Except that all the "retro/vintage" style Walmart exclusives from Hasbro come in vintage packaging. Even the ones attached to the Star Wars "black series" vintage collection ones.
While we still don't know if this will be o-ring or ME figures, the packaging will certainly be vintage style. Edited to add: and actually the very last GI Joe item to be released came in vintage packaging: the cobra missile command set.

And also, let's not forget that the Cobra Troopers and Cobra Commander that came with the 2017 SDCC Missle Command was straight up 25th Anniversary re-releases and not the Ultimate Cobra Commander and 30th Anniversary Cobra Troopers which I thought would have been a better choice.

I think you are mistaken about this. The Cobra Commander was 25th. But the two tropers were POC/30th. One was repainted as an officer, the only way to get an officer in the 30th body type.

https://www.yojoe.com/action/17/cobracommander56.shtml At the time Hasbro did an interview with the designers who said their parts choices were due to the desire to closely mimic the original Sears release as much as possible. |

The soldier was a lot of newer and older parts. As was the Officer. Quote:

Also the legs on the trooper and officer had shin guards, which none of the other "blue troopers" do from 25th forward. So they were unique in that regard as well.
