    My prediction for figures the rest of the year...

    Wave 13
    • Eternian Guard Infiltrator Snake
    • Snake Teela
    • Duplico
    • King Randor, 200X
    Wave 14
    • Serpant Claw Man-At-Arms
    • Sy-Klone
    • Sssquezz
    • Ruler of the Sun
    Deluxe 6
    • Skeletor, Dragon Blaster
    • Snake Face
    Deluxe 7
    • Hordak, Hurricane
    • Two-Bad
    Snake Men Action Figure 4 Pack
    • Lord Gr'Asp
    • Terroar
    • Snake Horde Trooper (x2?)
    • or ???
    I'm fairly certain that we'll see all of the Snakemen by the end of this year (waves 13 & 14 and deluxe 6) so other than Snake Face in Deluxe 6 the rest are interchangeable best guesses.

    I was also thinking the Snake Horde Troopers would make sense for that 4 pack. Maybe Slamurai could end up in the 4-pack, too?

    Thanks, it looked like he had regular packaging, but wasn't sure. I'll need to look into a good way to remove the plastic bubble without leaving sharp, jagged spikes...

    I'm holding out for a deluxe Extendar, but I feel this isn't his year.

    Yeah, I've been wondering where Slamurai would show up, and this is very possible. Which would suck for me, as I would only be interested in him. I'm trying to remember if we had a singles listing for him, or if he was just on a rumors list?

    No Extendar?

    We still need Kikto, Holographo, and Zap-Man to finish RotS. I don't think they'll drag that into another year.

    My picks, based on what I expect, not necessarily what I'd LIKE:

    Wave 13
    • Snake Trooper
    • Snake Teela
    • Duplico
    • King Randor, 200X
    Wave 14
    • Serpent Claw Man-At-Arms
    • Kikto
    • Terroar
    • Spikor
    Deluxe 6
    • Dragon Blaster Skeletor
    • Sssqueeze
    Snake Men Action Figure 4 Pack
    • Lord Gr'Asp
    • Toxoid
    • Snake Face
    • Vac Metal Snake Armor He-Man
    Online Retailers
    • Snake Infiltrator Palace Guard
    • Leo Skeletor with Screech
    Target Exclusive 3-Pack
    • Zap-Man
    • J-Hook Sun Man
    • Strettch Nek
    Walmart Spring Exclusive
    • Moss Man
    Walmart Fall Exclusive
    • Nightstalker

    Mattel Creations
    • Holographo with Real Hologram
    • Skeleton Warrior 2-Pack
    Vehicles
    • Point Dread with Talon Fighter
    Playsets
    • Snake Mountain with Lady Slither
    We typically only get two deluxe waves a year so I'm only expecting one more in 2023.

    Come on 200x Randor leak already! I'm eager to see him.
    Speaking of 200x, I hope that Serpent Claw MAA turns out to be just a regular 200x MAA with the equipment of Serpent Claw. I want to get a heavily armored, classic looking Duncan already. Not a fan the W1 figure and it's exposed back and the LOP one is forbiddingly expensive.

    I’m thinking it’s going to be like this. It’s the one showing up as Infiltrator Guard. Might be regular retail overseas but I think it will be sold like the previous guard here.

    Serpent Claw was shown above in 200X but the mini had him with purple and black so that’s probably what they went off.

    That show’s notorious for stopping leaks or spy pics. Jay might not even be allowed back in for talking about it but I didn’t really see media run with it today, they were focused on Hasbro stuff. There was a bunch of German fan sites there too but with the org being down, I don’t know where they might have posted stuff. They only talked about and posted about the mini game.

    Its a shame we probably wont see images. Especially because its a shame Jay is a bit vague with his details. You would expect him to be more comprehensive. Its unclear what he meant when he said MAA, was he talking about the Snake Eternia Guard, or is that a different figure and was he talking about Serpent Claw MAA. He wasnt clear. Also he didnt mention Duplico, who we assume was on display.

    totally. I hope Jay gets brave and tries to take some sneaky video footage today ;)

    Its totally personal preference. IMO not at all, I dont like why the styling clashes so distinctly.

    It's all a matter of preferences. I personally think he would look great with 200x inspired figures.

    Jay should’ve invested in those Raybans with the Facebook camera. He’s been silent so maybe they did beat him up when he went back in today.

    Planeteternia.de did finally post something about Mattel which they just got there today. Running through a translator they said Mattel has requested confidentiality and no photos were allowed until the products are officially unveiled. This show is a trade event. They could speak on a few points though. Masters will continue. Both the action figures and Mega line will continue on in brick & mortar retail (could be just Germany but I think it’s everywhere) so there’s no question of an alleged end coming. They said they are working on getting characters like Snout Spout and Leech over there so fans won’t get ripped on the secondary market. I guess they’ve never appeared yet. Hopefully this puts peoples minds at ease.

    I would be happy if he would just get it straight what the new figures actually are ;)
