UPDATED Stiletto and 18 others at Toys R Us in November

A few months back there was a fan vote for the Kindle World fan fiction created original characters. The Stiletto character won and now we have an update on her figure's progress along with a sculpt of her all new head. But more importantly is word that she will be acailable at Toys R Us in November. Now will it just be her as an exclusive or will there be other figures in a line up she will be a part of? I guess we'll find out next month from Joe Con.

UPDATED: Goldbug pointed out the Hasbro Pulse crossword puzzle to solve the remaining slots. Some places have it figured out already...sort of. The problem is that without clues there are a lot of potential answers that could work. So let's see if we can figure it out too.

2016 G.I. JOE LINEUP ALMOST REVEALED

Fans Challenged With Hintless Crossword Puzzle

Hasbro is gearing up for the 2016 G.I. Joe series, and Hasbro Pulse is excited to host an intriguing peek at the first brand-endorsed look at the entire line. 2016 will kick off with an exclusive set (available at San Diego Comic Con) and then a series available exclusively at Toys R Us and Entertainment Earth. The eighteen figures slated for 2016 are all arranged in the crossword puzzle below, including the Kindle Worlds Fan Choice figure Stiletto – the only character previously announced in this year’s lineup. The rest of the puzzle is up to the fans to fill in, and NONE of the names have been given any clues or hints.

We realize that offering up a crossword puzzle with zero name hints is pretty rough, but we’re certain that even obscure hints would get sniffed out quickly by our diehard Joe collectors. Instead, fans have a chance to collaborate and discuss before the correct puzzle is revealed this year at the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Convention in Loveland, Colorado. Come to the Hasbro Brand Panel on Saturday, June 18th to see the puzzle revealed and also get your first peek at the G.I. Joe prototype figures for 2016!

The fact that it's also available online at Entertainment Earth is interesting. As is the November date. Both of those lead me to believe it's more of a shared exclusive rather than the beginning of a relaunch.

But, TRU having 1 figure on the shelves would be odd, too.....

TRU carries plenty of one-figure lines, just not any made by Hasbro.

And gosh, thanks for the great pic, Hasbro:

Last November the G.I. Joe fans voted through the Hasbro Pulse to choose a brand-new figure for the 2016 lineup based on three eligible characters from the fan-created stories available on Kindle Worlds.

looks like we will be getting another TRU line

That's the early mock-up, there's an actual new head, and the arms are gonna be changed and a scarf added.

Still going to rather tall for a Thai. But whatever.

It'd be nice if this happened.

I'll believe it when I see it in the stores.

They'll probably do another 50th style wave. Anything from the concept cases that hasn't been released yet like the gung ho we got?

johnwayne · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2016 5:32 am

Maybe some 30th re releases of guys like Lifeline and SciFi or Law would be nice too.

The 30th-style Sci-Fi figure was one of the more impressive in my opinion. If they did a re-release, maybe in a new color, I might be interested in it -- if it was an interesting color. Sci-Fi should be brightly colored. I don't think I'd buy a dark gray Sci-Fi.

They should look at eBay and any figures from POC or the 30th line going for $25 or more should just be rereleased.

I'd kill to get all versions of my fave Joe, although the only one that would require new coloring is that pink and yellow abomination. I'm thinking I might be able to get a good custom of that version from one of the Hell Screamerz, tho.

How about a white with blue trim version of the v1 outfit to riff the v3 figure?

If they go the 2-pack route again, Sci-Fi could be re-released alongside the Concept Case Laser Viper. Other ideas:

- Airtight vs Toxo-Viper
- Lifeline vs Scalpel or Medi-Viper

I would definitely pick more of most 30th figures if they were re-released or recolored.

Hey Hasbro... its been a while. You've made a lot of stupid mistakes, and I... haven't always been faithful.

But all will be forgiven if you could find it within yourself to release a repaint of your new Gung-Ho in olive drab tiger stripe camo! Guaranteed sell-out. Whaddaya say?

I'm holding out for Zombie CC and those insanity ninjas. I really want a ton of those skull-headed Ghost Ninjas.
