Of the code-names that have been cracked, I think Snake Eyes is the safest bet for the first reveal (if they don't reveal all at once). Between the movie later this year and the Classified figure being the first of it's scale revealed and shipped, it makes the most sense. So ASSUMING o-rings, here's what I think we're looking at:
V1: Hasbro had the majority of this mold back during the rerelease era. I see 3 possibilities. First, a straight repaint (no-paint?) of the comic pack version with the new head. This is what we would have gotten if the "Past and Present" packs of 2009 had gone forward. Second, the mold as we'd seen it since '97, everything correct except the waist. This would show a little bit of effort on Hasbro's part, going with the V1 head, but I would be disappointed if they didn't recast the waist, or use the one from CP Short Fuse. Lastly, a figure using 100% parts, original or recasted, from the straight or swivel armed figure. That would show effort, either in finding or recasting the waist, or remaking the entire mold IF all vintage tooling has been destroyed.
V2: Possible, because of how iconic this version is. If this figure shows up, then Hasbro is all-in on doing it right (at least sometimes), because the vintage tooling is gone. As long as they don't pull a 2000s approach (remake most of the figure, but find arms that are "close enough").
I'm betting completely recast parts as that's what they've done with the other retro lines.
