I'm not quite following how I'm reading more into it exactly.
First, Hasbro said this...
Hints taken..those are excellent figure selections. Right now we don't have a new Endor Commando slotted into the lineup, but it's only a mater of time before we get to them.
That's not really mixing words on their part, considering what I bolded for clarity.
They're not coming out tomorrow, no. And they're not guaranteed because they're not given a hard timeline when they'll be out and that they're in production, etc... But, they're definitely looking at them as strong contenders, and they worded it that I think they're all but confirmed, which suits me. That's good news to me, and seems to back up what I said, which was this...
They're toying with us likely getting TWO new Endor Soldiers in the future? And one is the trenchcoated Sergeant/squad leader!? That friggin' rocks. And Vinty guys have to love the notion of the open-camo coat guy from the vintage line also on the to-do-list! He's seen best walking out behind Han from the Bunker when they all get caught.
I bolded it, for clarity, that I didn't claim these two as confirmed figures myself. But strong contenders is a good thing considering I think many people really didn't consider the Endor Trooper high on Hasbro's list because of having one of the more "current" sculpts already with the last figure they did. That they're strongly looking at two unique ones, including the vinty guy, is pretty sweet I think, and was better than the answer I was even hoping for!
Actually I figured the vintage figure is something they were not considering, or considered "covered" with the original Endor Trooper, more or less. They gave more of an answer than I even originally had hoped for.
