Tech Hawk figure has surfaced through an eBay listing! We can only guess that GI Joe Classified Series D.I.R.E. Tech Hawk is probably going to be part of the upcoming October Walmart Collector Con. I love seeing these pop up in the wild because it means more stores could be getting stock any day now. If you’re a GI Joe Classified collector, it might be time to start checking your local Walmart! So let’s take a look at the GI Joe Classified DIRE Hawk spotted in the wild!

Here’s a closer look at the D.I.R.E. Hawk packaging fresh out of a shipping case at Walmart. The box art features a dark, carbon fiber-textured design with a prominent red Cobra sigil in the lower left corner and a green D.I.R.E. Tech emblem in the upper left, framing a window that shows the figure tucked inside with what looks like a gold-colored weapon and tactical gear.

Here are some fun shots of a full case of D.I.R.E. Hawk figures stacked neatly in a shipping box, six deep. Each box shows the same dark carbon fiber texture with that red Cobra sigil repeating down the row, and you can see the small clear windows on each package hinting at the figure inside.

And here he is on the shelf at Walmart! So keep your eyes peeled for #225! In the meantime, if you can’t wait, you can always go to the aftermarket to get him right away HERE!
