I don't see either of the two most popular characters in G.I. Joe being SDCC releases either. Both SE and SS and their many renditions will be full blown regular releases.
Who will be the SDCC 2012 Sideshow Exclusive?

Storm Shadow is big enough for a variant as a regular release. Would you accept Commando Snakes Eyes as a SDCC EX? I don't think so 
It would be a lame variant of a main character (ie CCC) or a trooper variant.

Maybe a black ensemble hooded Commander? The ninjas are pretty played out to get another one, unless Sideshow wants to turn this into The Dead.
I still don't think we'll get anything. They already said they were pulling back on releases for 2012 anyway.

A Variant of the upcoming Crimson Guard perhaps?

What is a Crimson Guard if not Crimson?

The next Storm Shadow will be a 88 version, not a variant.
LOL, thats what I was going to say
Id bet there is nothing this year, aside from what we know is being released, I see this as beomg a ____ year for Joe announcements
There's always this hideous eyesore:
Sideshow has looked to the 25th Joe line for inspiration previously.
Exactly. The NEXT Storm Shadow. Anything after the first is automatically a variant. We already got 1 SS so the next would be a variant.
this probably makes the most sense...as it will be a variant character choice,re-used parts and NOT a new character..
though my choice is Zartan with Blue Skin,with different accessories
Blue Zartan actually makes the most sense right now. Its a cool variant, but not a must have for everyone. Plus we know Sideshow looked into giving Sideshow the skin changing feature, but it just didn't work (I was also told that whatever Hasbro did back in the 80's doesn't exist anymore, which is way the 25th Zartan didn't turn out so well).
So my vote is for Blue Zartan now

Plus how appropiate would it be to get Blue skinned Zartan as the SDCC Exclusive and introduce the first Vehicle in the line
Zartan's Swamp Skier
Similar to when we got the Cobra Throne and Cherry Cola CC Ex.

This is assuming we even have Zartan by SDCC.

Well, according to his product page he's showing March so he should be out. Now, could he get moved back? Sure but at this point I don't think it will. Not to mention they probably already took or are about to take the sdcc version if that was the case to production so its totally ready for comic-con.
I think blue Zartan would have pretty limited appeal. Even less than a red Cobra Commander. I'm a pretty hardcore Zartan fan and I think I would balk at that one. But who knows?
I disagree. I think a con exclusive is something that is not essential (of course), but will appeal to a large enough sub-set of the fanbase to make it worth producing. So, troop variant for instance. Cobra Commander, sure. He's the leader of Cobra. Troopers, sure. Everyone wants more Skittle colored troops. Random Star Wars prequel clone number 543, sure. Star Wars fans will buy every one of those Sideshow creative can come up with. I don't see Zartan being the kind of character folks are gonna shell out $150 twice for. Anything could happen though.
