So the interview the Full Force Podcast did with the Hasbro team basically had one answer to every question: Yo Joe June.
What figures are coming? Yo Joe June. Will distribution ever get better? Yo Joe June. What's up with Target? Yo Joe June. So what exactly will Yo Joe June turn out to be? Will it actually solve any problems, be any different, or will they just announce a couple more figures that will sell out to bots in minutes and pat themselves on the back? Also, will they ever announce it or will it be a Pulse email that same morning? What rumors or guesses can you offer up?

I can honestly say the future of whether I collect this line all depends on what happens in Yo Joe June. The way they've talked it up, Yo Joe June is them fixing the problems. If no problems are fixed, I'll probably sell what I have, cancel my pre-orders, and wipe my hands of it.
Until they release Low Light. I will probably buy and keep him if he comes out.

Retail figures will be easily available on Pulse, BigGoodToyStore, Entertainment Earth, Dorkside, GameStonks, etc.
Exclusives won’t even go up for order, just like Major Cripp and The Clone Wars Black Series As for them “fixing” problems, I don’t know how they’re really gonna do that. There is no “fix” for human greed. As a wise man once said, “life finds a way”, or in this case scalpers and hoarders find a way. |

I know for certain that whatever Hasbro reveals and talks about, there's going to be endless complaints.
While I haven't been watching many of the livestreams (always on Friday when I work), I get the feeling FANS have built up "Yo Joe June" to be a bigger thing than it was ever going to be. I believe YJJ is just a marketing build up for Snake Eyes. Hasbro's going to to reveal the following: Any remaining 2021 mass retail products (of which I'm not sure many are left) and maybe tease the first wave of Classified for 2022 They are going announce the first "Fan Channel" figure release(s). Think things like Generations Selects for Transformers. They MAY announce reruns or reissues of Cobra Island. I've seen several Target items get redistributed to online guys in the past so I think this is a safe thing. They will announce some of the assorted retailer exclusives for the fall, with preorders going up through the month. I'm certain Amazon will have something, and the other two are reasonable given the support they showed last fall. I suspect there will discussion or reveals for a new IDW GI Joe series, probably one skewing closer to the world of Snake Eyes or just a plain old, "Back to Basics", reboot like Transformers got in 2019 after that brand's soft reboot following Bumblebee and the launch of Cyberverse. There will be some talk of the 2022 brand direction (being the 40th Anniversary and all), possibly explaining what their o-ring comment was a few weeks back. If REAL lucky, they'll announce a new show or something to capitalize on Snake Eyes and the general marketing push for GI Joe. IF we got all THAT, I'd be satisfied. I'm not even sure HALF of what I speculated will actually materialize.

If we keep our expectations low as hell, we cant possibly be disappointed, right? Right?

Hoping for a killer Retro wave loaded with CV figures, a Wolverine, and a Ret. Ninja Combat Cruiser painted as a Stinger.

I'm not sure of much, outside of the fact that they will finally announce the addition of Major Bludd to the Classified line. SMDH.

So are there going to be announcements throughout June or is it happening on a certain day?
