GI Joe Classified Series NYCC 2025 Booth Images

We’re coming to you live from New York Comic Con 2025 with fresh coverage from the GI Joe Classified Series booth, and it’s an absolute treat for fans of the line! Straight from the panel, the Joe team showcased the figures from the most recent wave that was just digital render revealed last week, but seeing them in person takes things to a whole new level. I was especially excited to finally lay eyes on Lifeline with his detailed rescue gear, Big Lob looking larger than life, and the updated Mole Rat v2, which brings some new sculpt tweaks to the lineup. Hit N Run’s camo and gear looked fantastic under the show lights, and the Night Viper brought that perfect stealth vibe to round out the display. But the big showstopper for me was the newly revealed Arctic HISS, a made-to-order vehicle inspired by the HasLab HISS, now reimagined in a frosty deco that perfectly suits Classified scale.

Where to Buy

These go up for preorder on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at 1 PM Eastern Time on Hasbro Pulse and at other major retailers so come back here for updated live links!

Mole Rat v2

The updated version of the Mole Rat expands the Classified Series’ world-building with a glow-in-the-dark feature and “Energon sickness” design theme. The alternate head sculpt shows infection spreading through the figure’s face, adding a horror element. Tony from the design team contributed to this concept, emphasizing the grotesque transformation. The team hinted that a future “further evolved” Mole Rat version could appear in later waves.

An up-close look at the G.I. Joe Classified Series Mole Rat v2 shows off the eerie blend of sci-fi and tactical design. The figure features a vivid teal and neon yellow hazmat-style suit accented by detailed sculpting on the gear and tubing that runs from his black breathing apparatus to his helmet. His crystalized purple head sculpt catches the light with a jagged, alien-like texture that makes the corruption effect feel alive. The heavy backpack with fan details connects seamlessly to the helmet tubing completing the look of a trooper overtaken by Dark Energon contamination.

Night Viper

A popular troop-builder from the vintage line, Night Viper gets a full modern update with a blend of matte and glossy textures to enhance his dark green and black armor. The figure’s optic visor detaches and can be mounted to his rifle, allowing customizable display options. He features knife sheaths, shin-mounted blades, and tactical detailing throughout the sculpt.

Night Viper is shown with his visor lifted, revealing the face beneath the high-tech headgear. The figure’s dark, tactical mask exposes only his eyes, which are sharply painted and framed by the sculpted contours of the helmet.

Big Lob

Making his Classified debut, Big Lob represents the G.I. Joe team’s athletic powerhouse from the 1987 animated movie. The figure includes a basketball accessory molded from soft material for safety, a grenade launcher, and an alternate grenade piece inspired by his cartoon appearance. His sculpt captures his animated look with muscular proportions and modern articulation. During the panel, the team joked about his “slam dunk” moment and showed diorama shots where Big Lob battles the Mole Rats before being revived by Lifeline with oxygen gear.

Big Lob is shown in a new pose gripping the basketball with both hands, ready to line up a shot. His sculpt shows off the athletic build with detailed arm muscles and textured wristbands, white on one wrist and blue on the other, adding a pop of color against the red jersey. The green cargo pants with holsters and straps balance out his sports-meets-combat look, while the focused expression on his face gives him that in-the-zone intensity that fits the character’s personality perfectly.

Hit N Run

Hit & Run features a tactical loadout with a duffel bag that opens, a machete that stores inside, and a grappling hook system with cord attachment for posing. The figure carries a compact assault rifle and climbing harness details inspired by his vintage version. The sculpt showcases modernized gear textures and functional accessories while maintaining the green camouflage aesthetic that defined the character.

Hit N Run is shown without his helmet, giving a clear view of the face paint streaks across his skin that add to his field-ready look. His short brown hair is sculpted with fine detail, and the green and black camouflage pattern carries through the uniform, blending the tones of his face paint with his fatigues. The figure’s harness, gear straps, and rope accessories are arranged across his chest and waist, while his grappling hook and rifle highlight complete the look of the figure.

Lifeline

Lifeline joins the line as the team’s medic, equipped with a wide range of rescue and medical accessories. His gear includes a working backpack, an opening suitcase with a rebreather, a saline IV bag that attaches to other figures, and his signature green glasses and two sets of goggles. The alternate goggle set prevents stretching when the helmet is removed. His holster and sidearm are detachable for display flexibility. The design reflects Lifeline’s original 1986 look but with Classified-level realism and articulation.

Lifeline is shown here without his helmet, revealing a clean-cut head sculpt with neatly combed black hair and a focused expression that fits his medic role. His bright red rescue suit pops with crisp white harness straps and gray gear pouches, giving a realistic tactical look. The white medical pack on his back and detailed accessories at his feet, including the helmet and medical case. The crisp paint apps on the “RESCUE” lettering and molded knee pads stand out nicely under the display lighting.

Arctic HISS

A surprise reveal was the Arctic Assault HISS Tank, displayed later at the Hasbro booth. This vehicle will be offered as a made-to-order item through Hasbro Pulse later in 2025, similar to HasLab campaigns but without upfront charging. Fans will have a 30-day preorder window, and production numbers will be based on total orders received. The vehicle will ship in late 2026 and is confirmed to be priced below the original HasLab HISS. The snow-themed repaint includes new accessories to pair with previous HasLab releases.

The vehicle features an impressive rocket launcher array mounted on the top deck, with six red-tipped missiles angled for an aggressive ready-to-fire look. The launcher sits on a rotating base, flanked by a heavy machine gun for additional firepower. Along the body, a subtle digital camouflage pattern runs through the icy white armor panels, accented by the bold red “724” markings and “Arctic Assault” insignia. The texturing on the treads and plating adds a rugged, cold-weather feel that matches its specialized arctic theme.

Up close and personal with the rocket launchers and the armory up at the turret!

Here are some alternate views of the HISS!

The figure paired with the Arctic HISS uses the body of a Snow Serpent but swaps in a HISS Driver-style helmet for a unique cold-weather hybrid look. The figure’s outfit features layered white and gray tones, with textured fur lining across the shoulders and collar that gives off an insulated, winterized vibe. The black tactical harness straps and silver buckles contrast against the frosted suit, while the Cobra insignia on the upper arm adds a pop of red detail. The golden visor and dark faceplate tie back to the HISS Driver aesthetic, giving this arctic operative a distinct, unified appearance with the vehicle it’s displayed beside.

While Lenny was setting up the display, he pulled this Arctic HISS figure out so I could get a clean look at him, and wow, up close you can really appreciate the detail. The figure features a textured white parka with fur sculpting that contrasts nicely against the sleek black tactical harness and gear. His helmet sports a crisp white finish with a gold visor stripe over a dark faceplate.
