In celebration of National Joe Day today (which is a real thing), Hasbro unveiled the latest figure in its G.I. Joe Classified series, and it’s the one basically everyone’s been asking for since the original Toy Fair announcement back in February.
Destro, industrialist and weapon supplier to Cobra, joins the line-up, marking the first non-Joe in the line while also looking amazing. This second-wave original G.I. Joe character is the first in a lot of people’s hearts for a lot of reasons, but the fact he wears a steel mask on his face at all times probably helped elevate his status among the G.I. Joe faithful. Check out the gallery below to see the upcoming G.I. Joe: Classified Destro figure:

Destro includes two guns, one of which is golden, as well as a brief case and his signature shiny, metal head
The packaging design is by artist Oliver Barrett and will be available as a Hasbro Pulse exclusive t-shirt. The figure itself has an MSRP of $19.99 and a June 1, 2020 release date and can be preordered now in the U.S. directly from Hasbro Pulse and other retailers.
In addition to the Destro reveal, Hasbro is celebrating Joe Day by adding 15 episodes of the original 1980s cartoon to its official YouTube channel.
