Hisstank broke news that Walmart computers are reporting a 4" Retro line. But what exactly do you think that means? https://news.hisstank.com/2020/03/15/wa ... gFnHJR3xQo |

Hm. If these are o-ring reissues...i'll likely pick up a few. Possibly more if they use the flexible lower arm plastic material that prevented thumbs from breaking like they did 20 years ago. I personally don't have a need for the vintage o-ring figures despite my love for true 3 3/4'' If this goes beyond simply reissuing vintage molds i'm definitely interested . |

....if they actually look like they'd fit in with vintage figures but with non-breaking thumbs... I could be tempted. Card art is going to make or break it I think. |

Following the recent "reliable source" that told us that they saw great GIJoe figures from Jazwares in Germany, I'll stay prudent about all this. If this is indeed a retro, O-Ring ARAH line then I'm in. The 2000 figures were and still are pretty cool. ARAH never was a Kenner style line of figures, so I really doubt that they would take that road unless they plan on releasing Action Force. I'll be very disappointed if the so called retro line is 5 or 6" figures on ARAH style cards. |

A Retro line and the only classic name is the HISS, I'm interested but leery. |

Don't some of the other Hasbro lines use code names for product retail listings before they're officially announced? I feel like Star Wars has used them before. |

Yeah, when the 6 inch line was first leaked, they used place-holder names before the official reveal. Marvel Legends has done that before too. |

It wouldn't surprise me if these were ARAH figures (maybe made without the o-ring mechanic) on repro vintage cards. Look at Hasbro's retro collection Star Wars figures. Plus Wal-Mart already has exclusive Transformers retro figures. Classic G1 figures on retro cards / in retro boxes. |

A perspective: Despite being a life long ARAH supporter ... I'm more interested in Lanards current Corps figures than vintage o-ring figures generally speaking. |
