Yo Joe June is underway! Last week on Instagram, Emily and Lenny revealed Shipwreck and Rock N' Roll being on deck.
This week, a HUGE load of reveals. I'll post a link to Hisstank (please don't read the comments) for images

Confirmation of Copperhead and Torpedo due in 2023 (they've yet to specify if any are retailer exclusive, FYI). Spring 2023 will see the wave allotments increase to 5 figures, and this will probably be the first wave to feature the "plastic free" packaging that has cropped up on everything else.
Falcon
Slaughters Marauders BBQ
Crimson BAT (reportedly the same shade as the CG and Twins)
Outback (classic deco)
Covergirl
I think it's a damn solid wave, only mitigated by my own budgetary and space concerns. Falcon is a HUGE want that's getting done.
Also due in spring 2023 is a new deluxe Snake Eyes with Timber. It's a full on repaint set with altered deco and reused accessories. Biggest notable element is the reuse of some of the accessories last seen with the 00 release of the character. It's not a...BAD set by any means. But it's clearly stuff many fans already have to some degree or another, and it remains to be seen if retailers are even going to carry this offering.
Images were shown of the new Sgt. Slaughter. Who looks AMAZING, with a wonderful range of accessories and even a little mini-figure (homaging his time as spokesman for the brand). Preorders can't get here soon enough.
Reveal of the Transformers collaboration Bumblebee and Stalker. Like with the last set, the Transformers side seems dictated by marketing (Beachcomber or Hound would have been FAR more logical) and the o-ring figure is another of the pre-85 flavor. Stalker is a great character (and is getting a FANTASTIC Classified release), but his original figure was pretty lackluster.
And orders went up for the o-ring Duke/Cobra commander set. The Sunbow love is dripping from this set, and I just couldn't resist on that grounds. A LOT of Sunbow inspired accessories, and I'm hoping this "Sunbow colors on original toys" trend continues.
