It sometimes seems uniqueness/cost of the mold factors in. And sometimes not. Exclusives seem to vary from all new, never released stuff (Serpentor is the best example) to really easy-to-do repaints (Tiger Force, Walmart Retro).

Certainly not Jinx, Slice or Dice, as they're too high profile to be exclusives. And the rest of Ninja Force is probably nobody anyone cares about.

I don't think of Slice or Dice as "high profile". They always seemed like generic and disposable characters. Maybe it's because of the gimmicky name. Why the f a ninja gonna where a fake Kendo helm? No sense it maketh.

WP has been consistently correct to this point, so I'm at the point where I take what he is saying with high confidence. I do wonder if a change in factories is what is causal for some of the quality issues we are seeing.

It's going to be humorous if it's an arctic-themed re-release of the Red Ninja.

Thanks

I've been saying mole rats are a completely new character to gi joe brand, not just new to classified for a while now.

In the valaverse thread I stated way before their announcement that steel brigade would be coming to the classified line and that's why bobby vala was pumping out all the different versions.

I aslo shared the Instagram post that said Chuckles and crimson 3 pack are the convention exclusives, I shared it because I already knew they were this years exclusivez not because I was spreading rumors.

Edit: Im not a leaker, but I do know things I shouldn't have knowledge of. But since I'm getting doubts from you, I'll say that artic BATs, a ninja, a diver and an army building 2 pack are the Amazon exclusives this year. And no, one artic figure does not equal a theme.

BTW, thanks for the info you?ve shared. Your explanation of how you come by it seems reasonable and logical enough (to me at the least). And considering that some of your earlier information has been proven correct, I don?t see why anyone would be dismissive of you. To each their own.

Jinx I doubt. But Slice and Dice, I can TOTALLY see being released that way. They aren't exactly A-listers. And I say this as someone who would be pretty happy for them to be released, too.

My gut would be a Joe this time, though. Maybe a repaint of commando or retro Snake Eyes to match his V3 or V4 version.

WP, you're passing the smell test in my book so I choose to believe you. I don't have any reason to doubt you I should say, so absent "receipts" (as the kids say nowadays) I believe you. And to echo Ted, thank you for the advanced peek at our x-mas presents. Personally I adore leaks. From reputable sources is preferred and is a huge plus, but I'll take what I can get.
