Doubt it - I thought Hasbro had said in a recent Q&A that there were no plans. Which seems like a missed opportunity to me.

Did y'all see the new Flint figure from the upcoming convention? I'll be interested to see his file card. Will he be David Fairborne of Action Force?

The convention Flint is kind of meh.
BTW, check out the pics the Club has posted of the first waves of PoC product. The figures are awesome. Dusty is really cool. We're also getting 3 new Joes: Tomahawk (Ghost Hawk), Night Fox(a really cool painted AWE Striker) and Kickstart (the mech driver).

He looks more like Falcon to me.
I kind of preferred the old Jungle Duke - I like the new headsculpt better, though. The Alley Viper has potential but I'm not sold on it yet. Very cool that we're getting Beachhead right away.

Resolute figures are up.
I'm kind of disappointed. Hoping final figures will look better. The Beachhead would make a good Sabretooth I think. Stalker will be a new Joe. Siberian Duke will be a new Joe.

Yeah alot of disappointment for me as well. I was hoping a kick ass Gung-Ho with Roadblock mold would be in that set. Stalker is a surprise. I'm disappointed with the Dreadlocks. Military standard does not allow for hair that long. He looks ok but arms are a little skinny. Flint looks good. How many times can they use those legs in one set? Scarlett looks Ugly.
The Cobra pack is pretty disappointing as well. Head Sculpts are terrible. I like Destro's body, but would swap the head. Maybe make a realistic Raptor or Crystal Ball. Firefly looks weak as well. Storm Sahdow nothing new. It sucks that POC will have many of the same characters with better molds. Sort of shooting themselves in the foot here. I think these 7 packs need to be army builder friendly. Whose going to army build those Alley Vipers? POC looks real good though. Alot of reuse in molds though, but most of the vehicle drivers are new characters which is a good move. Dusty looks great. Recondo looks great. Duke I like the original head we saw..(I called it Elias-Duke). I'm tired of all the Snake-Eyesese though. Convention Flint just looks lame. O-ring vs ME is sort of like Rotary phones vs Cell phones. (I hope those Red Shadows are going to be awesome.) I'm curious too Oliver about if this Flint will be Action Force Flint. Still I see myself renaming or head swapping a lot of Joes this year |

I hope they keep the seperate lines. IDW figs would be cool, but we haven't really seen anything that is that different.
I wouldn't mind army building the Resolute Alley-Viper, but not when have to get a lot of the extra unique guys as well. I see lots of renaming in the future. Love it.

I think we'll see different/better versions of these when they hit - these all look like prototype paints to me. I could be wrong, though. I dig the new look for Baroness over the ones that hit eBay, though.
