From 3DJoes recent zoom call with Hasbro's Joe team:
Retro: more figures are coming, they would not confirm the wave 4 leak, or who those characters might be. They did not mention more vehicles, although we didn’t have time to ask. VINTAGE/CLASSIC figures: O-ring is NOT dead! They DO hear your calls for O-ring figures on social. They find it exciting and makes them want to push to make it a reality. Keep up the chatter, they are listening! My question because I must have missed it... what is the wave 4 leak? |

Change the date stamps on the figures to discern vintage from new, but no garish repaints!

Glad to hear the line isn't dead... just hope it leaves being a store exclusive so that if our preorders get cancelled we aren't just out of luck or hoping to get lucky at Walmart. |

The call wasn't published. Here's the full post. Full wrap this weekend. Follow 3DJoes on social or their thread here at the Tank.
Breaking news! We just completed an interview with the G.I.Joe brand team (Halle, Paul, Ben and Lenny) and Chris McLeod (of The Full Force podcast). The Cliff’s Notes are below, and my favorite announcement is at the end: Classified: They are well aware of the distribution issues, especially with the Target Cobra Island exclusives. It was a combination of underestimating demand and Covid related manufacturing and distribution challenges. They ARE planning re-runs and re-issues (like the Cobra Trooper exclusive —> Cobra Infantry non-exclusive release). They ARE considering vehicles but want to make sure they can do them well. News and announcements are coming in June! (six weeks out) Retro: more figures are coming, they would not confirm the wave 4 leak, or who those characters might be. They did not mention more vehicles, although we didn’t have time to ask. Movie: $9.99 figures will differentiate from the $19.99 figures both in articulation, action feature ($9.99 has them, $19.99 does not), AND packaging. $9.99 will come on blister cardbacks, while $19.99 will remain in boxes. $9.99 artwork will be more uniform and movie inspired (not yet shown), while $19.99 artwork (already shown) continues the Classified packaging tradition of commissioning a unique artist for each package. VINTAGE/CLASSIC figures: O-ring is NOT dead! They DO hear your calls for O-ring figures on social. They find it exciting and makes them want to push to make it a reality. Keep up the chatter, they are listening! One item of note: the four Hasbro folks on the line with us today were very nice, genuinely enthusiastic fans of G.I.Joe. They read what you write, so please be kind to the four people on this planet that are most likely to give us what we’d like to see when it comes to the future of G.I.Joe! Stay tuned for a full recap with Chris and Carson on the Full Force this Saturday! |

CV Tele-Viper, Cobra officer, Cobra Stinger Driver would be nice.

Good news regarding more Cobra Island re-issues. Baroness (and Beachhead) coming out again will please a lot of people. Looking forward to Viper and Firefly being offered again somehow.
