From Toy News International:
We first told you about these G.I. Joe Retro figure listings that showed up at Walmart last month. While we still have no specific information on what exactly these are, the general thought is that they will be some type of tribute 3 3/4" action figure line sold exclusively at Walmart stores. The $12.93 price lends itself to these being in the 3 3/4" scale, and the word "Retro" brings thoughts of the classic 80's products. Also note two listings are for vehicles. A Retro H.I.S.S. Tank vehicle with a $26.82 price and Awe Striker with a $26.82 price.
While we still don't have any specific information or confirmation for what exactly these figures are, we do have thanks to Jtprime17 the Walmart SKU#'s and direct links to each figure on the Walmart website for you to keep track of. Note the listings use the same type of codenames as we have seen used with the 6" Classified figures as opposed to the actual character names.
GIJ RETRO FIGURE MANTIS SKU# 513900390
GIJ RETRO FIGURE DARKLING SKU# 233031189
GIJ RETRO FIGURE SCORPION SKU# 634866260
GIJ RETRO FIGURES TARANTULA SKU# 606601997
GIJ-RETRO-FIGURE-MAYFLY SKU:
GIJ RETRO VEHICLE COBRA H.I.S.S. SKU# 388022731
GIJ RETRO VEHICLE AWE STRIKER SKU# 926584486
If we match up the codenames used with these Retro figures and the ones used originally with the wave one 6" Classified figures we now know about, we can speculate that Darkling is Destro, Trantula is Snake-Eyes and Mayfly is Roadblock.
Of course none of this is confirmed and we will have to wait and see what is what when Hasbro decides to officially announce them.
