Zanya: Top ten want. Don't need the vehicle but sure why not.
Ninja Zartan: Absolutely detested this figure as a kid, but as always, Classified knows how to make the weirdest stuff from ARAH look fun.

The vehicle's not you — it's for Zartan! Speaking of which, I too hated Ninja Zartan but while this is basically an upsized version of the '90s figure, making those pants non-neon really makes me like him a lot more.

He'll never be a ninja in my world but looking over this Classified version, he'll fit in better with the other Dreadnoks than the OG hooded/armored version, for me anyway.

I think it could be a poncho with Wild Bill. There's no other Western-themed Joe character I could think of. Unless we're getting a weird Snake Eyes variant.
 
Air Tight I'll definitely be getting. But I'll be curious what this *probable* Wild Bill looks like. I never got the helicopter, but would definitely love a Wild Bill on the shelf. I didn't realize how different his cartoon looks really was with the tucked in boots and such. I may just end up ponying up and trying to buy a Haslab version if I really prefer his vintage toy look that much more.
 
Well these are absolutely fantastic.
Obviously Overkill is my favorite, and there is a wonderful body-horror touch . . . there’s a human eye peeking out of the right socket.

While I will assume it is Wild Bill for now, I could see this being a new character as was mentioned previously (1 new Joe and 1 new Cobra for 2026). Definitely a poncho or duster type overlay in the image. Is it a different hat as well? It doesn't quite line up with the Dragon Fly Wild Bill hat in shape, but I guess it could be just the shadowing making it look different to me.

As for the rest:

Ninja Force Zartan: I'll be picking him up, but he was after my time and I don't have a great attachment to him. Looks good and accurate. If he wasn't an exclusive I would wait for a sale to pick him up.

Overkill: Probably my least favourite of the reveals (even the silhouette, hah!). Again Overkill was after my time and I don't have much attachment to him. Plus I am not really a fan of the design. Still I am pretty much all in on Classified so I'll pick him up but he will definitely be a "wait for sale/clearance" because I doubt he'll sell well.

Hydro Viper: Another after my time character. However I really like the design and this is a great representation of that design so I'll be picking him up fairly quickly.

Airtight: YES! Another character from my time that can be checked off the list. Looks good if a bit light on the accessories.

Taurus & Red Dog: Looking good, though Taurus looks a bit small/short for what I expect of the Renegades. Also are they teasing us further with that football? C'mon where's the Fridge??? (I know Red Dog was a former pro player, just wish-joking).

Zanya w/Swamp Skier: She looks great, just as I expected. However I love the extras, well not the glasses/goggles because of the track record with those accessories in Classified. The leather helmet looks interesting, but that mask.........OH YEAH!!! Nothing like making her an army builder with a simple extra head/mask. The Swamp Skier looks great, but I was expecting the original colours. Still it looks great and an original colour scheme release will probably come later down the road.

Now will they tease anything else today? Probably not I know.
 
I'm in on all of these, but only had the OG versions of the four Joes as a kid.

All of the Cobras/villains were after my time (except for the Swamp Skier itself).

I was a pretty big Renegades fan as a kid, so I'm glad we get to complete the team, BUT ... Taurus needs to be much bigger. I was hoping they'd use Road Pig's body for him. I always imaged him as a beast.
 
My only gripe about Zanya, which isn't even a problem for me, but the Dreadnoks all come with some kinds unique weapon, except Zartan I guess. But she just has stuff from other people.
