On the 27th of October, and as a Pulse Premium Member Exclusive event, Hasbro held Pulse Premium 1027 a bonus event tagged onto Pulse Con like last year's after-party. The event was hosted by Steve Evans and included the various brand teams working through some more content, including some new reveals held back from their main Pulse Con presentations.
The GI Joe presentation started with the reveal of the Cobra Officer who will join Spirit Iron-knife and Storm Shadow as the general release wave 8. The Officer uses the Cobra Trooper as a base and still comes with a removable helmet. Weaponry includes a machine gun - with two magazines - a sub-machine gun, and a smaller pistol. There is also a clip-on light scope for the weapons and a back-mounted holster. We will see wave 8 around July 2022.
This Cobra Officer figure comes ready for action, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability and 9 character-inspired accessories. And with custom artwork by François Coutu, the G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Officer package will make a mark on shelves.
G.I. Joe is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe. These extraordinarily talented heroes are selected for their elite abilities and tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
