The first of Hasbro's scheduled SDCC 2026 panels was for the G.I. Joe Classified Series, and this included a selection of new reveals which are summarised in the video below.
The panel included some figures and sets we had seen previewed in the run-up to the event, including the Crimson S.N.A.K.E. armour, Sergeant Slaughter and Triple-T, and the Mad Marauders 2-Pack.
The Mad Marauders are live for pre-order first as of the 28th of July as a Fan-mazon (Fan Channel and Amazon) shared exclusive. The S.N.A.K.E. armour also opens on the 28th and is a global Amazon exclusive. Sergeant Slaughter and the Triple-T will be a Hasbro Pulse Exclusive and is live for pre-order as of the 12th of August.
We also got a better look at the new retro-carded figures of Falcon (new design), the female Cobra Trooper, and Flash. These will be live for pre-order as of the 28th of July.
The team then talked about a new Arctic Snow Trooper 3-Pack which was revealed around a year ago as digital renders of a Steel Corps Arctic Trooper, a Cobra Arctic Drift Viper and an Arctic S.A.W. Viper. This is another Hasbro Pulse Exclusive which is live for pre-order come the 26th of August.
The first Classified series wave of 2027 will include Hard Ball, Shipwreck (more modern look), Daina from the October Guard, Flatline (a new Dreadnok character), and Heat Viper. There were no images for these.
Nor are there any images as yet for a confirmed new Ninja Force release of Snake Eyes and Jinx and a 40th Anniversary G.I. Joe Movie line on retro cards.
The biggest news was saved for the end, with a new 'to order' release of the Thunder Machine. While Thrasher won't be included, he will be made available during 2027 to complement the new vehicle.

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...
