I'm just not feeling this figure.  The Retro line is supposed to be mostly re-use to try to create new or variant figures,,,,,,,,,and here it just looks cheap.  The painted details on the costume probably should have been sculpt, the portrait is serviceable but seems....bland.  I think what I'm feeling is the price-point creep is diminishing the appeal of characters like this.  There's no real value -for-the -dollar here despite it being a character that's been sought after for years now. It's bland and that's disappointing.

Bland it is. As a simple, basic figure it doesn't do much, BUT this figure represents a character whose power is making multiples of himself. Which is exactly why this basic, stripped- down figure should have come in a 2 or 3 pack. How they missed this opportunity is just beyond me.

the gold didn’t come out that good
i imagine yellow being the sensible choice

You're correct, the gold didn't work. I think I know what they were going for there....in this suit, those gold accents were mechanisms that absorbed kinetic energy, and the team was trying to reflect that. However, the accents should be raised and have a metallic sheen to them. Here's where hasbo can learn from some of the other toy makers out there, like the Four Horsemen's Mythic Legion line, or XesRay Studio. They're using amazing paints and detailing that really show off the quality. But, since hasbo evidently doesn't want to put that kind of effort in, on this one  they should just use plain yellow, so its not washed out.

ah i see.
sounds like metallic yellow would’ve been the way to go then.
often think they should use that for ”gold” on the classics anyway.
