Hollow Men were mentioned as having Structure instead of Wounds, so it looks more and more like my speculation of them being combat remotes is spot on...

There's 3 different Spetsnaz available right now. I haven't seen a list of which ones will be in the repack.
We have the HMG and Sniper who are the Ambush Camo ones and the Boarding Shotgun which is AD.
If I had to guess? It's HMG+Sniper as the blister and the Boarding Shotgun will remain available by itself until we get the TAK Sectorial and a Rifle Spetsnaz.

Finally seeing a good painted shot of the Muyib, I really like it. It takes the old design, updates it with some modern aesthetics like the boots, but overall keeps the design the same.
If the scale isn't drastically different (and it shouldn't be, the Govads scaled exactly with the old Muyibs) then I'll be able to use both the new and old interchangeably. Double HRL and/or Spitfire and extra Rifles without having to have repeat models is great.
Ayyar Shock Marksman Rifle is what I wanted the first Ayyar to look like. Mean and aggressive.
Farzan is... there. Pose is basic, model is good. Nothing special, but it'll spend most of the game as a token anyway.
New Daylami are nice. What I thought was the LGL is a Light Shotgun which is super nice, giving you a second Panzerfaust model.
Nice starter, dragged down by the okay Farzan. Can't wait to get it.

I hope this means they're going to start releasing the SWC choices in pairs going forward.
Issuing repacks afterwards is irritating.
I.E.: I already have the plain nomad zero, but now want the zero hacker.
If i decide to get the one model i missed out on, i need to buy a redundant model as well.
Plz just release them in pairs from here on out.

Well, that Zero Hacker was available on it's own for over half a decade. In fact, if you still want it you shouldn't have any trouble finding it. Theres a few on ebay now. In general it would be nice to see more two model blisters, but the argument against that was so often people saying "but I ONLY want the Zero Hacker. Why do I also have to pay for the Zero w'Combi Rifle?" Unfortunately theres no way to please everyone.

Which is a stance I'll never understand.
There has never been a time for Infinity where I've thought that I wanted less options from a set than I was given. I always want more content that justifies the price I paid.

I suspect we'll see more multi config models if anything. The 4 packs are essentially a pair of them and we're seeing more in things like the upcoming SWAST.

And we're also not seeing more in things like the Blackjack, which has a whopping two profiles(APHMG, D.E.P., Chest Mines or T2 Sniper, SMG, Chest Mines) and is getting a box with just one.
Honestly it just seems to be when the mood strikes them. The Taskmaster "variant" we're getting is literally just one alternate arm.

That Outrage packet has some interesting looking bits... a Druze Sectorial (of sorts) and the profiles for the Outrage Minis. It will be interesting to give it a closer read later.

This does seem to be the case some times, maddeningly enough...

Exactly.
Hopefully they release them in pairs from here on out.
Though some still need yet a 3rd sculpt.
I.E. no BS zero still.

Not every profile is ever going to be available. It just isn't possible until and unless CB start giving alternate arms and really make the most of each model.

Also, yay in high-res!
In case anyone wanted to see some high-res images of the Blackjack, there you go. We got an HD version of the seminar and I sat down and screencapped the good stuff.
