Once again, our member Jtprime17 is back with a new list of Retro Line and Classified Series figures.
For the Retro Line, we have a brand new vehicle along with a new figure. Also, Snake Eyes seems to be returning with a new codename.
An unknown Classified Series entry can also be found. Some speculate it to be the Fortnite Snake Eyes; judging by the ‘Deluxe’ branding of this nameless figure.
Interestingly, codenames for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins Classified Series Scarlett and Baroness has been renamed as Galaxy and Mars respectively.

Once again, fellow HISSTANK Boards Member Jtprime17 has unearthed the 4th wave of the G.I. Joe Retro Line at German retailer Idee Und Spiel (links taken down).

“Atlas” (code name)
Product number: F2726
“Leo” (code name)
Product number: F2727
“Meteor” (code name)
Product number: F2728
There is a likely chance that code name “Atlas” is a Cobra Trooper figure since the Classified wave identifies Cobra Infantry as ‘Atlas 2’,
