Yo Joe June? I really wonder if it's going to be that special. Only a few weeks away. Would they really reveal even more Classified stuff when we have a list of 34 figures that have not yet shipped?
I tend to think Yo Joe June is going to be a massive reveal / re-launch of the O-Rings. Perhaps with some brand new sculpts, or even new characters. Maybe a vehicle or two. |

Given it's possible to have up to 22 unique Classified figures/sets preordered right now (with 8 announced but not able to be preordered yet) in a line with ~37 figures currently released, adding any more preorders literally create the opportunity to have as many figures preordered as in-hand, which is mind-boggling to think about. So I'm with you - I expect some ARAH news and releases (maybe a boxed set of ARAH cardbacks like the Star Wars retro set recently announced), maybe two Classified announcements (the last 2 Wal Mart cardbacks), and a few open preorders for the few announcements we know of that haven't been put up yet (Slaughter, Ninja/Kamakura, etc.). Realistically I expect zero *new* Classified news/releases beyond that. My pie in the sky hope is for a Serpentor with Air Chariot announcement. Either ARAH or Classified.

I think some of you might be overthinking Yo Joe June a little bit.
They will almost certainly announce more Classified figures during the month. If I had to guess, they will put the ones we know about up for preorder, show at least three more that will be available to preorder sometime during the month, and then show at least three digital renders that will be available later. In addition, I imagine they will reveal that Mindbender is the SDCC exclusive. The idea that the main driver of the G.I. Joe line will be absent from the month dedicated to G.I. Joe just because the preorder delivery dates are in mid to late 2023 is far fetched.

1) There's only been two O-Ring announcements this year (it was in March that the Duke/CC and Cobra O-Ring sets were announced, yeah), so there's certainly space to grow there. 2) The 40th anniversary is not of Joe, not of Classified, but of O-Ring, so it stands to reason they'd be emphasized (yeah, a tenuous but not-insubstantial argument, sure). 3) Surely we're reaching a tipping point where adding more Classified pre-orders will just lead not to excitement, but greater consumer malaise, yeah? And we're probably close to that point? 4) Given the predominately-Classified focus of the first two so far, it just seems probable that the emphasis will be on O-Ring/ARAH, yeah? Maybe even Hiya toys? I don't know if I see anyone saying "no new Classified news," but that it will largely be ARAH news. The opposite ratio of the March event, in short. EDIT: Jeez, I need to lay off the rhetorical "yeah?"

Sooooooo...yes. Personally, I'm close to that point, but I could be moved away from it depending on timing, I suppose. |
