After an epic day of Leap Day 2024 GI Joe Classified Series reveals and preorders, sb_toyz has some amazing in-hand images of not yet released in the U.S. Airborne figure! Digtally render revealed at Hasbro Pulse Con 2023 and put up for preorder during the GI Joe Classified Series December 2023 FanStream, Airborne has made the news quite a few times before we’ve been able to see in-hand images. Airborne’s box was leaked the day before the December 2023 FanStream and, prior to that, his protoype parts were showing up in images online. Flash forward to today, sb_toyz has captured some amazing pics of Airborne and we’ve featured his images a few times before! He takes stellar photographs and we are so thrilled that he posts these on Instagram so everyone can see them!
Figure and Packout Details
Airborne comes in the v2 GI Joe Classified Series window display box and if you watched the GI Joe Classified Series Leap Day FanStream, they have taken a step backwards in box design. Lucky for Airborne, this classic figure made it before the latest box design iteration. Airborne comes with a gaggle of accessories so you can change up his look in many different ways.
The paint app on the uniform is a nod to his vintage figure, with updated styling and more layered look! The weapons and accessories are made to layer on top of each other, which makes for great displayability. For example, you can pose him with his helmet and weapon if you prefer a much simpler look.
As he comes with removable goggles, you can throw them on his face and detach the green goggles from his helmet! He also comes with sidearm and a knife for those action poses!
Airborne looks amazing standing at attention and from all angles!
You can also attach his optics to his helmet for an even cooler look! Finally, his tactical shovel is sculpted onto to his brown backpack!
Airborne
Airborne comes with a great loadout, including an SMG with a removable suppressor, very cool optics, and goggles, helmet.
His backpack also has a sculpted tactical shovel and a cool patch on his left arm.
Here is how he looks and they also said he has a darker skin tone, harkening back to his Navajo roots plus the greens are called rifle greens, which are the same color as the Dragonfly.
We saw a leaked image of Airborne in box so we expected to see him go up for preorder!

Airborne Leaked Figure in Box
Around the same time we got wind of the GI Joe Classified Series Duke and Scarlett Retro Cardback leaks, we also saw a fully produced and in-box image of Airborne amongst other figures like Metal Head and the recently leaked Big Boa figure. Airborne has only been digital render revealed so it’s amazing to see him in-box! The photo isn’t that great but we can clearly see Airborne in the upper right corner of the image below. We are also thrilled that the window display packaging is back and it looks like the Airborne figure came out really nicely! The illustration in the lower right corner of the box shows him with his helmet on and how is packout is arranged.
Airborne Prototype Leak
According to gi_shark, this looks to be the lower legs of the forthcoming Airborne figure.
Airborne Digital Render Reveal
Airborne is in his classic O-Ring color scheme. The optics can plug onto his helmet. He is really geared up with a layered look to his helmet and gear. Airborne will be released before the Dragonfly.. He is the G.I. Joe Team’s helicopter assault trooper and debuted in 1983. It’s super cool to finally see his digital render to envision what a Classified Series figure of Airborne would look like. His real name is Franklin E. Talltree, and his rank is that of sergeant E-5. Airborne was born in a Navajo Reservation in Arizona. His primary military specialty is an airborne infantryman, while as his secondary military specialty he is a helicopter gunship gunner.
