I dunno if I agree with you dave, I won't argue the point of it being different, as it's quite clear hasbro wanted to use the 25th as an excuse to try out something new.
I do agree partly with what you said weeks ago maybe for the celebrations they should of stuck to more conventional methods
I've seen the review on Scarlett, and like any figure she has plus points and minus points too. The fact she can't sit down properly is a bad design flaw but maybe hasbro will modify this for 2008?
In 1982 they made adjustments to the whole 1st series and brought out them again as re-released versions with swivel arms. Giving better articulation to the arms. Perhaps we'll see history repeat itself 25 years later, but don't hold your breath.
I just looked at some images of the price cards, it had snow job, gung-ho and crimson guard priced at $5 each. Hmm.. I'd be interested in some of that.
