Well, it would certainly appear so, according to Ragi Foesmasher of HissTank.com.
Previews typically lists figures set for release a little ways in advance, and they report the following:
“For over twenty-five years, the G.I. Joe has been defending America and the cause of freedom from the evils of Cobra! Characters like Blowtorch, General Hawk, Steel Brigade Trooper, Cobra Trooper, Cobra Commander and the Jungle B.A.T. enter the fight for the fate of the world as these collectible 3.75″ figures! Blister card packaging.”
Uhhh… wha–?
It’s pretty unusual for Hasbro to be able to keep assortments like this under wraps right up until release, but kudos to them for doing it, if that’s what this is. What sort of format these figures will come in raises some questions as well…obviously they’ve all been released as Anniversary figures already (except for the Steel Brigade Trooper), so are these some sort of Pursuit of Cobra upgrade figures? Curious…
According to the poster, this edition of Previews will hit comic shops in two weeks. It appears “on Page 360 will be a listing for item code FEB111522. With a title of GI JOE AF ASST 201103. The picture is of Wave 4 and the shipping date is 4/27/2011.”
Guess we know what to look for at Toy Fair!

One of the masterminds behind G.I. Joe: Renegades and Transformers: Prime has signed a development deal with Hasbro Studios in a move that will keep him closely tied to Hasbro properties, and is hopefully a sign that they want to continue building upon the excellent foundations of Renegades and Prime both.
The information comes from The Wrap. Kline has been working in animation for a long time, working on some great series including Men in Black, Jackie Chan Adventures, and Starship Troopers: Roughnecks.

The Canadian JoeCon folks have produced some awesome product over the years, and the recent Hailstorm was one of my favorites. I love the Firebat, and getting that great vehicle into the JoeCanuck universe was awesome.
A lot of folks also have a huge crush on the HATE tank as well, which is a version of the HISS done in Chrome reflective armor. Well, the HATE now has a partner! Selling exclusively on eBay, the JoeCanuck guys have produced a special limited edition “Chrome Hailstorm” vehicle!
This thing is sure to be a hot seller, so get your bids in early and often. Check it out right here.
