It’s been a while since we’ve seen anything from G.I. Joe Resolute, but that hasn’t stopped fans from craving more! Mike Bear, artist for the World War III/America’s Elite storyline from the Devil’s Due Press run of G.I. Joe, has updated his Deviantart page with all new artwork for the following Resolute characters:
- Duke
- Zartan
- Firefly

Are these are actual production samples, or what?
Duke by *bear65 on deviantART
Zartan by *bear65 on deviantART
Firefly by *bear65 on deviantART
The artist who posted them listed them as "Art for GI Joe toy packages." - I wonder if this is a sign of upcoming Resolute figure releases?
tile_mcgillus says
Hope so. Most likely pretty damn good fanart. With that said, Fingers crossed for Resolute figures!

The actual artists from Resolute posted stuff on deviantART so that doesn't mean anything.
That being said.. I don't like them. I like Duke. Can't stand the expression on Zartan. Firefly is okay.
I don't think it's actual packaging. The poses, Zartan especially, wouldn't work too well with Hasbro's standard Joe car width and blister packs. Now if Zartan is revered, body on the left, then it could possibly work.

My gut tells me these are legit images for a multi-pack (or packs) of Resolute figures. The character selection looks spot-on too.
RAMPANT SPECULATION:
Cobra Pack: Destro, Baroness, Storm Shadow, Firefly, Zartan, "Alley Viper" and yes, probably a Cobra Commander repack.
Joe Pack: Siberia Duke, Scarlett, Repack Snake-Eyes, Flint, Gung-Ho, Roadblock, Tunnel Rat (or maybe Beachhead or Stalker instead).
That'd cover almost (but not quite) all the major speaking roles in Resolute, allowing Hasbro to basically claim they've made "all the major characters." The only ones that might be arguable would be Siberia Scarlett, Ripcord, Wild Bill, and Dial-Tone (who we probably won't get due to not having a very "actiony" outfit).

True. I hadn't thought about the artwork on the back of a 7-pack.

Commenting about cardart, has no relation to figures.
