@unclassified The shock oil? I'd rather not add chemicals to the plastic, but then I would have about 75% of Classified figures with stuck hips. I should take the time to sand down the ball joints instead.
Btw, I mentioned in earlier post how the Vamp re-sparked my interest in 3.75 vehicles. The red panel on my STUN shattered in multiple pieces when I tried to reattach.
(Not my photo)
My red Stunn panels crumbled apart as well. Some of that vintage Joe plastic has become brittle and will break at even the slightest touch.
Duke is outstanding. I really hope they can make a Flint just as vintage and worthy.
The extras that are packed in with Duke and Scarlet put these two figures over the top. I opened Scarlet this morning and you get a LOT for $25, I was very satisfied. I want to collect as many of those standard issue "cartoon" style rifles as I can. Damn this line is so good.
Amazon actually shipped my Duke after screwing around with my Airborne the last couple days. First he was Monday and then Tuesday. I canceled after he didn't ship yesterday afternoon since I have one in transit from Pulse and another on preorder at BBTS. Yay, with a Duke on the way I can stop the daily trips to Target again.
I have to agree with docsilence on Metal Head. I like his figure much more than I expected. His design is something I would turn my nose up at toward the end of my ARAH collecting days, but now I love the absurdity of rocket launchers strapped to someone's thighs. What a maniac.
My aliexpress order arrives today. I won't be around but I'll report on the quality as soon as I'm able too.
This probably won’t look good, but would anyone be willing to post a pic of the new retro Scarlett with the first version’s head? Personally, I’ve always liked the first version they did of Scarlett for Classified, especially the headsculpt and paint, but I’m curious to know how it looks on the new retro version’s body.
I don't have the new Scarlett yet, but from what I've seen, I think I prefer the previous recolored head sculpt more. I plan to swap, but who knows when. Not soon since I haven't found her or received my POs.This probably won’t look good, but would anyone be willing to post a pic of the new retro Scarlett with the first version’s head?

Scarlett hasn't moved for shipping for me either, but just based on all the pics I've seen, I legit like the first wave's head better, though I also think the one on the retro card looks more like a straight lift from how she looked originally. No complaints either way, I like both, but there's something unique about that Wave 1 head sculpt I really dig.

Yeah, I’ve always felt like that Wave 1 head sculpt has a lot more personality. People complain about how young she looks, but I like the idea of her being a younger, over-achieving member of the team.
I'm actually curious to see what Retro Scarlett looks like with the Snake-Eyes movie Scarlett's head.
checked five video reviews of scarlett... not one attempted head swap... not to mention i couldn't find a duke review that showcased his upper torso articulation range... our classified reviewers are failing, honestly across the board some of the worst toy reviews are joe reviews /rant
Well at some point I actually want Retro Snake Eyes and Retro Storm Shadow rereleased in these new thicker cards because my Walmart MOC are way too flimsy.

I would be worried that the head might look a tad small. The movie figures were a bit on the tiny side compared to the regular classified figures. I don't have either figure in hand, so couldn't say for sure.

Y'know, it hadn't occurred to me til you said it, but you're right, it is a much younger-looking face. But I also think Duke from Wave 1 looked pretty young, too. I think I saw them as a sort of modern/just starting out interpretation of the characters. It'll be kinda cool if the carded versions of both look more mature, so both sets stand apart in a distinct way.
