Here's a thought. Didn't Hasbro already announce they'd be doing a 6" kid's toy line based on the movie, a toy line with vehicles? Hasbro has been known to occasionally featurecharacters who while not actually in the film, were"inspired" by it in these kiddie lines. Maybe what we're seeing are figures from that kiddie line?
Since Snake Eyes is going to be a solo film. Then the only figures I see making it in are Snake eyes, Storm Shadow, his ninjas and maybe a cameo of the other joes like maybe Scarlett, and a cameo of the other cobras like probably Cobra commander
haha love how some people are going nuts on the pricing.. ye do realize other countries use the $ too and they don't hold the same value as the USD $ so what could be $200 in one country could only be $100 in the US . try collecting figures in Europe ! Marvel legends over here run in at 30 that is $33USD basic figure which is way more then what ye in the US had been paying before (did see some places like GS have jacked up the prices to $30) . in any case I will welcome more army builders the cobra trooper is a must. just wonder how many re-used parts it will have .

Interesting point of view...

No kidding, at first I thought "maybe they're in mexican pesos" but the prices areall over the place.

This is pure speculation, but with the way the Hollywood takes it's liberties with characters and their origins I'm willing to bet Beachhead is probably Snake Eyes' alter ego in some sort of origin story before he becomes Snake Eyestherefore involved in the new movie. Like I said, pure speculation.
