It’s interesting to see how we all have different preferences in what gets updated. For the most part I prefer original colors and designs but there are exceptions. I like the fact that they toned down the color on SAW Viper which was his worst feature, and there are some Joes like Spearhead who I hope do not look exactly like the original figures. I hope he has more tan and brown like the card art and that they do away with the horrible orange. Sometimes I love the bright colors as seen on Airtight, Alley Viper, HEAT Viper, Psyche Out and the goofier designs as noted with Raptor, Crystal Ball, Globulus and Nemesis, but there are some designs like Laser Viper for instance that could use a little makeover. He’s the least interesting of the Vipers and one I hope to see improved upon. I don’t mind the colors on Frag Viper but the skintight suit needs an upgrade. The same goes for Laser Viper.

Static Line

Those are some deep cuts but I think Repeater, Iceberg, Hardball, Red Dog, Big Lob and Stretcher have good chances. Getting some characters from Sky Patrol and BF 2000 would be highly welcome too.

I already thought about super7?s ultimates but they are just tall not lumbering

Well we can hope in the short term is Roadblock body for some Cobra character in the future I guess.

I don't think it is unreasonable to expect Hardball or Stretcher to be made, both had a certain amount of visibility to them.

I start to worry a little bit about Salvo or Ambush being a bit further down their to do list though.

I think they have told us enough times "nothing is off the table". That is why I am being quite serious about Hannibal when I mention him.

I wouldn't say I "expect" them to make a Paraviper or a Data Viper, but I can also see how they'd be a very good choice for the line if they did make them.. as it would be really weird to not have the Cobra Equivalent of something represented via Gi Joe.

I guess where hope moves past expectation is with things like an Astronaut EVA pack.

I can see us getting Big Lob, Iceberg, Burn Out, and Repeater. Cobra Officer was already basically Clay Moore.

People seem to love to army build. They will make as many army builders as possible as they will sell a lot of them

Haha. I WISH I bought a Ghost.

I'm out of room due to some other stuff but I got a new shelving unit JUST for Classified.

We're at the point where you can realistically have a room dedicated to Classified

Another brand but it's been reported Target and Walmart specifically have asked for deluxe priced items for Star Wars. So I imagine it's the same.
