Wait, Medix IS Walgreens-exclusive? Does that make him leaking that early a new record for them?
Indifferent on Windsweeper, undecided on Antagony (also her releasing here messes up my theory for that mystery Walmart capsule), and I can't make a decision based off just the description of "G1 Headmaster". Maybe people will stop talking about Selects dying now though!

I think it was Nightbeat and Hosehead at retail and Siren in Selects and I believe there was mention of Goshooter as well.
Just checked and Nemesis Primal did a follow in March 2022:
Nemesis Primal wrote:The initial Legacy rumors also said we'd be getting Leader Straxus, Deluxe Nightbeat, Deluxe Hosehead, and Selects Deluxe Siren, and leakers have been hinting/indicating that those figures are still planned and just got pushed further down the pipeline, so there's that late G1 you ordered.
So a late 2023 Selects Siren followed by the other two in 2024 is still a possibility.

Few things to remember about this:
-Yes, rumors and listings of Minerva came well after the rumors for rest of the Headmaster JRs, leading us to all assume she'd be a Nightbeat retool when her listing showed up and then be confused when no Nightbeat appeared in the store leaks
-The initial rumors of the Headmaster Jrs specified that the Selects Siren would be a retool of
Nightbeat (much to the chagrin of the accuracy-valuing portion of the community at the time), so if Siren is that mystery listing then either it'd be the first time a Selects figure preceded the original mold, or Siren is no longer based off of that mold
-Goshooter was never at any point rumored like those others, just speculated, because people went "Siren-from-Nightbeat doesn't make sense, maybe there's a retail Goshooter that'll actually be the basis for it"
