Tons of leaks have been spewing out of the Yo Joe June event. In package pictures have already surfaced of the Stinger with Driver and the Retro Cobra Trooper. Both look great. I just hope that these aren't expected to ship soon because most people can't pull 100's of dollars out of their wallets at Hasbro's whim to buy this stuff on such short notice.
The pictures have confirmed part of the leaked list so I take that to show the list is accurate.
Some are still unconfirmed rumors at this point:
Cobra Stinger with Driver
Retro Cobra Trooper
Storm Shadow V2
Retro Cobra Commander (with Hood apparently!)
"Once a Man" Cobra Commander
Alpine
Iron Grenadier
Iron Grenadier BAT
60th Halo Jumper
60th Marine Sniper (female)
Alpine
Falcon and Heartwrencher (Walmart exclusive, possibly Night Force associated)
Mad Marauders Sgt Slaughter
Mad Marauders Low Light & Sprit two pack (Pulse exclusive)
Blowtorch
Roadpig
Nemesis Immortal
Leatherneck
Dialtone
Zandar
Saw Viper
Frag Viper
Night Viper
Starduster (pulse Con Exclusive)
Raptor (SDCC Exclusive)

I’ve heard conflicting reports that the hooded cobra Commander is actually a v3 armored version. I’d personally rather have the hood but I’m sure we’ll see both eventually.
I wouldn’t expect any of those to be ‘in stock’ reveals but if we’re already getting packaged shots it might be a short preorder window.

Hasbro has confirmed this list almost completely… I’m interested in what new reveals they have and whatever digital renders come out that day

A short pre-order window is what I meant by ships soon and exactly what I'm afraid of.
Hasbro has put up new listings that are available for immediate fulfillment like the Giant Man & Wasp two pack so it's possible they might try something like that with the Stinger. I do have a strong feeling though that the Mad Marauders stuff will be immediately available for purchase/shipping since we've seen so many in package shots for a month or so now.
Hmm, yeah that could be. With potentially holding back some reveals to have something for ‘Yo Joe June’ does mean they could have some stuff ready to go or just about to.

I did manage to pick up a couple of Joes recently. Got both Mutt & Junkyard and Metalhead on sale at Target.
The muzzle/goggle combo is a pain to deal with on Mutt, it's not fitted well and likes to fall down all the time. Love the new helmet though and the face paint looks fantastic. Junkyard is great but, some of the joints are either too stiff or loose causing poseing issues.
Metalhead's head is not painted well. It's clean but looks like a cartoon character. Improved massively with some detail paint on the skin tone of his face. The rocket system is another pain, everything wants to move too easily because of loose joints in the backpack. I tried using it instead as a jet pack, fun look but again, everything moves too easily on the damn thing. Pulled off his thigh rocket pads and added a Crimson Viper holster, I'm far happier with the figure now.

Marine Sniper Female? WTF?
Could have made the Air Force pilot female but the Marine sniper?? Unbelievable.

Not knowing how likely that position would be held by a woman, the only complaint I would have of that figure without seeing it yet is that it sounds a bit like Shooter, who we just got last year.

IMHO, blank army builders to compete with Valaverse.
If Valaverse did not exist, I don't think we'd ever see any of these anniversary figures at all.
Looking forward to Alpine and Leatherneck, if those rumors are correct. Also I find the two pack of Lowlight and Spirit to be encouraging. They might be starting to see the flaws of waiting so long to make a Beachhead, Bludd, etc more accessible. I don't see V1 Spirit running out soon, but V1 Lowlight is one I can see quietly becoming harder to find.

Really looking forward to Zandar and RoadPig for my Dreadnoks.
Am hoping the next Haslab is Dreadnok related,but I'm sure if will be a Cobra Watercraft.
4 figs from that list get dropped as finished product tomorrow…all of which we didn’t get renders on

The Hasbro Power Days sales event going on, Pulse members get $35% off orders over $75, non members get 15% off over $75 with code POWER35
If there's any Pulse member that's planning on getting stuff through the sale, I'm interested in getting a Tripwire but nothing else, so let me know through a DM if a Tripwire can be added to your order for me, Thanks!

I like that they even list that Storm Shadow as a Joe. All look good. IG Destro can’t be far behind now.

V2 Storm Shadow was one of my favorites and I'm happy they're keeping him as a Joe, but he'll always be Cobra in my sandbox.
One of the few 3. 3/4 Joes I still own from my childhood, broken near falling off thumb, crotch and all.
I like that they corrected the error of the original figure by giving him TWO sets of wolverine claws!

For me it was v2 Cobra Commander. The hooded head is what I grew up playing with him having so the chrome dome mask has always been kind of mysterious alternative look to him. Of course knew of the look but I don’t think I had a figure of it until the 25th anniversary revival. I really have a hard time picking a ‘favorite’ between the two to this day.
They went all out with the photo shoot!
