I'd say unless they've already cut tooling and/or the figures have already been produced and are on ships... they won't get produced. The regular "kid friendly" figures aren't selling any better than the Classified movie stuff (at least according to my local anecdotal evidence), so likely if there's a way for Hasbro to press pause they will. Frankly if I were Hasbro I'd be doing everything in my power to reverse course on anything Snake eyes movie- fake swords, kid friendly action feature stuff, etc. It's all on behalf of a movie that wasn't even as warmly received as the much maligned Rise of Cobra.

The figures are okay for the price point, and the Night Creepers look great. I hope they get finished and shipped.

Got our Pulsecon promo box, including Zartan.
I know Zartan's been out a bit, but I've stayed away from pics and discussion. I like to treat my figs like movies, spoilers, etc. So, Zartan's color change is pretty cool, was a nice surprise! Hasbro Pulsecon 2021 This Weekend – Quick Look at Zartan and More! |

Great looking figure. Love that they actually decided to add the color changing feature. Do any of their other lines have something special like this? Seems like Joe is getting the special treatment it deserves.

I mean, Transformers, Marvel, got two super hype and big Haslab offerings, and Star Wars is getting a second one soon. Joe just got a guy who turns into a Smurf.

I'm talking about individual special figures like Zartan (not BAFs though). |

Yeah it's one of those instances where letting some IP "theft" go is beneficial. Hasbro is never gonna touch Red Shadows stuff, but it shows that there is an appetite for 6 inch vehicles. Curious if they might go the route of having bigger vehicles compatible with multiple scales. Maybe do a hiss tank that can be piloted by one Classified figure or multiple 3.75 figures. I'm sure most wouldn't complain about a big hiss tank
