It’s #GIJoeDay, and we’re dropping intel on three NEW exclusive #ClassifiedSeries render reveals straight from the front lines!” The digital render reveals include the Cobra S.N.A.K.E. Battle Armor, Cobra Ninjas Slice & Dice, A.W.E. Striker with Crankcase, Darklon, MASS Device Breaker, MASS Device Divers, Retro Flint, Retro Cover Girl, and Retro Tele-Viper.
A.W.E. Striker with Crankcase
Teased at New York Comic Con 2024, we thought the AWE Striker would be coming to the Classified Series! Built for speed, terrain, and combat, this off-road beast will be ready to deploy with Crankcase behind the wheel.
From the GI Joe panel at NYCC Comic Con 2024, it appeared that a new vehicle is in the works and it must be a small form factor and we were thinking this could be a tease for the AWE Striker!
Slice and Dice
Slice and Dice were leaked as part of the epic month of GI Joe Classified Series leaks back in November/December 2024! Masters of deception and destruction, this ruthless duo is sharpening their blades to carry out Cobra’s next plot.
Slice and Dice Ninja Force
Get ready to strike with precision and power as the GI Joe Classified Series are going deep into the 1990’s and bringing Ninja Force figures to the line! Thanks to the thefullforcepodcast for posting images by way of Jayy Khan, Slice and Dice are karate chopping their way to the line with these leaked images. This is surprising as they were not name only revealed at the GI Joe panel at NYCC 2024. Whether you’re reliving the 1990s glory days of Ninja Force or discovering these fan-favorites for the first time, the Ninja Force figures stood out for their bold, colorful designs and “action attack” features. These action features set Ninja Force apart from other G.I. Joe figures, which usually had standard articulation. These Slice Dice GI Joe Classified Series figures will beef up the ninja’s in the line for sure!
Slice
Slice comes in his classic red outfit and it appears he comes with 2 head sculpts. Given that these are prototypes, we are assuming his ninja mask will have a silver front. Slice’s design was instantly recognizable as he wore a striking red and black outfit but it looks like we get to see his face, which gives him a sinister, almost menacing look.
Slice was released carded as part of the eleventh series (1992) as part of the Ninja Force. He came with a butterfly knife, a black heavy sword, and a black figure stand. His file card read, “Motto: “I fear no mortal man in face-to-face combat, but my sword cuts easiest from behind!” Captured Cobra documents indicate that SLICE may be a renegade Ninja from STORM SHADOW’S very own clan! It is believed that Slice created his own evil sword technique by observing the battle strategies of scorpions and adapting the movement into a backhand sword-slash that he calls the “Scorpion Slash.” He’s an expert with all edged weapons, small hand guns and explosives, and enjoys working with the Cobra Ninja cohort, named DICE! Slice can usually be found driving the Cobra Parasite when he’s not in his martial arts studio.
Dice
Dice is also part of the Ninja Force and he comes with 2 masks and an additional unmasked head sculpt.
Here we can see the two alternate head sculpts.
Here are up close shots of the two masks that come with Dice (left and middle) and the mask that comes with Slice (right).
Dice was released carded as part of the eleventh series (1992) as part of the Ninja Force. He came with a silver axe, a silver bo-staff, and a black figure stand. His file card read, “Motto: “I’m a back-breaker, a face-stomper and bone-breaker! Don’t mess with me, or I’ll mess you up!” Rumor has it that DICE was once a Cobra NIGHT CREEPER, but was kicked out for being TOO evil! Dice operates as a partner to the Cobra Ninja Swordsman SLICE, specializing in choke holds, pressure points, snares, traps, blunt instruments and eye-gouging. His weapon of choice is the Bo-Staff, which he can manipulate with blinding speed and bone crushing power. His most dreaded technique is a motion he calls the “Flying Dragon.” Dice is most troublesome when he gets behind the wheel of the Cobra Rat.”
Cobra SNAKE Battle Armor
A mechanized force of destruction, Cobra’s latest battlefield innovation in 6-inch scale and more menacing than ever.
Darklon
Darklon was a cool reveal as he came packed with a vehicle back in the 80’s so it’s cool that they are making him into a stand alone figure to beef up Destro’s Iron Grenadier faction!
Huge thanks to thefullforcepodcast for posting a preproduction image of Darklon via Jayy Khan! You can see his classic barrel gun plus a revolver, knife, and a sword and sheath!
The prototype shows some tell tale signs of this being the Darklon figure as he has the grenades wrapping around his right shin and the strap that goes across his chest. His leg armor also goes up his thigh, which is another sign.
Darklon hails from the same bloodline as the infamous Destro, sharing the legacy of a family-bound steel mask. But while the Destro clan built their empire through arms dealing, the Darklons carved their path in more ruthless pursuits—mercenary work, privateering, and even investment banking. They’re opportunists, loyal only to the highest bidder, with no allegiances or sides to call their own. Darklon takes it a step further, unlike his distant cousin. He’s got no moral compass, no code of honor. Greed fuels his every move, making him one of the most dangerous players in the game.
MASS Device Breaker
A mechanized force of destruction, Cobra’s latest battlefield innovation in 6-inch scale and more menacing than ever.
According to the thefullforcepodcast, Shaw Liú has shared more preproduction images of the MASS Device Breaker.
Here are some shots of Breaker’s comms backpack that shows a place for his headset (yet to be revealed) to port in.
Here is a shot of the top and inner views of the backpack and there is also a slot on the top of the pack.
There were also a pair of white mystery weapons shown, which are previously repainted weapons from other figures.
MASS Device Divers
The Divers were a nice surprise as they are a red and yellow repaint of Torpedo and Eels!
Retro Cardback Flint
Flint looks classic as you can see his classic paint applications with his black shirt, and green and brown camo pants.
Here we have leaked images of the Retro Flint pre production sample thanks to Jkan7. He has his classic web gear full of bullets and comes with a green backpack, 2 pairs of additional hands and his classic looking rifle.

She comes included with an alternate head with long blonde hair and includes a pairs of additional hands, wrench, sledge hammer, gun, and rifle.

Retro Cardback Tele-Viper
The Tele-Viper has shortened sleeves like the vintage figure and his two alternate head sculpts feature the words ALERT and WHAT THA…?
Next is the leaked images for the Retro Tele-Viper. A repaint of the first version, this version comes in his classic ARAH blue outfit color way. He comes packed with 2 additional head portraits, his laser gun and backpack.
