Hasbro's G.I. Joe Classified Series portion of their NYCC 2025 Day 2 panel included a look at the physical figures for the five previews they've given us in the build up to NYCC. They include Hit N' Run, Mole Rat (Stage 2), Lifeline, Night Viper, and Big Lob



There were further digital render reveals, including the Cobra La Royal Guard and a new Arctic Assault HISS tank, which was also on display in the Hasbro Booth after the panel. This is a 'made-to-order' item which can be pre-ordered during a 30-day window that opens soon. The item then goes into production and ships in December 2026 at which point you will be charged for the product.



There were some name-only reveals for future releases, including a female Cobra Crimson Guard, Crazy Legs, and Zap

G.I. JOE is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. The brave members of G.I. JOE are prepared to seek out Cobra in any environment on the planet. From hostile jungles to ice-clad arctic peaks…wherever there’s trouble, G.I. JOE is there. New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Edwin “Lifeline” Steen comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Edwin “Lifeline” Steen figure contains 11 character-inspired accessory pieces including helmet, backpack, medic bag, breathing mask, blood bag, flashlight, knife, 2 goggles, weapon accessory, and his signature green glasses. The troops have to know that if something really heavy comes down on them and they’re in no condition to walk out of the mess, somebody is going to have the heart to wade in and extricate them. That somebody is Lifeline.

 


G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES #187, NIGHT-VIPER

The brave members of G.I. JOE are prepared to seek out Cobra in any environment on the planet. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. JOE is there. New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Night-Viper comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Night-Viper figure contains 7 character-inspired accessory pieces including alternate helmeted head with night-vision visor, backpack, 2 knives, and weapon accessories. The powerful infrared detector of a Night-Viper’s helmet can spot the body heat of a squirrel at 100 yards. Their combat suit and weapons are mostly made of synthetic composites that reduce their own infrared signature and defy most ground radars. Direct intense light can overload sensors. The problem is you have to find him first.

New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Brent “Hit & Run” Scott comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Brent “Hit & Run” Scott figure contains 10 character-inspired accessory pieces including grappling hook, grappling hook handle, machete, duffel bag, knife, helmet goggles, and weapon accessories. Orphaned at a young age, Hit & Run grew up “practicing” for his future career by scaling the sheer walls of the county institution where he grew up. As soon as he was of age he ran direct from the custody of the county to a recruiting office.

 


G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES #189, BRADLEY “BIG LOB” SANDERS

(HASBRO | Ages 4 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $27.99 | Pre-order Available Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 1PM ET)

Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. JOE is there. New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Bradley “Big Lob” Sanders comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Bradley “Big Lob” Sanders figure contains 8 character-inspired accessory pieces including alternate hand, hand with basketball, knife, grenade, “alley-oop” grenade launcher, “fadeaway” rifle, and weapon accessories. A top athlete who opted to enlist in the Reserves rather than pro sports, Big Lob’s precise distance grenade throws and exceptional skill with the “alley-oop” multi-shot grenade launcher and “fadeaway” quickly caught the attention of the G.I. JOE team, who recruited him under their Rawhides program. When Big Lob makes his move, he always shoots to score the big win.

This Mole Rat figure contains 8 character-inspired accessory pieces including backpack, scanner, Dark Energon cannister, 2 alternate mutated heads, and a drill trigger with drill bit, and weapon accessory. The Mole Rats, Cobra’s scientific cannon fodder, continue to extract deposits of volatile Dark Energon as an energy source to power Cobra’s war machine. Extended exposure has sparked certain troopers to become mindless husks bent on destroying anything in their path and Stage 2 of the infection has only accelerated their degeneration.

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...
