The short answer is yes it has been discussed. However it's not so black and white when it's been brought up.
It's a topic that's open for debate but look at Major Bludd clearly ARAH inspired but with tech upgrades. I don't think they ever said or are currently aiming to just do 2-ups of Modern era - ARAH designs. |

Interesting... Range Viper before Eel or Snow Serpent. Seems strange, considering Torpedo and Snow Job are incoming.

Thanks. I'm a fan of the Bludd design. I was a huge fan of the Pursuit of Cobra stuff and the modern takes on a lot of the characters. I haven't been as inspired by some of the recent Classified stuff they've shown off, like Dusty. I'm hoping for more Cobra Trooper style upgrades rather than the recent Cobra Officer. The officer is a great figure, but feels like a step back to me.
It's sort of the push and pull of modernization vs classic, I guess that is a constant dynamic. You can see that even between 25th Anniversary, then Rise of Cobra, the more radical designs of Pursuit of Cobra, then back to more classics of 30th Anniversary. ...... Range Viper for Classified though? Wow! He's been a Top Want (with a capital T) of mine. Now where is my Road Pig?! And ZANDAR? Seriously, Lenny...!?? ;) Oh yeah, I'm all for Shadow Tracker. Helix too. For anyone new to Joe collecting, here are reference pics:

If there’s talk of more celebrities in the line, convo has to start with CM Punk. I’d kill to have him in the mix, if not just to finally get a figure if his with his Joe tattoos actually present. In fact, if he was Joe-allied, maybe we could do a slash mark on his Cobra logo a la Mercer and Heavy Duty.

A lot of core characters are coming in 2023. It makes sense that they would bring in a few deep cuts to sprinkle through the line just to give it more legs, particularly as the ARAH designs seem to resonate, and global shipping (while far from good) may be improving. I want Eels and Snow Serpents as soon as possible, but HASBRO probably wants the line to run with their dawning realization of how popular it is.

If they are considering more vehicles, I have a few ideas: CLAW jetpack, ASP (perfect for the Hiss to tow), FANG copter. None of those feel too out there or expensive. A new version of the Serpent Armor maybe? The original design is a little laughable at this point, but a new version could be pretty cool. A Stinger or Water Moccasin might be a little big for retail, though one can hope.

Or Torch, Buzzer, Ripper, etc... One thing I don't get is we're getting variations of existing Classified Series figures first rather than giving us fresh figures. We're getting Marauders Barbecue, Retro Cardback Crimson Guard, Retro Cardback Storm Shadow, and ANOTHER Snake Eyes... I have a feeling that every future Retro Cardback will always be based on an existed Classified Series figure. Who wants to bet Marauders Spirit is going to be announced soon?

It could be a two pack.
