Oh, yeah! It’s gone ASAP! I had forgotten. No chance my FF is gonna be stuck with that mess.

I'm planning for some minor tweaks, at least initially, like getting rid of the groin and shoulder pads. I'll see how he looks after that before deciding if I want to go any deeper. I'll stay on the lookout for grenade sashes too, and a decent modern sub gun. MP7 maybe? He at least has some good...

Can you wield your dark magic and see how many they have in stock? I'm curious as to how many FFs they produced compared to the troopers and Vipers. As I mentioned in the other thread, I really think their botched release of FF last week caused a lot of people to pass him over.

I did get sucked into ordering a Tarjay trooper yesterday (free ship to store at least). You and your squad leader comment over in the other thread... :LOL: I guess it's akin to the trooper/officer thing back in the day.

Those are... interesting... Not sure why the shorts but no top though. Seems like an odd choice. Crazy Japanese thing (or are these Chinese designed)?

Right? Just like he did in the cartoons I suppose...

I agree. I did have him back in the day, along with just about all his henchmen, so I suppose I have a soft spot for him. He’s not as much improved as Bludd, but he’s very true to his original form.

Well, I went ahead and ordered a Zartan. I figured I wasn’t going to do better than $18 + shipping from Mercari. The quality of the mold/build outweighed the sheer oddness that is Zartan. Besides, without FF or Viper, my Cobra team is in need of some support :p. I’m afraid I’m beginning to lose...

I get what you are saying. These are most definitely more true to the roots and retro style. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a few characters in this style. But for me it just comes down to the price, the cloth and some of the less realistic aspects keeping me from jumping in. Truly...

That's a pretty cool figure! I'm glad I went to see all the actual stuff he comes with. The ammo belt and box, (yes) the vest and even the "flashes" add some realism appeal for sure. And the volume of gear is significant. I like that he is outfitted in subdued colors as well. I would never go...

That is a very well accessorized fig, and so true to the original! I just wish (and have always wished) he came with a trenchcoat or some other clothing disguise as well (maybe instead of the long rifle, bow & arrow and a couple of the masks), so it's not still, "Hey, who's the new guy wearing...

July re-release?

I have to say the Retro line puzzles me. Like you said, some of the figs are pretty good and would fit right in with the 25th series - I’m thinking Stalker, Destro and Roadblock (and maybe the Cobra Trooper) - and some scream (pardon the pun) knock-off - looking at you, O-face Duke, plus...

I agree with you that it was nice that the scalpers apparently slacked off enough to let the pre-orders linger for a minute. I don’t know if it’s Target doing better, the scalpers losing interest because only some of the figs get top dollar (I hope they took a bath on the others) or if interest...

I'm perfectly fine with these being Tarjay exclusives. Beachhead, Firefly and Viper, not so much.

Similar for me. I had Col. Hawk before Duke back in the day, but that Hawk was a pretty useless figure, and stayed with his MMS or whatever was pulling it. I believe I got Duke as a mail-in and liked him until Flint came out and was immediately leading all my field teams. Gen. Hawk came out, and...

Love the classic Flint and LJ! I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of that version of Scarlett. Duke is... Duke. Save for creating a unique version, his look is just... plain.

I may just leave them off as I have with anything that doesn’t cooperate or just doesn’t work (i.e. Beachhead’s beret). So, today I’m in Walmart, and wouldn’t you know it, Flints, LJs and CCs on pegs. I picked up the CC to bolster my Cobras. As you said, he ain’t great, but is obviously CC. So...

Lol, so I mentioned I had no need for Major Bludd. Well, that was until I happened upon a peg of 5 of them (nothing else, just him 🤷‍♂️) when I made a pit stop at a Target (they typically have clean bathrooms 😝) while coming home in 4 hours of stupid thick rainy Friday northern VA traffic...

Cool. I’m satisfied with the version I have and really have no use for Timber, especially for an extra $20. I do like Commando version the best, but feel like the single version has enough of it mixed in.
