If these are good in hand I could fall down the rabbit hole beyond initial curiosity if certain characters are produced.

Wow. If those Walmart listings are correct, Retro launches with the Z-list characters!
Snake Eyes would be nice though.

I fear this line being utterly irresistible, and in a year where I’ve been spending far more on earthrise than I ever planned.
Always wanted an AWE Striker (followed by a water moccasin and a dragonfly).
And it dawns on me that if it’s a success and they go on and do Tiger Force repaints I’ll be in an even worse place!

This is turning out to be one heck of a GI Joe relaunch.

Except for Retro which turns out just be redecos of 25th Anniversary figures. Saves me cash though. If they had been 80's style like Star Wars and Real Ghosbusters Retro I would have been doomed! An easy pass now.

Disappointing, but they are nicely accessorised. I will probably still go for an AWE Striker though as it seems to be the classic vehicle.

Target exclusives. Sigh.
Good to see Baroness though and the first vehicle!

I was tempted by the Baroness but I have got to the point of being fed up with so many new figures going up for order but none actually coming out! I want to see what the quality is like before I think of ordering more.

Aren't those Retro ones the movie ones packaged on old cards? The Baroness certainly looks the same as the one I have.

The Retro figures are redecos of the 25th anniversary line figures.

Hmm. I'll haver to dig out my Movie Baroness - it looks so much like that one - especially the accessories. Or were they the same as the anniversary ones too?
Edit: Nope - glasses are different.

Hilariously, the 'Retro' figures (not vehicles) are in stock already at online stores! Meanwhile, Classified keeps having new figures be solicited while we still wait for *anything* to come out...

I don't see what's 'retro collection' here. The 25th figures were done 'retro' first time round. This is just... a re-issue!

And their Retro Real Ghostbusters figures. And TF G1 reissues.
