Yep. 100% true.
What do you want for "proof"? Do you not understand how "leaks" work? You should by now.

Yeah, Emily & Lenny confirmed he would be on a retro card and without a number like the other retro figures so far.

What 4 figures does everything think will be the next in line for Retro Cardback? My guesses are Duke, Cobra Commander, Scarlett, and Cobra Trooper. Crimson Guard and Zartan were odd picks with Wave 2.

There are no more confirmed, but Emily implied heavily they might be back. Hasbro's shift on what could and what couldn't get window/carded packaging seemed to take the Joe team by surprise.
I'm not saying there is a guarantee Retro will return, but there is a chance.

I also think there's a decent chance we could get something different from the repaint/minor retooling of the existing retros. It would be nice to relaunch the blister carded figures with some looks that are more in line with the current Classified aesthetic. Duke, Cobra Commander, Scarlett, and one more would be solid. Personally I do think we need another Baroness. Or if they wanted to stick to a repaint for one the Stinger Driver would be cool. |

It would be nice if they got the same heavy cardstock as the Marvel retro figures and not this flimsy stuff that barely even qualifies as cardboard.

The problem is that they would probably redo the head sculpt and I think that can only get worse.

OMG, yes! I ordered a Marvel Legends Series Scarlet Witch (Cardback) and it's quadruple the thickness compared to the G.I. Joe ones...

Here's the quote from Emily I posted last month in regards to Retro eventually returning.
HASBRO - "As you've heard, Hasbro has a goal to eliminate virtually all plastic from new and single use product packaging by the end of 2022. This comes with some exciting, new changes and as part of the shift away from window boxes, you'll see highly-detailed artwork and exciting new imagery on each package. But I think that you'll be happy to hear that our goal does NOT include packaging for fan collectible products like our 3.75" action figures, because we recognize packaging is part of the product experience and typically remains intact for fans' displays and collections. This includes the G.I. Joe Retro lines. Hasbro, with the support of its collaborators, is committed to doing what's right for the future of the planet and we are looking forward to having our fans along for the journey." EMILY - "So, we do not comment on future products that are coming out. HOWEVER, based on that information you can at least infer that it may be possible for future products. What I can tell you is that this news came out too late to impact any of our 2023 products that we had been making. And so we were too far along in packaging and planning to be able to kind of pivot/shift things around. So, IF we continue on with that kind of retro blister packaging, you will start to see that come back in 2024."
