G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

This lil reveal has me hyped up for Classified 2026!

After seeing how incredibly awesome Budo is I knew Deep Six would get the removable armor treatment. Personally I hope the armor has a SHARC influence to the look. Maybe they have two levels of armor. Budo and Heavy Duty and I guess Raptor created a solid deluxe class option for Classified. I’ll pay $40ish for a kick ass Deep Six. Actually it’s going to be sweet to have Eels, Hydra-Vipers, And all the Joes divers to stage under sea battles. Bring on Devil fishes and Hydro-Sleds to support the divers. I’m hoping the Hydra-Vipers have some Mindbender mutated rays. Probably not as they are main line releases and not a fig and pet price point. Anyway excited about the expansion of the divers.

That’s the chameleon swamp skier they are teasing. I agree with Chris Diagnostic 80 on Full Force as this vehicle will come with Zanya. It’s going to be an awesome year for Dreadnok as I am 95% sure the suits at Hasbro gave the directive to give the Thunder Machine the glow up as they did for Snow Cat. It’s going to be beefier with lights and modular armor and mad max weapon attachments. It’s going to be a beast to command a $300+ price point. It should give us a chance at deep pick Noks as stretch goals. I’ll be disappointed if no grape soda accessories.

Then we finally get to buy Arctic HISS. MTO fun has begun for Classified. Marvel Legends got two in a year. Maybe Classified does as well. I guess it will depend on sales. I bought one. Instant commitment and I will put back a lil each month to pay for it. The pics are exciting. How much they support the Arctic environments in 2026 will be interesting to see. We all expect the Polar Battle Bear and maybe a white Stinger. I’m about 75% sure those may come in 2026. They may have been too deep in the planning of 2026 when the Haslab was planned to lead into 2027. So maybe more Arctic vehicle support may be 2027. I’m sure there will be some Arctic figures besides the name only they’ve shared thus far. They could go far finally getting those Arctic BATs released.

Exciting times!

Thwipp!
 
Pure speculation but I would expect they won't go too much harder on the arctic-themed vehicles for a bit. We don't get -that- many vehicles a year and I don't see them devoting basically all of 2026 to arctic stuff. With the CAT and the HISS, that's two very big arctic vehicles in one year already. They'll probably call that good for a while and go back to something a bit more setting-neutral.
I'd love to be wrong but also not really because I don't even know where THESE are going to go, let alone if they put out any more. I'll need an entire living room just for the arctic display.
 
Really excited about Deep Six. I do REALLY hope we get the Eco Warriors Deep Six one day with the Dolphin. I'm still so excited we are getting Ninja Zartan. Something that I completely missed and wasn't even aware of until like a week ago.

Where the hell was I for that info drop?

I think I will skip the Arctic Hiss. I already have the regular Hiss, and I don't feel like I have to have an arctic version. I do really regret I didn't back the Snow C.A.T.

I'll probably end up getting it on Ebay at some point.
 
Semi off-topic but I don't know where else to drop it. After going back and forth for a while I finally pulled the trigger on quite a few figures this week while I was finding sales and deals. One of the ones I picked up was the 60th Action Soldier Infantry. Another banger. Out of the box I felt like he was a bit fiddly with all the packs and such, but the longer I mess with him the more I like him, and I really like the poncho look. I think I've got all the anniversary/legacy collection they've put out now and I really like every one of them. I'm glad folks here talked me into the Marine Sniper and this purchase sort of comes directly out of her ending up so satisfying.
 
When did they announce ninja Zartan? I missed that as well. Also, I've been asking for a Chameleon since the line started, so yay!

He was a name-only reveal a few months ago. I forget which stream/con it was.
I'm very excited for that one, myself. Love ninja Zartan for reasons even I don't understand.

I still find him very fiddly. One day I'm going to probably choose a loadout and just glue his shit down so that I can actually enjoy posing him.

I might've gotten lucky on mine but I feel I sort of figured out the expected loadout and haven't had much issue with him since. I feel like the diver was more fiddly with all his gear on.

The diver's gear definitely gets in the way a lot. He looks cool geared up, but I don't think he poses well geared up.
 
I was never likely to get the Arctic HISS anyway but goddamn, the fact that the US one comes out at around £150 while Pulse here are charging £220(!) for it just cemented it for me, they can get right in the bin with that shit. It's bad enough when they do the straight $1=£1 charging but to actually go even higher with it? Fuck. Off.
 
Just saw on Reddit that someone found Starduster at Ross. The finds there have been absolutely bonkers, meanwhile, I’ve never seen a Ross store in person in my life.
