While previous waves have been largely troop builders (not that I'm complaining!), these last two waves were largely character driven, with just a couple troop builders.
The G.I. Joe: Renegades series got a few additions to into figure form. Despite the apparent lack of support from Hasbro, there certainly was some quality work done by the G.I. Joe design team.
This is just a quick look at each figure. More in depth out-of-package reviews later. (I promise!)
Ripcord turned out to be a pretty decent figure. A few misses with this figure, but overall, not a bad job. Is he supposed to have hair or not?
I really like this version of Tunnel Rat. A great version of the Renegades character and just a great update on Tunnel Rat. I'm not 100% on board with all of his gear, but the figure is excellent! Scarlett gets a great remake in the Renegades line. Excellent sculpting, and great articulation highlighted by a pretty decent head sculpt. Gone is the massive melon-head from the Resolute version. Very small amount of gear included. And I know it's been a part of her since 1982, but I am so damn tired of the crossbow. Give her a damn rifle! As one of the "Easter Eggs" of Renegades, Law & Order get a great new version for the line. This is just an exceptional figure. I can't think of anything negative to say about him.
Look for the individual reviews soon!
We covered Ripcord. Tunnel Rat is a meh from me.
ReplyDeleteAs for a negative about Law and order? The dog's vest/harness thing should have been removable. PTE has a better German shepherd.
