Once again months go by before there's something new to talk about. (to be fair Hasbro usually has a big Yo Joe June but were pretty quiet this year)
Anyway: We're getting Pythona! Apparently she's going to be the fall convention exclusive. First offered at NYCC then one or two others before being put on Hasbro Pulse

Now we need Golobulus. Which I guess I can use to segue into a conversation starter: Who are you hoping to see revealed at SDCC/soon? I'm waiting on:
Lifeline
Mainframe
Firewall (probably never going to happen 😪 )
Interrogator
Zanya
Overlord
Ninja Force Scarlett
Cesspool
@lordofdestruction Looks like 2 on your list were revealed! I also managed to snag that Cold Slither 4 pack, which I'm shocked I was able to!

Yeah at first I was iffy on how Mainframe came out, but I think the problem was all the pics focused on his new head or showed him bare with all the accessories including his classic helmet off to the side. Then I saw a case shot of him fully decked out with the classic helmeted head and he looks good.
Lifeline's only named dropped so far but at least he's coming soon.
Also the panel had a sneak peak unpainted accessory hint that appears to be Golobulus' shoulder pad.
Wet Suit was another one I forgot to put on my list but he turned out pretty good too. I'd like to have Wild Bill and Wild Weasel but don't have the funds or space for the big vehicles. (Nor the desire really. I was always more into the figures and didn't collect many Joe vehicles)
@lordofdestruction I'm a figure guy too. Not interested in getting the vehicles, but I really want the classic drivers they come with. I pray they'll release Wild Bill on a retro card eventually...
Well I got the notice from Paypal that Hasbro Pulse has charged me for Slice and Dice but I haven't got the actual shipping notice yet.
Found a Frag Viper in store recently but otherwise it's been slow seeing any new releases. Either the new ones sell out quickly before I find them, or (more likely) the stores aren't putting out/ordering new ones until the last few peg warmers are gone.
Just a reminder/heads up: Pythona is available to purchase now on Hasbro Pulse.
Sheeh, the new pre-orders just went up today and I'm already having to jump around to get everyone I want because different ones are sold out on different sites. Got the Cobra La guard from BBTS and Overkill from Hasbro Pulse. Nobody seems to have Zanya up yet at all though.
Still waiting on them to make Firewall, Interrogator, and Golobulus. Pretty sure Golobulus will come eventually since they've done Nemesis Enforcer, Pythona, and now the Guard but at that pattern he might not show up till next year.
@lordofdestruction Golobulus has to come eventually... he will most certainly be a deluxe figure with both bulbous and snake-like lower half parts.

Was hard to find the sale page but the new 2-pack of Ninja Force Scarlett and T'Jabang is up for preorder It's a Target exclusive. Limited number available on Hasbro Plus but only for premium members

Kinda ironic that this pack it's the variant I want more. In the past I've passed on 2 packs with a character I'd like to have because I didn't want the variant (eg Mercer with another Sgt. Slaughter) but I've been wanting Ninja Force Scarlett and T'Jbang is okay -one I'd probably skip on his own but don't mind having to get a figure I wanted.
I'm kinda on the fence about the King Cobra Commander figure. They FINALLY made a hooded CC but $70 is steep just to get him with a huge throne and accessories I don't want/need. I don't wanna cave to FOMO only to have them later release plain hooded CC on retro card.
Psyche Out was name only revealed. I'm curious how he's going to be done. I'd heard he was going to be Nightforce version, but the picture shown was of his Super Sonic Fighters version card. I may be in the minority here but I'd actually like that version more. It's the one I had as a kid and I like the helmet design.
They also name revealed Mistress Armada. Now I'm not really interested in her, but it does raise my hopes that we could get Firewall. I was concerned that she might be off the table for license reasons with Devil's Due, but if they can make Mistress Armada then maybe Firewall is still possible.
