Seen news of this and found the set of five six inch figures up for preorder at BBTS https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/118286
might want to dr that link, been a while

There are multiple shots there of the first 3 figures revealed, Duke,Scarlett, and Roadblock, with two more in the wave to still be revealed before the projected release date of this summer.
  Look cool to me thanks to BBTS for the shot

I was clamoring for 6" GI Joes like five years ago, now I'm like meh. I know I can be fickle sometimes. I'm sure the first secret figure is Snake Eyes, but the second I have no idea, hopefully Storm Shadow, I always liked him. The bad guys will be cool, definitely  Firefly Cobra commander and Destro. Maybe I'll get more excited for the less popular characters that I like, like Gung Ho, Bazooka, shipwreck, Spirit ironknife, lady Jaye. Those would be Awesome.

Indeed, too large to see many of the over abundance of cool joe vehicles that we have seen produced in this larger scale.
I think they were pushing a six inch snake already for the snake eyes movie line but I’m not sure
Got this shot of a con packed exclusive, I think over at hisstank

[JDeck]

Cool. I didn't realize they were making more Joe movies. I think they can make better movies than the last two. Rise of Cobra was not good, and retaliation was cool, but the killed almost all the Joe's in the beginning of the movie. Wtf?!.

The thing I like about GI JOEs are the accessories. The snake eyes is awesome but it's an sdcc exclusive. I'm afraid we might not get a lot of accessories in the main line. 50th anniversary Snowjob, Storm Shadow and croc master had awesome accessories. I hope that trend continues into the 6" line.

Saw these new Joes revealed during the JOE Panel this weekend. Frankly, I was a little underwhelmed. I had hoped the new movie would see them release some 3.75" figures. I am sure they will. Still it was nice to see new JOES period. A few of em like Roadblock and Scarlett seem like they would make ideal Mando customs.

I'm with you Tamer, I was hoping they would be released 3.75" scale as well

[Clonehead]

Here is a video of a convention exclusive Snake Eyes figure.
Shawn, do you remember how we used to complain about the 3 3/4 scale Joes having better articulation and accessories than the Vintage Collection figures had? That’s what this guy is like, holy cow can he be posed.

Yeah, this is their new six inch line that looks great. And before I say this I do like six inch, but man I want to see some parity with their 3.75 inch line too. I don't know why we can't get a new wave of each. Hasbro seems to be placing their main emphasis on six inch figures now. Guess the money crunchers are telling them this is what is making them the deniro.

Had to get that video on the front pages. Man that guy looks cool. Huge package.

Cool stuff, indeed! I’m glad for all Joe fans and 6 inch collectors out there. Hasbro must feel as if they re-invented the wheel. So let’s hope it runs hot so that it makes a limited run (maybe a couple Exclusive waves) possible in 3.75”, too! On Comic Con and ToyFair Hasbro gave me the feeling that The Black Series is running strong and is therefore making The Vintage Collection still possible. Like a luxury hobby. Don’t know if that’s not a little exaggerated. But hey, 6 inch fans are happy since 6” Star Wars figures are a thing now and TVC is back. I rather have few stuff in TVC than nothing at all. Let’s see what the future holds for 3 3/4” Joe...

[Clonehead]

I believe one of the mystery figures of wave 1 will be Gung Ho
I’ll check on this later, I believe there was a graphic that surfaced with him in the background somewhere.

Can't wait for these. Should've been out for like Decades since they have flirted with the scale before.

I honestly just want them for the fodder. Any REALLY cool ones I'd buy (since because of TBS I have many 6" scale now 😌) but I really want this line to succeed... Because I bought some of the OVERWATCH figures and thought they were terrible and should've just been JOE. Even saw them @ 5below today! Had to pass since the figures/parts are all too cartoon scaled.

[Tamer]

I cannot wait to see a few of em turned into some great Mandos. They just seem so built for that already.

[Clonehead]

Some six inch Destro shots have surfaced.
  I think there is some discontent from some collectors about the designs of the other figures we have seen. This Destro is a more classic look that they seem to appreciate so far. I wonder if that briefcase is full of money?
I do believe he is up for pre order. I need to find and remember how to doctor a link:

Entertainment Earth Link to Order







Thanks to hisstank for the shots

Looks cool! The bad guys are going to be the best ones. I like the silver paint, I know everyone wants vac plate but I think in some cases the paint is better, and Hasbro is making better metallic paints. With vac plating you loose a lot of detail, and this head sculpt looks good.  I'd get the Destro over the others. I don't mind the reimagination, but they're just not my favorite characters. The only snake eyes version I really like is the commando, I never understood the visor thing he wore, looks like Geordie Laforge. Is he blind or something? But the goggles were cool.

[Tamer]

Very nice. Clint I took the liberty of adding a few more images and a link; including whats in the box. Thanks for making us aware of it. This one looks pretty good. I bet it sells out.
