Yep, I decided to watch the full video too - joking about Fridge, and both Twins mentioned, so that answers the two things suspicious about the list. There's a lot to like here, the only thing is I hope it's not a TF version of Outback.

Here's my take on the list, in case this is just a way for Hasbro to leak some possible names to measure fan reaction:
Croc Master, (with a crocodile,) - I'm always glad when they make the expensive pack something I can skip and not feel bad about it. Storm Shadow & Spirit, (with Freedom,) - Whether or not I am excited about these will 100% depend on what they look like. There are versions of these figures I love and versions of these figures that I hate with the passion of 1000 burning suns. If Storm Shadow is just a repaint of Artic Mission Storm Shadow it will be an easy pass. But I don't think it would be. I'm sure they'll try to get closer to V1 storm shadow in light of what we saw them do with commando Snake Eyes. COBRA Officer - Won't get it unless it's a fem trooper. Others will be over the moon, I know. Tomax and Xamot - I'll be getting these no matter what. I really hope they look awesome. I worry on these figures you know they're going to redesign that what they like about the figure won't be what *I* like about the figure. Refrigerator Perry - Sounds like this was just a joke. Stalker - Please let this be the Stalker figure of my dreams. I am holding my breath they make him a great mostly original sculpt instead of a mish-mash of other figures that "work" as Stalker. SieGie - Yes, yes, yes, yes. Unless they overdesign this figure to death, like they did the Red Ninja, this will be the only figure I army build. Really excited. Zarana - I'll get her. If this is the first Dreadnok beyond Zartan, it should give us an idea of the direction of the rest of the Dreadnoks. I hope they have the brains and guts to release her in 80's-tastic glory. Dusty - Meh. Some people will be super excited about this one, I know, like I am for Stalker. I am glad to see figures LIKE Dusty, though. Viper & Viper Officer two pack - Probably will skip. Tiger Force v Python Patrol figures - This is when I stopped collecting GI Joe as a kid, when they started re-selling me the same figures as part of cheesy sounding teams. Which is funny, because I loved the Special Missions: Brazil set that was their first repaint offering. But these will probably be an easy pass for me. Final thought: Where's my Low-Light?

Well, I'm coming from Transformers. There's 3 leakers that have had a proven track record for the last two years now. Hell wevet just gotten Target internal listings for some Transformers product to confirm some leaks they said a few months ago. What I'm saying is that GI Joe' current iteration isnt even two years old at this point. I highly doubt there is any credible leakers for this line right now. Especially not leakers who'd go to low sub count YouTubers when they could do what the TF leakers do and just tease our balls directly on the forum. Until we get a credible leaker and gets a good track record, I'll only really believe leaks like when we got shipment manifests, or in hand copies like with Bludd and the Hascon Zartan.

Wasn't WOJM one of the low sub count YouTubers claiming that the CI figure with vehicle(Breaker) was going to be Mindbender and Pod and there was an unannounced troop builder coming with BBQ and deluxe figure?
GI Joe isn't big enough yet for me to believe non physical leaks as legit. Will post my thoughts on the line later when I have more time, but initially I'm super stoked if this line-up is true. Actually really like the idea of Tiger Force vs Python Patrol especially with the new logos they designed for the special teams. I agree with Fred regarding the idea of releasing the Alley Viper this year and also suspect we will see the B.A.T.s then too, because I think they'd released the regular version of the B.A.T. before they release a python patrol version. |

Low sub counts will do anything for clicks and clout. It doesn't mean they're always sus but I'll always keep it in mind.

I am stoked if it is indeed Stalker. He was the first Joe I ever got. I don't know that I am big on the Python Patrol/Tiger Force, they came out after I gave up collecting. Hopefully Hasbro has learned from this last year how in demand these figures will be, especially the troop builders, and send them out in mass quantities.
On a side note, I would love to see one of the troopers come out with the Ferret, along the lines of what they did with Baroness and Breaker |

Sounds pretty fictitious to me.
Yes, these are mostly fairly big names that I think Hasbro will get around to eventually, but it just screams of wishful thinking to imagine we'd get that many figures, and that many DESIRED figures in one year. Croc Master and a crocodile is the fishiest to me. That would be a lot of tooling for a C-level character. And released before a proper Storm Shadow? |

I'm in this for Stalker, but I like most of the lineup. Surprised they'd release Dusty ahead of someone like Shipwreck, but I suppose that has to do with what figures they can re-use? Maybe V3; the sleeveless version with the beret and Sandstorm the coyote?

I hear what you're saying, but don't use a high sub count as an indicator as to whether or not the information you're hearing is right. There are plenty of people on YouTube with large channels who'll just say some straight up bullshit. Shout out to Jay C of Toynewsi.
Isn't there a COBRA trooper build in every wave? Well, I didn't imply that high sub count people are more credible. But with a low sub count I think it's fair to believe that a clout and sub gaining motive would also be in play. Until proven otherwise of course. Like with any leak you always take it with a grain of salt. Plans can literally change last minute. |
