I agree with psychoviper, no swivel arm is wrong. I would of gone in with these but lack of swivel is a deal killer!

It really sucks, but on the other hand, I understand that they wanted to represent the first figures of the line.
Again, we're not SW fans. We love our swivel-arm battle grip!

And the crowd goes... mild.

If they do Flash or Destro, I might get them. Nostalgia figures for nostalgia's sake. The rest... Well, at least someone's doing something new-ish for the 50th.

Last week I stopped by a wishing well and upon tossing in some spare change I made a wish that the O-ring line would return and would be bigger than ever...

Be careful what you wish for kids!

Siiiigh. The first one is Grunt, he's in a footlocker and he looks just like the one I had in 82? Ok, Shut up and take my money.

No swivel arm?!?! Are you kidding me? I won't be buying a single one. How can you mess this up so flagrantly? Damn shame...

This wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I requested for the return of the o-ring.

Surprisingly enough, that would be something I would do...

Can you imagine trying to change the o-ring in 30 years? I don't have a big enough screwdriver. Would have to use a lawn edger.

Also can you imagine the cardback for these?

Neat looking.. But no.

Not viable in the long run really. They should have gone with figures that would sell more, from a business approach. I don't think these are going to be in very high demand, despite being pretty cool in a different sort of way.

Next question, is that a new 3-3/4 Stalker?

Paint looks...different...

Yeah, I have to agree.
I would buy an '85 Snake Eyes, '84 Storm Shadow, '86 Beach Head, and '86 Serpentor. Not interested in any of the ones announced / shown.

I'm sure there will be some sort of a market for them, but personally anything other than the figures I mentioned, I have no interest.

I really like the idea, just not the figure selection.
