I’m guessing our Cover Girl issues will be addressed with “Hunt for the MASS Device”. Seems like the obvious place to do a blond CG.

I’m 85% sure next wave of Retro is Flint, Major Bludd, and either Covergirl or Breaker. I am 100% sure Wild Bill will have retro release in Sunbow colors. I just see Hasbro doing Wild Weasel and Wild Bill extremely popular characters in a way for fans who didn’t back the vehicles. I guess time will tell. 

Thwipp!

Rock n' Roll, Mindbender and Cobra Viper have been their latest name-only retro reveals . I imagine 1 of them would be in the next wave, if not all 3.

I'm already ready for a retro Jinx.

@ibentmyman-thing That's funny... I am too. There's a lot I like about that figure but something about having the exposed neck bothers me. I like the bare arms though.

Definitely want retro Jinx. I love the updates to the mainline figure, but I also want a pure classic. She’s definitely a “yes, and” proposition.

Anyone else's NF Falcon + Quarrel pack *not* ship?  Mine still says "Preorder arrives by Sep 04".  Have just seen some reports that other people's figures have shipped and I was curious if I should consider reordering while it's in-stock and planned to arrive by October 5th.  I'll likely wait but I'm bored and curious.

Mine says by 10/2 but the little progress bar hasn't progressed from "placed". I'm always braced for Walmart to screw me though.

When I checked the site just now it still lists as Pre-order and not In-stock. Maybe it's just in your area it's in-stock.

I got NF Falcon and Quarrel through Pulse and got a delay notification last week. I think last time I checked Pulse had it listed as 10/2 shipping. 

I didn't realized they'd name-dropped Mindbender for a release in the future. I'd love another one - I got the fancy SDCC version but he has stuck hips so a second chance at him would be great. 

Adding my voice to the "yes and" Jinx chorus. I REALLY like the updated version a lot! But a classic version would be a must buy, no hesitation.

Wal Mart charges me for the pack but I think it was just the preauth cause it went away after a couple days. Sucks cause I was kinda excited. Oh well.

I preordered Falcon/Quarrel on day one and my Walmart order still says delivered by the 2nd and had a pre authorization the other day  (although it was like $112 for the two pack and two Venoms. Hopefully corrects itself)

I forgot we haven't got a classic Flint yet! I ended up making one (kinda) by cutting the vest off the original and honestly aside from the black of his shirt looking faded underneath, I like him better without the vest. I'd buy a proper classic version for sure. 

Thinking about what a Vintage Cover Girl woud look like. Long hair or blonde? rolled down sleeves? Not sure, but she seems like she'd be a good option. 

It's funny how the further back in the line you go the more they "need" a classic look and how the more recent figures are kind of almost there (Spirit, Shipwreck, Tunnel Rat, Low Light are all pretty close to Vintage already). What about Tripwire? He's one of the few modern looks I really don't like much just cos he's so bulky. Like I appreciate the realism but his original toy was so slim I'd love to see a similar one (probably with lots of reuse for a future Flash. 

 

 

I mean, once you remove the shoulder and leg pads, I’m not sure there’s much left to make Tripwire classic.

A guy on hisstank.com had a Falcon/Quarrel from Hong Kong.  I haven't noticed anyone else with them, but I don't do much social media, so may have missed others posts 

 

🤣hisstank autocorrected to "his stank".  I'm at work cracking up 😂

She is definitely at the top of my list to get next.
