I’ve said it elsewhere, so I should note here as well –

Although I love the retro concept, I feel that the character loadouts have really hurt the lineup. I can understand cost constraints (ie – Snow Serpent/Eels gear, et al), but for examples like Stalker, you already have the kibble available…why not use it?

What say you? Did you add either or both of these figures to your collection? I’d love to hear your take in them.

Thanks as always to Bobby Bee for the intel!
