some chest armor like flint or breaker i think the new classified rnr woulda gotten a lot less negativity.

I don't think the skull itself bothers me, as those have always been a big part of rock/hard rock/metal culture (Grateful Dead's Steal Your Face, any of Iron Maiden's artwork or GNR's Appetite for Destruction are some good and older examples of that). But I agree the tattoo on the back of his hand seems more like a prison gang or street gang type of tattoo. But then people who love tattoos sometimes do run out of room and get art wherever they can fit. So, I'll just go with that in my head cannon!
The pattern or location of his arm tattoos I guess does look sort of odd. A full sleeve where they would sort of all connect would have been a little more "realistic". Not sure I like the Sailor Jerry "Mom" tattoo on him either. Seems like that would have been much more fitting on Shipwreck. All that being said, I'm still super excited to get him and think he looks great overall. But yeah again more than anything it's the 'cool skull' on the hand that is the biggest eye-sore of the lot a blonde surfer dude with ink that is predominently seen in mexi-gang culture?... Other than that i think all the design choices made are fine, i expect a OG13 lookin one will be popping up in the 'retro card' section before long anyways. This one makes sense in terms of something that catches your eye in the toy-aisle. Kid me would have picked this figure 11/10 times if it was on a PEG with a OG13 looking one. Quote:
I agree. I remember my older brother and I immediately wanted him when the '84 series came out. He just looked so cool in the dark grey and black camo and all geared up with the demolitions stuff. He was definitely one of my favorite ARAH figures as a kid. I remember when I would play GI Joe with my friends or brother back then and we'd pick teams, he was always one of the first to get picked!
Boba Fett of G.I. Joe is a perfect way to describe him. 84 SS 85 SE 84 Firefly 84 Zartan Firefly OG is 100% an A-LIST character. Last edited by magik; 03-27-2023 at 03:18 PM.. |

I'm fine with the update though, simply because I think all of the characters that were only in Cobra Island should be re-released in some way. Those things were a PITA to get early on, and more people should get access to them. Last edited by Spider5800; 03-27-2023 at 03:17 PM.. |

First Firefly is wonderful. Yes, he's the RoC Firefly basically, but he still looks great.
That said, Firefly is a character you can absolutely get out there in a new form (in this case in his OG style) and he'll easily sell. He won't be "wasting" a slot because like Boba Fett, everyone wants him anyway and will happily get ESB Fett and RotJ Fett and Kenner Fett. It's really felt odd how long the line has been out and we've gotten one Firefly and one Major Bludd only so far. Maybe if figures didn't come out maybe twice a year we'd be further along at this point. |

Yes, that's my reasoning, I still don't have him or Bludd because $50+ for one figure is too much, newer collectors to the line should have options to get iconic characters

It's fitting that page 666 has an image of RnR with the devil horns on it.

Yeah, I was lucky enough to get Bludd and a couple of other CI releases at reasonable prices, but the CI Viper still eludes me. And I don't army build, so $90 for the 3 pack isn't really a fix for me.
