If they aren't dressed like they're straight out of the '80s -- and I don't mean the '80s toy line -- then I don't even know what we're doing here.
Damn. Just…damn. Very nice.
Each one of these is a get. The Hawk is perfect; so are the two Dreadnoks.
Curious as to the price point for the Vamp. Are we talking $60-some? Or $80-some?

I'm not meaning to sound dumb here, but generally, how would 'retro' Duke and Scarlett look? Haven't they been pretty consistent over time? (and if they haven't, it's fine to tell me, I just looked them up quickly and it always seemed like some version of 'yellow and green' for them, I didn't pay a lot of attention in the 80's).
Run, Hot Shot, run!
Basically closer to their original figure versions. A good comparison would be comparing Classified Gung Ho’s original release and comparing that to his Walmart Retro version. Or Snake Eyes, where the Alpha Commando version used Beachhead parts, but the upcoming Retro version uses parts from Stalker (which is more accurate to the original figure.
Scarlett may have had the color palette, but her uniform has been modernized so far. But the Dragonfly is coming with Glenda which has a new mold that is very much the original V1 Scarlett outfit (which is what Glenda was originally repainted from).
I assume a retro Duke will be a similar retro uniform.

I had a brainfart for a moment there and assumed "Retro Duke and Scarlett" were going to be more 1:18 o-ring figures.
Randy Orton was on clearance at Walmart last week, which means I could finally justify my Hit n Run custom.
Stalker body (you can tell. The fingers need another dab of paint), ordered the rifle and helmet from Gridiron.

Looks like the Viper is here!

Anyone get the Classified Python Patrol / Tiger Force figures today? I tried to get Vypra on Pulse, but I like, sneezed or something, and when I recovered, she was out of stock. Oh well, so glad that I pay for Premium membership, because I preordered her through Target.
Both Flint and Vypra are still available at Target.
