The Crimson Strike Team is up for preorder!
Crimson Strike Team Official Images
The box for the Crimson Strike Team is absolutely stunning! It is modeled after a briefcase that has communication equipment and a screen where you can see Tomax, Xamot, and the Baroness. The figures are also on display within the box with their footlocker of weapons and accessories.
The outer box is silver and has a Cobra Logo on one side and the Extensive Enterprises branding with the Crimson Strike Team plate on the other side.
The Crimson strike team comes with a gaggle of weapons, accessories, and and even an alternate face sculpts for the Baroness! The weapons are gold and Hasbro has done an amazing job as the gold colored weapons tie in with the splashes of gold on the figures.
The trio of The Baroness, Tomax, and Xamot look amazing in this color scheme and we can also see the Baronesses faceplate in this shot and she looks fierce! The gold accents appear on the shoulder armor and on the belts.
Dio Images
We always look forward to seeing the official dio images as they are always top notch!
The scene looks like something out of Cobra Island and they look amazing in their poses holding their weapons.
The Baroness is the most unique digure in the bunch as the Joe Team gave her 3 alternate looks!
The most unique out of all of them is her gold and red faceplate and she looks stunning with it on!
Tomax and Xamot were tricksters in the original cartoon and their circus pose is very apropos!
Crimson Strike Team Description
The devil in the details and we really have to hand it to the Saturday Morning Toy Collector as he picked up on something that we don’t think many people are talking about. If you watch his reaction to the Walmart Collector Con 2023 GI Joe figure previews, he points out something very intersting about the in the description. If you actually read the Crimson Alley Viper description, there are two major things to point out. First, the Crimson Alley Viper description confirms the rumors that the Crimson Strike Team is coming to the GI Joe Classified Series. Up until this point, we’ve heard rumors and it’s great to see this in writing on an official GI Joe Classified Series product page! It specifically references the “Crimson Strike Team (Tomax, Xamot, and the Baroness).” If seeing the images on the SDCC 2023 exclusive Chuckles box art wasn’t enough to convince you, we now have it in writing. The Crimson Strike Team is a long rumored Hasbro Pulse Con 2023 exclusive and that can’t come soon enough. Second, they make reference to the Mole Rats mining Dark Energon, which is a reference to Transformers so it would be insane to finally see these two lines properly crossed over!
Crimson Alley Viper Description
G.I. Joe is a highly skilled special operations force of men and women from around the globe. tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. Prepared to seek out Cobra in any environment on the planet…wherever there’s trouble, G.I. Joe is there. New to the G.I. Joe Classified Series line, Crimson Alley Viper comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Crimson Alley Viper figure contains 10 character-inspired accessories including a visor mask, riot shield, grappling hook, backpack, 2 knives, and 2 weapon accessories; plus a footlocker to stow all his gear! To consolidate their power within Cobra, the Crimson Strike Team (Tomax, Xamot, and the Baroness) have reassigned their most loyal and ruthlessly brutal troops to the Crimson Alley Viper squadrons. Crimson Alley Vipers were recently sent to quell a strange outbreak among the Mole Rat troopers excavating Dark Energon Mines.
Crimson Strike Team Tease and Rumors
Hasbro has taken a page out of Mattel’s MOTU Origins playbook with teasing future figure releases on box art. You can also see the Crimson Twins and the Baroness on the box art! The Crimson Strike team is rumored to be a Hasbro Pulse Con 2023 exclusive so it’s great to get further confirmation of the rumor!
SDCC 2023 Crimson Strike Team Revealed
This will be a Pulse Con exclusive convention item. The Crimson colors match the rest of the Crimson figures. Baroness comes with swappable glasses and hair. This will still be in plastic free packaging. They will come packed in a “briefcase” looking box, with some faux gold bars and the 3 crimson Strike team figures. This is the same brief case that Chuckles can be seen carrying.
The Crimson Strike Team was also on display at SDCC 2023 and the figures look even better in person! The Baroness has a nice shiny paint app on her upper torso and the gold accents they added to Tomax and Xamot really make them feel premium!
