Where to Buy

Digital Render Reveals

Rock N Roll

One of GI Joe’s most iconic characters, we finally get Rock N Roll coming to the line. His digital render looked amazing. He has an old Surfer vibe and heavy weapons look. He included full sleeve tattoos in faded blues. He comes with variant hands with skull tattoo, a heavy blaster with functional bi-pod and ammo belts strapped across his chest. This one looks to be a very exciting character and we can’t wait to see what the production figure will look like.

Bazooka

When Bazooka was revealed last year, we were all super excited, except he was the Tiger Force version and that was cool, but I’m sure you all wished he was his classic version. We’ll Hasbro is bringing us Classic Bazooka! He is dressed in his classic red football jersey with the blue 14 on the chest. He is sporting his classic mustache, green helmet and green pants. This is a very beefy character, and has an aggressive and meaty design. A nice detail was that his jersey hangs over his biceps for a nice layered effect.

Torpedo

Torpedo was another exciting digital render reveal. He comes in a black and white wet suit design, with awesome scuba accessories. He includes a spear gun that attaches to his backpack and to his shoulder in a hoop. He also comes with black and red fins. His west suits is a skin tight costume that looks amazing and he even includes backpack straps. Corey said he’s super excited to get him in the bath tub!

Copperhead

We all knew Copperhead was coming, and everyone figured he was going to be in his Python Patrol colors. But in a pleasant surprise, we are getting his classic green design! He includes side arm holsters on his back, a tattoo on his right wrist, silver Cobra logo on his chest, maniacal expression on his face. He is wearing a none removable helmet because that helmet is part of the character.

Shipwreck

This has to be the one digital reveal I was personally the most excited about, and it is Shipwreck in his classic blue shirt with jeans, with his pet companion Polly who can attach to his shoulder! He includes ropes strapped to his chest, swappable hair piece, hairy chest detail, trademark tattoos, and weathering effect on jeans. He comes with a grappling hook, a pistol, and a double barreled musket.

Preorders

Falcon

Falcon is dressed in his classic green camo commando design. He comes with a removable beret and removable scarf, and very close to the original ARAH design. He also includes his heavy blaster, coms backpack, and overstepped web gear.

Barbecue Mad Marauders

Here we have a repaint of Barbecue. But this time, Barbecue is in his Slaughters Marauders color scheme. He can be considered a trooper builder. He is dressed in his classic blue, greens and brown Marauders but in a more Classified style greens. His package includes John James artwork.

Crimson BAT

Again another repaint, this version of the BAT is in the Crimson Guard colored scheme. Tomax and Xamot “ordered” these for Cobra and numbered them. He has a battle damaged silver Cobra symbol on their chest plate. Will match Crimson red on Crimson guard and Crimson Twins. There are some nice details to him. He has some battle damage wearing on his outfit and cool grey accents.

Outback

Here we have yet another repaint, but one I can’t be more excited to be getting already!! It’s Outback in his vintage colors with the “Survival” white T Shirt and green camo pants, and red hair. So excited for this one! He even includes red arm hair! He has updated artwork by Hartly Holmes.

Pipeline Name Only Reveals

Snow Serpent

The Snow Serpant is an exciting name only reveal and we are using a custom concepts to show you what he may look like. This one is exciting because he comes packed with a ton of really cool accessories like snow shoes, googles and a ton of rifles.

Buzzer

Buzzer is a long awaited character reveal as well. Now we get to build out the Dreadnocks! Again, we are using a custom concepts to show you what he may look like.

Female Cobra Trooper

The last name only reveal we got was a female cobra character. We are using custom concepts as a placeholder to see what a female Cobra Figure may look like. These could be cool army builders, especially if they come with interchangable heads and accessories.

Hawk and Tripwire

While the GI Joe Brand panel was not scheduled to kick off until October 1, 2022 at 1:15pm ET, we got another two name only pipeline reveals during the pre-show and they are none other than Hawk and Tripwire!

Tripwire

Skoog, Tormod S. will be joining the Classified Series in the future. He came out in the vintage line 1983 so it will be great to see what his updated version will look like. We came across this custom Classified Series Tripwire on Hisstank.com, which gives a cool, updated version to his vintage counterpart.

Hawk

Abernathy, Clayton M. will be joining the GI Joe Classified Series in the way distant future but the question is which version will it be? Will it be the original green shirt version that came out in 1982 or version 2 that came out in 1986? We explore what both versions could like!

Version 1

While we could not find any Classified Series scale customs, we did come across these two versions in 3 3/4″ scale. We’ve found that the Classified Series molds are sometimes very similar so here is these figures could look like.

Version 2

General Hawk, as his version 2 figure is called, looked drastically different than his v1 counterpart. Drawing inspiration from one of our favorite GI Joe customizers, yojoearah, we see what this figure could like and this one is in Classified Series scale.

HISS Tank Haslab Update:

We got some updates to the HISS Tank Haslab project. We got to see images of the of lady gunner with metallic red paint, comes with mallet and shovel, heavy blaster, machine blaster with magazine. Also revealed was a production sample of Cobra Commander with world snake in his hand. And if you are wondering about the Early Bird figure, backers will get the chance to vote. Polling info will be forthcoming for backers.
