Hey man, I hear you. Personally, I think the lead time is too long. As a fan it's cool to know, but then again the announcement of a figure shouldn't and it's availability for pre-order shouldn't be no longer than six months.

Roadpig's confirmed to be coming sometime, he's the one figure that wasn't part of the names reveals they use to get in front of leaks

Plus there's characters we can infer, now that we're getting more Dreadnoks, we know we're going to get every mainstream one over the course of the line

I imagine that R.P. Golobulus, and Nemesis Enforcer will be announced in around the same time because of the parts reuse.

We can infer that the Carolina and navy blue C.C.s with the regular COBRA sigil is coming. Flash and Grandslam (both the red and silver pads,) because they share the same legs as the "Mickey Mouse," C.C. plus o.g. versions of Duke and Scarlett.

I think that between now and the end of next year Torch, R.P. Zandar, Gnawgahyde, and Zanya will be in the pipeline

I'd be skeptical over movie figures except that with the recent release & the community's forgiveness over the movie we can likely expect some movie deluxe figures

Gnaw's one I wouldn't expect either but with the pet figures he's one that is possible; Kamakura's the only reason Zanya's possible which I would have thought unlikely before

Don't forget about Monkeywrench , Thrasher and Zanzibar!

BTW, the pipeline reveals are probably not going to go away at all for those who dislike them or the waiting game. I believe Hasbro only started doing them in order to counteract all the product leaks that were happening on Yakface and other toy sites. Honestly, what is the difference in the end? Whether you read the leak on a toy site like before, or get the news from Hasbro themselves like we are now, the wait time didn't change. Just the source of the leak / reveal.

The Thunder Machine is a highly likely option for a Haslab, so they'll probably hold off on a single release Thrasher and put him with his vehicle.

I don't think we'll see Nok vehicles in this line for Haslabs, there's too much time/money involved in these that Hasbro wants guarantees they hit their numbers to fund them-I'm expecting Vamps or Stingers next

That's why they decided on the HISS first, it needed to be iconic enough for super fans plus recognized by casualsthat it was distinctly GIJoe

Gnaw has a ton of stuff with him that would make him deluxe, especially if he came with his animal.

I'd always have expected Zanya just because they'll run out of female Joes soon unless they go real deep into lore. And if they need female villains, well, it's basically Baroness, Zarana, Heartwrencher, Pythona, Biggles-Jones, Zanya, Vypra, and Munitia, right? So we probably see them all at some point.

Ground Assault Cycle makes 100% sense to come out. It's just a repainted version of the cycle we already have two of.

Could probably do the Tri-Cycle maybe as a under $100 vehicle.

Yes, Gnaw's one of my favorites, was very excited when he was released in the BBTS set because I didn't expect to ever see him get new figures-he's got tons of cool weapons plus his hog to get the deluxe price

I'd like to correct what I said on Zanya, I was trying to say she is more likely now since Hasbro is releasing Classified figures from the DD comics which looked unlikely before where they were keeping the figures in house
