GI Joe Classified Series Digital Renders and Pipeline Reveals

The Joe team came out in full force today at SDCC 2023 with a gaggle of digital render and name only reveals!

Tripwire

Tripwire went from name only reveal straight to preorder!

Thanks to HissTank.com for these incredible SDCC 2023 Booth images!

New to the G.I. Joe Classified Series line, Tripwire comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Tripwire, Apsara, & M.A.C.L.E.O.D. Deluxe pack contains 15 character-inspired accessories including his bomb-sniffing rat “Apsara,” robot M.A.C.L.E.O.D. (Mobile Armored Control Lever for Ordnance Disposal) with remote control; mine sweeper, heavy and light armor gear, neck guards, and helmets, 2 mines, backpack, and weapon accessory; plus a footlocker to stow all his gear! Tripwire freaks people out. He’s always clumsy, jittery and dropping things except when he’s working with high explosives. Explosives are the only things that calm him down.

Steel Corps Troopers

The Hasbro team also had the Steel Corps Troopers on display at their booth at Comic Con.

The Steel Corps Troopers go up for preorder (fan channel) on Monday. July 24, 2023.

Chuckles SDCC 2023 Exclusive

Since this is figure is an SDCC 2023 exclusive, beginning Wednesday July 19 at 5:30 PM PT, you’ll need to find the Hasbro Pulse booth #3213 where you’ll get a “one-time use code, which can be scanned for preorder on HasbroPulse.com.” The limit is one set per code. Like last years Dr. Mindbender exclusive, we expect that they will make the left over stock available on Hasbro Pulse.

Name Only Pipeline Reveals

The Joe team had several name only pipeline reveals to add the list! They were excited to announced the following:

Jinx

Vintage ones shown below for your reference.

Torch

Vintage ones shown below for your reference.

Retro Duke

Vintage ones shown below for your reference.

Retro Scarlet

We can use the digital render of the GI Joe Classified Series Glenda to see what a retro Scarlett will look like.

Vintage ones shown below for your reference.

VAMP & Clutch

We also got treated to a surprise reveal of the VAMP and Clutch! Ribbon feed ammo. It fits 2 figures inside. It has a gear shift. The ontop are removeable. It has a tow hitch. Clutch comes with a helmet and tool belt that you can mix and match on other figures.

Vintage ones shown below for your reference.

SMS & Techno Viper

He has a read a screen on his right forearm to read schematics. On the side of the SMS it has a control screen on it. It comes with pneumatic weapons as well. Rockets s are about 9” long each.

SMS and Techno Viper

During the HasLab HISS Tank reveal, Lenny made a point about letting fans know that the HISS Tank comes with a tow hitch. All of the unlocks thus far have been add ons to the main HISS tank plus several figures, which leaves an empty tow hitch. What would be the perfect candidate for to take a ride on the back of the HISS Tank?

Cobra Sentry and Missile System (SMS)

We feel that the Cobra Sentry and Missile System (SMS) would be the PERFECT candidate for that tow hitch! It is a small form factor missile deployment weapon that would be the perfect add on for a HasLab campaign as a ‘thank you’ for ALL of the backers that have made the HISS Tank a success! It has two wheels and a piece to connect it to the HISS Tank’s tow hitch so they are a match made in heaven!

History of the SMS

Back in 1985, Hasbro created the S.M.S.(Sentry and Missile System), which is a is a two-component weapon system, consisting of a HISS Tank and the surface to air missile system. Like Hasbro is doing with their HasLab creations, Sears wanted Hasbro to create store exclusives to help draw customers to their stores or places orders through their catalogs. Similar to that of the C.A.T. tank, Hasbro created the Sentry and Missile System (S.M.S.) for Cobra! This set included a red Cobra H.I.S.S. tank that would tow a redecorated M.M.S. in black with red missiles. But where did this originally come from? Surely Hasbro wasn’t doing repaints early on in the line! Well, they were so let’s see where this originated from and the several repaints that followed through the years.

Digital Render Reveals

They also had several digital reveals to fill out the Python Patrol and Dreadnok factions!

Python Patrol Copperhead

Python Patrol Copperhead is a repaint of the first release of Copperhead that came out not too long ago.

Python Patrol Cobra Officer

Python Patrol Cobra Officer is also a repaint of the first release.

Buzzer

He has slick back hair with his signature ponytail, and stubble on his face. He comes with his chain saw of course.

Ripper

He comes with removable sunglasses and his classic weapons. He is sporting his signature mohawk. 

Shockwave

Shockwave in his classic colors. He includes a swat shield and a removable hat. He has digital style cammo.

Helix

She is the ultimate weapon character, data fighting. She comes with Mantua blades you can put on her arms.

General Hawk

Hawk is looking very World War II hero with a dry brush on his leather jacket. He comes with 2 sets of goggles. He has a nice touch of grey on his temples. 

Crimson Strike Team

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!

Mutt and Junkyard

As a surprise to all of us, Mutt and Junkyard showed up in the Hasbro Display booth, unannounced and all! They look absolutely spectacular, with incredible detail! The Junkyard looks great wearing that dog vest, and Mutt has a very gritty look on his face, They even included arm and chest hair on him!
