Look forward to them and hope an official announcement is imminent.

Hopefully Hasbro will rename the o-ring line something else.
Because Retro is Walmart "Exclusives" and o-rings are a totally different thing. It's gonna be hella confusing for us simple minded folks.

Retro Walmart exclusives are dead so new "Retro" news shouldn't even be posted in that thread.

We barely get any retro figures to begin with and now we get a variant of Lady Jaye who's still $13.99 at WM.com? Can't we get a few more main characters before we get variants of them?

Not on Pulse. They limit quantities and give Pulse members a early shot. I'd say Pulse is the best case scenario for this type of exclusive.

I'll pass on these, unless there are some killer accessories that I could use for ME figures.

True, but I'll take what I can get.

Intriguing... if these ARE O-ring figures and Zavvi gets these in like they did with some of the modern style figures, I'll totally pick at least one of 'em up for the novelty.

During the Joe panel at PulseCon, Emily noted in an aside that the Wal-Mart exclusive "Retro" line was on pause for now - I don't recall the specific language, but it was 100% guaranteed corporate speak for "don't be surprised if you never see it again."
With the Storm Shadow/Snake Eyes 2-pack on the horizon (three months out) and the Skystriker, it's pretty clear to me that this is the first wave of O-Ring rereleases, given all of the above along with two of the figures being ones we've seen in the Wal-Mart ME "Retro" line already. If the O-Rings are $13.99 MSRP, that will be *extremely* pleasant news, since I was ready to be forever grouchy about $19.99 MSRP to price gouge us collectors.

Same goes for me. Hasbro reverting to o-rings just saves me money for Joy Toy and Marauders who have been ruling the 1/18 scale roost.
