Here’s another G.I. Joe/Transformers collaboration set from Hasbro. Kup has been redesigned to transform into Sgt. Slaughter’s Triple T vehicle. The set comes with modified re-releases of the original 1986 figures of Leatherneck and Sgt. Slaughter. This a pretty great set of figures! For comparison, here’s my original Leatherneck, Sgt. Slaughter, and Triple T from … Continue reading Kup Triple T (2024)
Hasbro’s new Cobra C.L.A.W. for their Classified G.I. JOE line has arrived. It comes with a Cobra Pilot figure. The pilot figure is great, but for my outside photos I decided to go with Cobra Commander, himself. This is my favorite figure of the commander from the Classified line. The reflective mask is pretty great, … Continue reading Cobra C.L.A.W. (2025)
In 2020, Hasbro began producing six-inch G.I.JOE figures called the Classified Series. Excellent sculpts of iconic characters, these look great on display and the packaging art is first rate. This is not a complete list - I'm just showing some of the ones I have so far. This Snake-Eyes is from the 2021 film SNAKE-EYES: … Continue reading G.I. JOE Classified Series (Six-Inch Figures)

Some came with exclusive Funko Pops of Duke and Megatron, and others came with … Continue reading G.I. Joe/Transformers Lunchbox (2020)

These were three of my favorites from the 1980s Joe figures, and here they are together as a new wave in Hasbro’s Classified line. The vintage style packaging explodes off the shelf with incredible new art, and it’s fun to see the file cards on the back. At some point, I’ll open these and update … Continue reading Classified Series Eel, Snow Serpent, and Beach Head (2024)
Last year, the Cobra Flight Pod dropped in the G.I. Joe Classified line and included a Tele-Viper figure. The Flight Pod is a great choice for the six-inch figures, being a smaller vehicle. Looking good! Here it is next to the original 1985 Flight Pod, which is of course scaled to the 3.75-inch figures. I … Continue reading Flight Pod (Trubble Bubble) for 6-inch figures (2023)

A Megatron that transforms into a Cobra HISS tank that's to scale with the 3.75-inch Joe and Cobra figures! It comes with a Baroness figure, and let's compare it with a vintage 1984 Baroness. As you can … Continue reading Megatron HISS Tank

Talk about a … Continue reading HasLab HISS Tank (2023)
