So over on Hisstank they are reporting that artist Furio Tedeschi is working as a freelance production artist for their new toyline.
Obviously with a new movie in production a toyline was all but inevitable. However it is nice to have some hard evidence. Can't wait to see what they come up with. Hopefully the vehicles are a better offering than last two me.
Either way it will be great to see Joe on the shelves once again.

Ohh I news of a new toyline!! What a time to come back and check things out.
To be quite honest while I love seeing new toys I won't be getting any of them (maybe).

6 inch is on the way!!!!!!
So based on reporting from Hisstank we are getting a 6 inch line this year.
The good(?) news is that Walmart is carrying them in the States, so hopefully here as well. The bad news is that the price point is $19.87(US) meaning we can expect Star Wars Black Series pricing up here. So minimum $30, but maybe even $35 each. OUCH!!
Can't wait to see what they look like at Toyfair this year. I know I say to myself they will be too expensive, bit honestly I will cave on some for sure. As long as they are based on the ARAH style.

I'm happy to see Gijoe but I won't be getting them. bigger scale is not for me.
I would love to see some discussion here from those of you who are getting them. I'm not on any other site and don't intend to move to any other.
$30 a figure is WAY to high a price for me. The whole collecting of figures is getting too pricey, I don't know about the rest of you but my wage hasn't kept up.
Still if anyone spots them in Canada let me know. Always like to browse Toys R Us if they end up there.

I'm hoping they are actually $30 and not more. Especially given the current pricing at Walmart of the Star Wars Black Series.
From the first pics I like all 4. Snake Eyes is great. Roadblock is nice, but not a fan of the gold on his legs, or his sci-fi gun. Scarlett looks awesome, especially her face. Duke looks good, but conversely I don't like his head sculpt.
Overall it definitely looks like the line will take a more updated style, think fortnite/Overwatch. Hopefully it does well and they can introduce "classic" ARAH looks down the line.

I saw the pictures.
Snake Eyes looks good. I maybe one of the few but I would have preferred his commando version 1 helmet. Obviously the accessories included work good with the visor look but I much prefer my snake eyes as a soldier/commando first and ninja second.
Duke kind of reminds me of a blond David Boreanaz in the official release images. Looks pretty good otherwise except for the gun. I don't know. It looks like they're trying to mix classic figure look, Sunbow cartoon (laser weapons) and the live action movies into one figure and I just don't know how I feel about it....
I agree with your comments on Roadblock. Stupid gun. Guy looks mean and imposing. Still prefer the version 1 look but I get it.
Scarlett figure looks good however I'm not a fan of the card art (what is Reba McEntire doing on there!). The body armour on her is the only figure that I think the armour actually works well. The others I think would be better without the armour.
I wasn't that enamored with Scarlett's original look so I think I like this better. Nice head sculpt.
I agree a "classics" version with appropriate weapons and accessories would be better.

Jada Toys is going to be doing two different size classes of diecast vehicles!!!!!
The larger scale will start with a HISS and VAMP.
The smaller "Nano" scale will have 3 waves to start.
Wave 1-. HISS, VAMP (pic is MK1) but they showed MK2 & Snowcat
Wave 2- Mobat, Stinger and Skystriker
Wave 3- Night Raven, Silver Mirage motorcycle and Dragonfly.
Can't wait!!! Smaller scale means more room to display. Hopefully this line does well.
