It’s Toy Fair week!
IGN.com has blown the lid off the new upcoming G.I. Joe: Classified 6″ line this morning, revealing first looks at Scarlett and Roadblock, as well as official images of Snake Eyes which was leaked earlier this week.
Simply put – I’m ecstatic.
I can already anticipate a flurry of complaints about the figures not being 100% authentic to the vintage designs, but I gotta say, I love this direction. Taking inspiration from the classics, but with some great updates, these figures look collector friendly and fun.
Hasbro Pulse has currently listed the pre-order for Snake Eyes and according to IGN, both Scarlett and Roadblock will be available for pre-order tomorrow.
Also, Hasbro Pulse has a great video up looking at the process behind the design of Snake Eyes and his packaging and it’s chock full of awesome detail.
Don’t look now, but 2020 is off to a great G.I. Joe start, and I’m sure there will be a lot more fun stuff to see tomorrow at Toy Fair!
Great blend of sci-fi, military, and classic inspiration with a futuristic look!
hope they do classic line with the new line
I like them. I have to admit, at first I was a little disappointed they weren’t “classic”, but I’ve come around. They’re very much designed with a “what would these characters look like if we first made them in 2020.” vibe. They’re all still instantly recognizable, though, which is great.
I’m glad to have more Joes coming from Hasbro, even though they are not the 4″ figures I’m used to collecting. I already have 2 Snake Eyes figures preordered and waiting for the rest to be available.
