If Farooq's skin tone isn't fixed the sleeves don't really matter much. The sleeves are a nice little fix. I don't see why the skin tone should be much harder to fix. Just as many people here have complained about the skin tone as the sleeves. |

I would rather have the sleeveless one but I'll have to wait and see what the uk gets in.

Dammit, Smyths won't get those ones in the UK. Toys R Us sometimes get the running changes though, so I might wait. Who am I kidding? I won't wait. I'll probably get both. Do you know why they only have E38 and not E37? Probably just some weird thing where they didn't get sent the photos. They're not skipping 37, they just haven't got it up on the site yet. |

I wonder is they will lighten the skin tone of Farooq on the second wave? They have done colour changes before. Such as the Warrior (USA) in the battle pack, they changed the colour of his hair. That was a paint application though. Farooq's head and arms are molded in that color plastic. It would be much harder to make a running change of that nature. the shoulders are molded in the black color of the sleeves.....so they have to change those to make them sleeveless |

Great news. I wasn't ever going to pre-order them but I'm glad I didn't flirt with the idea. I appreciate the change.

Sleeveless sounds great. I planned on getting em anyway, but this just sounds better.

He'd look fine in the Rock/Roman skin tone... that's what Jakks did. There's also the Darren Young skin tone. It's not like they had zero other options. |
