A set of 5 different white arctic themed "prototype" eBay listings from viperskingdom have shown up, some of which display an Action Man logo! There are two listings of a parka/hoodie figure with the Action Man logo on the upper right chest and left arm. The same base figure with left arm logo shows up equipped with a repelling harness. There is a "Wild Bill" with the 50th gold star on the upper right arm. There is a Cobra insignia on the Snow Serpent figure's upper left arm as well (interesting use of different lower arms and what looks like Resolute Snake Eyes' torso). The ROC Ice Viper doesn't look to have a logo but I'm guessing the missing vest would have a Cobra insignia (using of Ice Viper legs/head w/POC Firefly torso and arms).
A post from earlier this year showed images directly related to these figures: Unreleased 2016 G.I.Joe Card Art Revealed? - HissTank.com Were some of these possibly what was pitched to retailers for a 2017 GIJoe line or connected to vehicles from the 2016 line? Maybe an internet exclusive? I'm guessing this wasn't a use of the GIJoe molds for a different line like Jurassic Park with the inclusion of the Action Man, Joe and Cobra logos but it's up for debate. The arctic theme is interesting yet very niche. These have a long way to go and I see some of the usual prototype hunter suspects bidding so I expect some of the figures to reach the high hundred to two hundred price range. I'll bow out in the hopes of seeing additional listings in my price range. Links and pics below. Sorry about the image sizes but I don't know the code to size them down.

We saw artwork away ago for more 50th product that included the Snow Serpent and Ice-Viper, so canceled 50th stuff for those two

Curious, It seems that Hasbro does a better job at not releasing toys at this point.

It would be really fun to see an Action Man line... and if it used Joe parts, that would be great! What head are they using for "Action Man"? That looks really familiar.
... Sorry, it's POC Law. That works really well, actually... maybe a slightly different hair color. Not too shabby.
