Yes! That is, as the old saying goes, what I'm talkin' 'bout! Sure, he's a little skinny, and I wish they'd re-tooled the comic pack head (which looks exactly like the cartoon) and put it on this body, but just the same-- This is likely to be the greatest representation of my favorite Joe ever produced.

I'm even more on board with this concept than I was yesterday when I saw Storm Shadow.

Will these be compatible with 3 3/4th figures in dios? I'd like to know.
And will they make Flash and Grand Slam too?

Jeff Gordon!...I can handle critcism of mere mortals, But not Super G. Next thing you'll be dissing Jimmie Johnson!
And as for Duke.....well, I'm still not convinced. The detail in the sculpting looks awesome, but he does look a little gangly. And the articulation is worrying too. Certainly an improvement over that ninja though!

No the articulation is really good! Its all SW joints! He's just like my Obi-wan fig who is the most articulated jedi! At the rebelscum photo archieves on the figs they show the poins of articulation. Just like on duke.

The more of these new figs I see, the less I'm liking them.

The construction looks like sigma six characters. No way they are compatible with what I've already got. I don't know why people are saying they are so detailed. They say the same thing about new sculpt stuff. The ARAH stuff form about 1986 forward is way more detailed than these figures or the new sculpt stuff except for maybe the heads.

Because the nu skulpt stuff usually had sharper edges to the sculpts as opposed to soft edges. And to protect the old stuff, of course the 86+ figures have more 'stuff' on them. These were the original designs from the early/mid 80s and mass gear on them wasn't an issue. Look at 1982. How can you even pick on them when it's meant to be simplistic?

THis Scar works for me. I don't have a Scarlet figure i'm happy with now. Same with Duke.

The construction would be more accurate to say Microman articulation even tho MM still has more. I'll be getting these regardless.

I agree that the 1982 Scarlett is neither realistic looking or very detailed. And yes all the ARAH figures before 1985 or so weren't very detailed. It really is next to impossible to use those figures from the first few years in dios with older figures. But this new Scarlett isn't very detailed or realistic either. The comic pack Cover Girl is a much cooler figure. It is the perfect example of a new sculpt based on the original figure done right.

But you're missing the point. Cover Girl was based on the comic renditon from DD because those are comic pack characters. Plus, DD updated her look. 25th Scarlet is based on a 1982 design so it's not like anything would be added or taken away. It'd be more accurate to say that this is how the current sculptors would do the 82-85 designs.

At least they gave her long hair.

And try comparing DTC SawViper and Rollbar to ARAH Falcon or SKy Patrol Airborne and tell me the sculpting isn't tighter on the newer stuff in some cases.
