You may have already heard rumors of a new, 6″ G.I. Joe figure line, and this morning Hasbro confirmed it is, in fact, readying an all-new series of Joe’s for 2020.
The G.I. Joe Classified line are 6″ figures inspired by the 1980s G.I. Joe 3.75″ figures, but are so very much better. Take a look at Snake Eyes, Roadblock, and Scarlett in the gallery below:

Snake Eyes, everyone’s favorite G.I. Joe ninja, comes with an “Arashikage Ninja Clan-inspired gear storage rack” for all his ninja gear, like his katana, sai, ninja stars and decidedly non-ninja submachine gun. Snake Eyes’ packaging includes “foil effects and original artwork from Tracie Ching and Miq Willmott,” and should be out sometime later this year. Check out a behind the scenes look at the Snake Eyes and the packaging in this video from Hasbro.
Scarlett comes with a crossbow and a whole grip of knives, and the packaging for the figure has art by Phil Noto. Roadblock comes with a “heavy artillery blaster” and package art by Mike Thompson and Ken Lashley. All three figures include multiple articulation points and Scarlett and Roadblock can be preordered directly from Hasbro Pulse beginning tomorrow, February 22 at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT, as well as the usual retailers you’d expect. The preorder page for Roadblock will be live at Amazon and Scarlett can be preordered from Amazon or Walmart in addition to Hasbro Pulse.
Snake Eyes, on the other hand, can be preordered right now, and ONLY from Hasbro Pulse. Snuck up on you, didn’t he? That’s the way of the ninja, my friends.
Hasbro has been busy this Toy Fair, introducing a new set of Transformers: WFC figures to coincide with the upcoming animated Netflix series.
