G.I. Joe: Now & Forever

BURNING RUNWAY: SNAKE EYES THROUGH THE FIRESTORM Shining the spotlight on amazing creators in the G.I. Joe: Now & Forever Community – @joefontes.actions The blast hits like a sunrise gone wrong—orange, violent, swallowing the horizon. Snake Eyes doesn’t look back. He stays low on the bike, silent and steady, cutting through the smoke while a shadow of steel screams overhead. One wrong second and that fireball becomes a wall. One right second and he’s gone—just a black silhouette slipping through the chaos like it was planned. That’s what makes @joefontes.actions so strong: the scale feels huge, the heat feels real, and the speed reads instantly. The framing keeps Snake Eyes locked as the anchor while the background turns into pure motion—explosion bloom, depth, and that perfect “incoming” menace above. It’s a full-on action beat captured in one clean, cinematic moment. Follow @joefontes.actions for more high-impact G.I. Joe photography that feel like a lost frame from an 80s war film. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. #GIJoe #GIJoeClassified #ToyPhotography #ActionFigures #Collectors

WELCOME NINJA FORCE ZARTAN TO THE G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES — The master of disguise returns with a dangerous new edge. Ninja Force Zartan slithers into the G.I. Joe Classified Series with the kind of wild-card energy that only he can bring. One of Cobra’s most unpredictable operatives, Zartan has always thrived in chaos — striking from the shadows, deceiving his enemies, and turning every mission into a trap. This new release takes that menace and pushes it into full Ninja Force territory. Blending stealth, attitude, and that unmistakable 90s flair, Ninja Force Zartan feels like a bold evolution of one of G.I. Joe’s most legendary villains. From the sharp new look to the deep arsenal of gear, this version captures the idea of Zartan as a silent ninja hunter — one who can disappear into the darkness and reappear exactly where Cobra needs him most. The packaging captures that energy beautifully, with the black-and-red presentation, the striking Ninja Force branding, and Zartan framed behind the window like a threat waiting to be unleashed. It feels dangerous, stylish, and completely fitting for Cobra’s master of disguise. For Classified collectors, this is the kind of release that adds personality, nostalgia, and a fresh take on a fan-favorite character. It brings one of the line’s most unpredictable villains into a new chapter while still staying true to everything that makes Zartan such an icon. Welcome to the Classified Series, Ninja Force Zartan — did you add him to your shelf? Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. #GIJoe #GIJoeClassified #HasbroPulse #GIJoeCollector #YoJoe

CANOPY CHAOS: HIT & RUN UNDER HUNT Shining the spotlight on amazing creators in the G.I. Joe: Now & Forever Community – @ropers_room The jungle doesn’t explode—it breathes. Wet leaves shiver. Mud pops under pressure. Then the ridge line breaks open as Hit & Run throws himself into the gap, shoulder-first, boots skimming stone. He’s not retreating—he’s relocating, turning a kill box into a runway. One hand clamps his gear, the other digs for balance, and every ounce of momentum becomes armor. Behind him, the Grim Viper doesn’t rush. It hunts. A dark silhouette threaded through vines and smoke, weapon up, eyes locked, tracking the sound of impact and the trail of churned earth. The Viper’s muzzle flash stutters through the brush like lightning in a storm, and rounds tear into bark where Hit & Run was a heartbeat ago. Close enough to taste. Too late to finish. @ropers_room captures the exact second everything goes sideways—debris in the air, motion in the pose, and that perfect “predator in the background” tension that makes the scene feel alive.

WELCOME SNAKE SUPREME COBRA COMMANDER TO THE G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES — The throne has finally arrived. Snake Supreme Cobra Commander may be a past release, but adding this one to the shelf now still feels like a major Cobra moment. This is not just another version of Cobra Commander — this is the Commander turned all the way up, wrapped in ceremony, ego, power, and the kind of over-the-top menace that only Cobra’s supreme leader could pull off. Cobra Commander has always been the face of Cobra: ruthless, theatrical, paranoid, brilliant, and completely obsessed with control. This release captures that side of him perfectly. The regal presentation, the ornate packaging, the gold detailing, the cape, the throne-style display, and the serpent-inspired design all make this feel like Cobra Commander at his most dangerous and self-important. The packaging gives the entire release a premium, almost ceremonial feel. Opened up on display, it looks less like a standard figure box and more like Cobra propaganda brought to life — the kind of presentation you would expect from a villain who believes the world should kneel before him. For Classified collectors, Snake Supreme Cobra Commander is one of those unique releases that adds personality, presence, and pure Cobra royalty to the shelf. It is bold, dramatic, and completely fitting for the man who never needed subtlety to make his point.

Tony Colella is officially leaving Hasbro for a new journey with Boss Fight Studio — and it marks yet another major shift for the creative team behind one of the most celebrated eras in G.I. Joe history. For collectors, this hits hard. The Classified Series didn’t become a worldwide phenomenon by accident. It took passionate creators, artists, designers, and people who genuinely understood what G.I. Joe meant to generations of fans. Tony was part of that foundation. Alongside the rest of the team, he helped build a line that reignited excitement across the community and brought many longtime fans back into the hobby in a massive way. As the creator of G.I.

G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT: ZANDAR Code Name: Zandar File Name: Classified Primary Specialty: Covert Movement / Camouflage Secondary Specialty: Silent Weapons & Recon Birthplace: Classified Zandar is the shadow behind the shadow—the unseen presence operating just beyond perception. A master of camouflage, infiltration, and silent movement, he specializes in becoming invisible long before the mission even begins. Where others rely on speed or force, Zandar relies on absence. If he’s doing his job right, you never knew he was there at all. Overshadowed for most of his life, Zandar turned anonymity into a weapon. Years of being ignored, overlooked, and forgotten shaped his approach to the battlefield. He doesn’t demand attention—he eliminates it. This psychological edge allows him to move through environments undetected, blending into surroundings with unnatural stillness and precision. Like his brother Zartan, Zandar possesses the rare ability to alter his skin tone, enhancing his already formidable camouflage capabilities. Combined with his expertise in silent weapons and long-duration concealment, he becomes one of Cobra’s most effective infiltration operatives—perfect for reconnaissance, sabotage setup, and pre-strike positioning. From a display standpoint, Zandar excels in stealth-driven scenes—jungle cover, urban night ops, rooftop overwatch, or hidden-in-plain-sight dioramas. He adds a subtle but deadly presence that rewards attention to detail in any Classified setup. Legacy Status: Master of invisibility and covert movement who weaponizes anonymity itself. You won’t hear him… You won’t see him… And by the time you realize he was there— It’s already over. #GIJoe #GIJoeClassifiedSeries #GIJoeCommunity #ActionFigures #HasbroToyPic

G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED DECEPTION FILES: DREADNOK ZARTAN’S FACE VAULT Shining the spotlight on amazing creators in the G.I. Joe: Now & Forever Community – @themassdevice The lights are low, the air is cold, and the “trophies” on the wall aren’t medals… they’re identities. Zartan leans over the workbench like a crime boss with a costume department—gloved hands planted, eyes burning, already deciding who he will become when the mission goes live. Zartan is dangerous because he doesn’t need firepower—he just needs the right face, the right voice, and one perfect moment to make everyone obey the wrong orders. @themassdevice absolutely owns the mood here—tight focus on Zartan’s stare, that shadowy lair lighting, and a killer backdrop of swapped heads and hidden personas that instantly sells “Master of Disguise.” It’s creepy, clever, and so on-brand for the Dreadnoks’ most dangerous infiltrator. FOLLOW @themassdevice for top-tier G.I. Joe storytelling—cinematic setups, smart details, and toy photography that feels like classified intel captured mid-mission.

WELCOME ZANYA AND THE DREADNOK CHAMELEON TO THE G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES — The next generation of Dreadnok chaos has arrived. Zanya storms into the G.I. Joe Classified Series with the kind of attitude, speed, and danger that proves she is more than just Zartan’s daughter — she is a Dreadnok force all her own. Armed with grit, rebellion, and a taste for destruction, Zanya brings a fresh edge to Cobra’s wildest faction. Paired with the Chameleon swamp skier, this release feels built for high-speed ambushes, backwater raids, and hit-and-run strikes across the most dangerous terrain on the battlefield. The Chameleon gives Zanya exactly what every Dreadnok needs: something loud, fast, unstable, and absolutely perfect for causing trouble. The box art captures that energy beautifully, with Zanya tearing across the swamp, weapon raised, debris flying, and the Chameleon cutting through the chaos like a Dreadnok war machine. It is reckless, aggressive, and completely in character. For Classified collectors, this is the kind of release that expands the Dreadnok shelf in a major way. It adds legacy, personality, vehicle presence, and another dangerous piece of the Zartan family tree to the line.

G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES MOST WANTED — BLIZZARD Blizzard would bring something the G.I. Joe Classified Series always benefits from — environmental specialization with real shelf impact. Arctic figures hit differently when they are done right, and Blizzard has all the makings of a standout release. The cold-weather gear, the snow-ready color palette, the survival equipment, and the sense that he was built for the harshest battlefield conditions give him a presence that instantly separates him from standard troop releases. He looks like a mission-specific Joe, and that kind of identity always makes a figure stronger. What makes Blizzard especially appealing is the atmosphere he carries. He feels like the kind of character that expands the world of G.I. Joe just by existing. The second you see him, you are not thinking about a generic soldier — you are thinking frozen terrain, hostile conditions, and a specialist sent where few others can operate. That is the kind of character work that can make a Classified figure feel larger than just its accessories. A Blizzard release also opens the door to some incredible visual storytelling on the shelf. Snow ops, arctic teams, cold-weather dioramas, and winter mission displays all get stronger with a character like this in the mix. He is more than a figure — he is world-building. Blizzard feels like one of those releases that could quietly become essential the moment collectors see him in Classified form. Would Blizzard be a day-one preorder for you?
