I may have found a/the source of the 25th rumor that Angry Mike shared yesterday.
Surveillance Port wrote on Instagram yesterday that “the initial lineup is very reminiscent of the first 25th assortment.” The context was sharing the Walmart info described here a couple pages back, sourced toynewsi forum poster Jtprime17. There was no other context, but I asked a moment ago (when I saw it) if he meant just in terms of character selection or if he meant 4” figures. Will share any reply he gives if/when that happens.
On the Surveillance Port website regarding the same Walmart intel from Jtprime17, SP writes “the general assumption across the community right now is that this retro line will be a throwback to classic 80’s products (hence the Retro branding).” But he leaves it at that...and since the 4” are arguably a tribute to that same era, this doesn’t disambiguate much if you ask me. However, he does add a remark about the vehicles, which raises the further question about whether the 25th remark on IG was primarily about the vehicles and not the figures, or just speculative inference from vehicles to figures, or if it actually reflected real intel about the figures:
“In case you haven’t noticed, the vehicles listed so far are the same vehicles that we received at the launch of the 25th Anniversary collection. It’ll be interesting to see if a SHARC finds its way in to this initial assortment as well.”
So we are maybe a step closer to understanding a/the origin of yesterday’s 25th rumor. But are we actually any closer to confirming whether these are 3.75 o-ring or 4” modern? Unclear!
