It's why I only bought 2 CGs myself. I wanted 4, but I suspect that Hasbro will release one with a Fred face and removable helmet or something in a troop-builder pack next year... so my plan is 2 for now, but 2 Fred-face CGs in the future.

Normally I would agree, but so far with the Classified line there hasn't been much in the way of improvement when it comes to troop builders. The Viper 3 pack isn't really an improvement based on the colours, though the blast effects are a nice extra. The Cobra Island Trooper exclusive was better than the general release Infantry. They might be able to slightly improve on the BAT, but I don't see much need there, and the Alley Viper is damn near perfect. The Red Ninja is ok, and the 2 pack is nice but not necessary.
So while there is a 100% chance of another CG down the line, I don't know that it will be, subjectively, better. An alternate head is nice (no helmet) but not something I personally care that much about in army builders. So for now I think I am good with army building the current CG and not worry about a future release. Maybe they'll do the Shadow Guard version as a later release.
