Still not diggin' the blond mohawk and she's still missing the holster and the red tops of her boots, but I'll be glad to get mine. I've never modded an exclusive before, but I definitely will be with her.

Nice, man! Consider me jealous!

I dig that alternate weapon. Big improvement over the original.

I'll probably sculpt on the upper red boot part, because right now, she has floating kneepads. What Destro holster are you talkin' 'bout, Willis?

They're new? Then why the hell did they not sculpt different boot tops that connect to the kneepads? It looks off visually, forget accuracy at this point.

Because this is Hasbro. Only Mattel takes more shortcuts.

I always wondered why vintage ARAH collectors were so nitpicky about details when modern versions are released. I never thought the modern versions were supposed to mirror the classics anyway. Aren't they just supposed to be an updated nod to the classics?

Nah, they're pretty much re-making them. And I couldn't care less about the red so much for accuracy, but it just looks dumb. If she's got knee pads, then sculpt straps around the backside of her legs.

But the way she is, the tops of the boots don't actually connect to the boot tops.

But regardless, if you're going to have card art for a product, the figure should match that, or they should edit the card art to reflect the design changes. They weren't lazy about that with the majority of the 25th figures. For a SDCC exclusive, it's about presentation, and I dislike the discrepancies.

Because they think Hasbro owes them faithful reproductions, when they've been fudging things the entire time.

I was hoping I didn't stir up a virtual hornets nest with my comment, but I'm seeing more and more that this is one of the more "well-adjusted" sites out there. You guys rock.

Nope, we don't get uppity with contrary opinions.

Unless you like RoC. Then you're marked for ridicule and humiliation.

The lack of a holster and the floating knee pads are definitely a let down. Do the 25th/30th/ME Joes have to be exactly like the OG figures? No, but if you're going to change something, change it for the better. Floating knee pads are not an improvement and not including the holster is just cheap or laziness. Maybe both.

I'm a foreign-born Aussie, so there's nothing wrong with my brain chemistry. :D
A lot of my Aussie mates, however... some of them think "Ace Ventura 2" and "Joe Dirt" are the funniest movies ever. So, yeah, you're right.

As for Zarana, I wouldn't mind the black-clothed variant. Honestly, what tough biker chick would wear pink?

I'm just gonna go watch "Remains of the Day" with some wine and cheese, and cry to myself at the decline of civilization.
Then I'm gonna break out the beer and nachos and have a South Park marathon.

P.S. Sorry for derailing the thread. :D
