A few things out there:
A nice set of gallery shots posted by The Fighting 1:18:

Included are a Cobra Shock Trooper, Rocket Launcher toting Duke and ANOTHER Snake-Eyes (4 waves of POC, 3 versions of Snakes - that seems about normal....).
They also have shots of the dios:

Action Figure Pics has posted a summary of the GIJoe panel:

This part I find hard to beleive:
"Heard on the floor: I’m not sure how big of a grain of salt to take with this, but the buzz on the show floor is that Hasbro had planned to also talk about the toy line for Renegades at the panel, but that executives put the kibosh on it in the moments leading up to the panel. The rumored reason – because there’s a lot of uncertainty with regards to Joe toys after the performance of the Rise of Cobra figures. I think we’re talking about a boulder-sized grain of salt here."
Although Hasbro now has a TV channel, the fact that their bread and butter is toy manufacturing, so I would expect this rumour to be false. Then again, if they keep putting stuff out like POC, it's all good.

One of the Hasbro Q&A's did state that there were no immediate plans for the Renegade figures because they were focusing on the POC line for now but they did intend to diversify the brand much like Star Wars

I really like that snake eyes with the sweater type torso, looks like the ddp version.
