Retro Quicksilver will be up for preorder this week 9/19 for international markets. He will be available exclusively at Walmart in October for the US. Most likely Walmart Canada will also be going out in October.
Boy did I dislike Marvel Legend Walmart exclusives back in the day. Hopefully this guy is well stoked. I've been wanting the green version for awhile.

LOL. So I'm a huge fan of Stephen King. Well most of his stuff anyway. When I actually find time to read. But no spoilers. In the book Finders Keepers the main antagonist is male described as having these prominent pink lips almost like he's wearing a shade of pink lipstick. And while that's not that creepy in itself there are additional descriptors that paint a picture of the character as very creepy in that typical King fashion. But the pink lips are what sticks out to people the most. But the point is no matter who the character is, every time Hasbro does one of these characters like this my mind immediately reverts to that creepy image of the character from that book. I just can't get it out of my head. Maybe that's the primary reason I don't like the print but I honestly feel most people think it is a little much.

First it's not enough color on the faces no it's just a tad bit too much. Honestly I really don't think anyone would be too heartbroken if they just refrained from painting the male faces lips at all.

It's a nicer head sculpt to be sure but man those pink lips really bother me. I like the printing but those lips have got to go. First it's not enough color on the faces no it's just a tad bit too much. Honestly I really don't think anyone would be too heartbroken if they just refrained from painting the male faces lips at all. If they could have kept the color scheme from the previous figure and put it on the new sculpt it would have been perfect. As far as the body style goes this is the spot for it. I so hate the way Hasbro uses the Sunfire mold as a utility filler for bodies they dont know how to place. But this is its spot. Thinner guys that should be in great shape. Guys like this. Guys like Shang Chi, Scarlet Spider and Tarantula. Even Pym who benefits from being in great shape to get maximum use out of his powers. But skinny guys like Pyro need a skinny body. Big muscular guys like Silver Surfer and Firelord need bigger bodies. It goes without saying. I guess Hasbro just needs a better R&D department that does some kind of research outside what is commonly understood to be little more than a standard search on Google Images. But this I have no issue with. Other than the botched color scheme.
Oh nice, not only does the new headsculpt just look great on its own, but it's also not oversized like the previous Quicksilver's was!
It doesn't look bad considering the body they went with, head and hairsculpt as well as nice finish and color of plastic really save situation here.
Happy to see the head swap will work between figure
Fantastic. That's one of the best male headsculpts they've done lately. I'm in the same boat of not caring overmuch about Quicksilver. Yes, I too was displeased about their using a Reed Richards face on the FM version, but that figure still looks nice enough in the background. This is one of those things where if I see it and there's nothing else pressing, I'll get it. Otherwise I'll wait for the inevitable blue suit release with this headsculpt.
Shown below via xcorpeo is an in-hand look at the upcoming Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends Series Retro Quicksilver figure from Hasbro. This is expected to go up for pre-order in October likely during the next Walmart Collector-Con event.

I know he is suppose to have light green underwear, boots, and gloves but he still looks good with the whites imo. He'll do for me until the blue upgrade comes along.
