Wraith Figure re-use options for Hasbro

Tsunami · **Posted:** Mon Dec 22, 2008 9:44 pm

I was thinking about repaints and Wraith and how the Big H might repurpose or repaint the Wraith figure.

I think for one, it is popular enough to re-release as is (both regular and clear variants)

But how about: Covert Ops Wraith all in black or shades of dark gray

Or: Wraith Viper, retool the head a bit, or just don;t allow the mask off, recolor slightly with rank or an insignia somewhere, and craft a bio-card about how a small hand selected cadre backup Wraith on certain missions....

Any other ideas on Wraith repains or re-purpose?

not to be a douche here, but before marvel announced and showed it's 1:18 line, i would have said Iron Man. in all his various states... Now, i just see Wraith as a sad shadow of ol' Shell Head...

Otherwise, i'd be knocking him out as War Machine!

ooo, ooo... I have one!

Just release it in enough numbers so that it's as common as those Scarlett, Duke and Python Officer figures clogging the aisles!

stealth snake eyes - yes...switch the head out with snake eyes.

If they want to stick with the comic figures, General Rey. Just use the first version Hawk head and maybe a new helmet.

Given some of the Resolute figures we've seen I could a repaint being used as some sort of trooper for that line.

Whatever they do...I hope they work out any arm issues....I just found one last night at Khols....haven't gotten a chance to play with him...but clearly those arm cables are an issue.

Paint it orange and black Robo - Joe V 2.0

I like the General Rey idea best. I did not follow the DD too close, so that did not jump out at me.

Robo Joe would be nice, but how about a Barbeque update with arm mounted extinguishers?

Dang, I was gonna say some new firefighter character, lol, maybe inferno?

Then again, as parts, wraith may serve us better.

With some Retooling and new heads, POW! Star Brigade!

I think the General Rey idea is a good one, but I think they would have to do some serious upgrades to the figure. I think it has some of the coolest ideas in the entire line in it, but the execution of those ideas is so poorly done that it makes it easily one of the worst figures in the entire line.
