I just opened my H.M.S. It's pretty cool, really dig the red and black techno viper, the red really pops on him. I also don't have the waist swivel qc issue on him that I do on my 3 mainline versions. The techno viper is definitely the highlight of the set for me. The H.M.S is cool but it's definitely something that I'm glad that I only bought one of.

Anyone want the red and black Techno viper. I don’t need mine. I love the purple version.

I mean, I ASSUME they do, but I never do catch them doing it!
Picked up Quick Kick and Techno-Viper today. Sweet figs. Techno is PERFECT, Quick Kick nearly so (I don't like the Jinx backpack, but that's about it). Makes me think, do people think everyone is going to get a Retro release? Because other than being on the nice vintage card, I can't see what they could do to make these more accurate to the RAH figs. I feel like the Eel really only got one so quickly (or at all?) was because he was an army-builder and Amazon exclusive... |

Mezco Bishop is fantastic and he's pretty cheap, for a Mezco.

The 90's Jim Lee Rogue has been a crazy ride. The Juggernaut Wave version from 2016 was pricing at around $150 at its peak, but crashed down to around $35 after the release of the retro card version in 2020 which peaked at $60 and then fell back to the $35 to $40 price range, and now he new hotness is X-Men '97 (2024) which is up to around $60. Ironically, 20th aAnniversary (w/Pyro) and 60th Anniversary (Outback) are selling below retail on the secondary market. Rogue is a super popular character, but only in her 90's look. For the X-Men comic relaunch this summer, Marvel is even returning Rogue to that look.
Interestingly, there is a simmilar pattern with Snake Eyes in Classified. The first version 02 is holding value but the msot sought after is Retro. The two releases with Timber and the Desert Commando are all selling below retail. People really have an iconic version of most of the tentpole characters and that's what they really want. The variants and alternate looks don't seem to carry that popularity with them. |

Some versions that are already too similar for retro (IMO) are Techno Viper, Quick Kick, Airborne, Bazooka, Outback, Barbecue, Low-Light, Tunnel Rat, dreadnoks, Firefly (second version), Alley Viper, BAT, Tele Viper (to name a few). Cobra Commander, Cobra Trooper and Officer are different enough for a retro version. Roadblock is close with heavy artillery but a retro machine gun and backpack could justify. Grunt could be done as well as Cobra Viper.
