This is pure speculation, but based on what we have seen so far with other retro lines, Walmart has transformers retro, vintage sculpts and packaging. They have Star Wars retro. Vintage sculpts and packaging. They now have The Real Ghostbusters retro. Vintage sculpts and packaging (I think as I never collected these).
The retro trend has been all vintage sculpts and packaging. I would be shocked if the G.I. Joe retro is any different. In the case of Star Wars, they have “recasted” some of the parts. If I was a betting man this will have 4-6 figures. Duke Snake Eyes Storm Shadow Roadblock Scarlett Cobra Commander |

That is actually not accurate. The only Hasbro line officially called Retro with recasted figures is Star Wars. Ghostbusters is called Classic. There is also a Retro Marvel Legends line that is modern Legend style figures only on Retro cards. You could be right that we get o-rings recast, but there is no Hasbro Retro pattern. Edit: I’m actually kinda hoping it is oring, but will take any kind of 3.75 action figure.
It could go either way, but we won't know till next Friday or whenever Hasbro announces them. |

Marvel Legends is an example of why this may not be the case, but they really are just 6” versions using the packaging designs of the old 4”. They are also not exclusives. I wouldn’t expect that based on the price alone for the G.I. joe line. Maybe eventually we will see that for exclusives. None of us will know until we see some samples. |

Honestly, I think the only reason to believe these will be anything other than o-rings is the cost of o-rings and the non plastic parts, especially since some things would have to be retooled.

Yup! Been in the works for a while now. I'm sure we'll see some pics/previews after the Joefest in Augusta, GA. John has said it should launch later this year or early next year.

I always wondered if the T bar and o-ring could be replaced by one piece of either rubber or soft plastic.
