Super Trooper with Rapid Fire as the repaint. Ninja 7 pack and zombie 7 pack as etailer exclusives
Renegades coyote as the vehicle.
Mostly concept vault tie ins for SDCC. There's a flyer floating on Hisstank showing this info with the concept figure card art showing them behind bars with a sillouette image of Kwinn (in snow gear?) saying "paroled".

You gotta post links, man.

Not sure what all this means:




Via Colt Blue on HT, not sure where he got the images from...

Heat viper, laser viper, crimson guard immortal, a Scrap Iron (renegades), zartan in classic, Hiss driver, eel, clutch,night wing, echo faction trooper.

Since they showed data viper and Kwinn being "paroled". I wonder if these figs are apart of some event where they get selected to be put into other waves.

Are those official flyers? I see the "Joe: Declassified" logo in the corner. Is this a wish list, or some sort of fan wank?

Because Super Trooper is a real "what the fuck" out of left field.

I think the card art for all of those is what's holding me back from believing its a forgery. That's a lot of art for thumbnails.

Plus this would be a dick move on their part to decline releasing any info but then having someone leak the information after they get out of dodge. But it's enough to create the publicity they think they need when they really don't.

Hopefully those reach decent, non scalper hands. (Echo Faction, Zartan, and Scrap Iron!)

Also, apparently wave 2 of the Dollar General is being sent out to, well DG. I guess Hasbro is possibly getting their shit together?

And honestly, I like that zombie pack.

I imagine the Zombie pack is going to be like the cobra island defense pack. You're going to have to buy both in order to get that pack at a reasonable price.

Hah, I actually want more this time around, I think. I gotta go over the list again, but I may bite.

The fucking registration for FSS 2.0 is going to start and end before the 13th figure is announced, if my math on the timing is right. That's a big decider for me if I got the 2nd FSS in duplicate.

Here's my feelings on it:
Skullbuster - Don't care
Cesspool - Interesting, Not Sure
Tollbooth - Must Have
Bombadier - Don't care
Dragonsky - Must Have
Falcon (Night Force, new parts) - Don't care
Shipwreck (Tiger Force) - Don't care
Airtight (Tiger Force) - Don't care
Big Bear - Must Have
Keel Haul - Must Have
Desert Scorpion - Must Have (if done right)
Widescope - Interesting, depends on how it's done

That's over 50% as "Must Haves" or better. The sub-group Falcon, Shipwreck, and Airtight are a bit disappointing wastes of slots, if you ask me. Unless they do Tiger Force in full as a set, they don't need to waste anymore spots on those.

Well, that Ninja pack..... I guess could be useful.... to sell over at the Shittank. Cause they army build!


And I'd love to see NF Falcon.

Yeah, I can't believe how many were counting on that RoC SS red repaint until it was cancelled.

not sure about TF airtight but the TF Shippy is a very popular international figure... That's why they are doing him

I think that image I posted earlier is fan wank until further confirmation. I wouldn't put any thought to it unless it's confirmed. The red herring to me is the weird SDCC figures. The vehicle seems more plausible than D-List characters like those two.

There's about 4-5 Tiger Force figures I'd rather have than those.

They should do Tiger Force as a JoeCon set and get it over with, instead of trickling them out. Of course, they STILL didn't finish the Night Force guys, so it's not like that'd guarantee it done. Just make the Cobras the highlight of the set, and they'd sell just as many. Otherwise, I wouldn't want the TF team.

I'd rather them not waste expensive FSS slots with figures that work better as a set. That includes Night Force, Slaughter's Marauders, what have you, so long as they involve simply repainting a set. After that's done, I'd be okay with subsets so long as they were done well. But I'm sort of growing tired of all the Club's stuff, honestly, so I'm not sure how long they'll keep me onboard.

panel is over. no mention of IB
You surprised? They're going to dodge that just like they did showing the fucking thing before the deadline.
