Updated a little bit as we find out new figures. I expect we'll have several more this weekend!

So then the final figure of the next wave will likely be a Cobra/Iron Grenadier/bad guy, and probably an individual character rather than an army builder.
Unless they do something totally different.
Of the obvious possibilities, I’d love to see original comic/MASS Device Baroness. She would be the “easy repaint” of the wave, like Grim Viper.

Huh. I would have thought Mole Rat 2 would be in the wave of figures they just showed and we'd have one more reveal for a Deluxe or Pet offering.

Right, I did too, and that may well be the case. The listing I have up there is the original format, but they could well change entirely, like how they mixed some of the figures this year. I forget the specifics, but night Viper was supposed to be in the sci-fi wave or something, and also the wave with Snake Eyes 4 was different originally too.
Agreed. At this point, any lady Cobra for me. Energon Chameleon, Raven, Munitia, Red Scream, any of those please.
But yeah, I'm not 100% certain on the order and if these groupings will end up being the true waves since it can be a little more fluid as they get deeper in.
Rumor is the next wave will consist of 5 figures. Big Lob, Hit & Run, Lifeline, Night-Viper, and Mole Rat v2. Supposedly, the line is switching to 5 figure waves next year. So Big Lob may be our next reveal. But the numbering would be a bit off from that list.

5 figure waves?

That is awesome if they do that! And screwing the numbers up doesn't seem to matter if you look at the listings from this year, they shifted figures around different waves already.
Saw a video (livestream?) from The Full Force Podcast and he is claiming that in 2026 standard retail waves are going up to 5 figures per wave.
I haven't seen this reported anywhere else, so take it with a grain of salt. However it would be a bit shocking if they did that as it would really put the squeeze on wallets having a fifth figure to scope out and pay for in every wave.
D'oh Ashtalon beat me to the punch.

I totally get why that could be a problem for some. I have never bought an entire wave so for me it just raises th possibility of another figure and may want and that's exciting! If you're buying every wave anyway then yeah that's a kick in the pants.

I don't know for certain but the numbering makes it seem like Mole Rat 2 is a regular release and not an exclusive.
Maybe since the first Mole Rat was a WM exclusive, they figured on changing the figure (deco and alternate head) and putting it out in the mainline. Maybe we'll see the same thing with other WM exclusives. Range-Viper repaint for instance. Big Ben.

Were the Cobra island figures exclusives? Some were done in sets or a few years later, but they eventually did all those characters in other ways as well.
Now I would love just ONE Haslab figure to be repurposed. Don't even care if it's one on my list, just opening that door is enough for me right now.

Cobra Island was the original Target exclusive.
