YO JOE! It's a merry Anniversary for these soldiers of action, having started back in 1964, years before the Real American Hero toy line in the 80s.
Hasbro and the Joe Team have provided us with several digital reveals. Let's see what they have in store for us this year:
We have the Mainline releases to show off first.
Carl "Doc" Greer. The G.I. Joe Chief medic. Since he's taken the Hippocratic Oath, he's not a fighter. That firing weapon you see is a flare gun. A stretcher to carry any injured Joes on the battlefield. With some Tylenol pill bottles around his helmet, this doctor is ready to save you from hurting your hands from handling toys.
Put away your sticks and paper, boys, because Dreadnok Torch has been let loose on Classified. Armed with his skull-headed flamethrower, dual pistols, and some spicy flame effects, you hope you don't burn yourself when putting him on a fiery display photo.
Deadly and swift, here comes the Night Creepers! A mercenary group trained in counterintelligence and covert ops, they get contracted out by Cobra, because their forces just suck at it right now. You know the old saying, "Never send a Dreadnok to do a ninja's job"? Well, it's not old. I made it up, but that should be a saying they should subscribe to.
With her training now complete, the heir to the Arashikage clan is here to fight off corrupted forces within the clan itself. Kim "Jinx" Arashikage is coming to the Classified line. With her naginata and sword in hand, she can use it while also being blindfolded, which makes her a harder foe to defeat!
Now comes some more double feature offerings.
Tiger Force is coming out of the jungle with these 2 striped soldiers on hand. Tiger Force Tripwire and Roadblock are coming soon. With Roadblock's signature Browing machine gun on hand, and a new backpack accessory, one wonders if a Retro release will be possible from this offering. Tripwire comes with M.A.C.E.L.O.D, also deco'd with a nasty animal face, growling at mines from daring to explode. No mouse for him though. Or the extra vests and helmet. Guess you got to keep the price down for this 2 pack when one of them was a 35.99 deluxe release.
And with the final offering today, we have one more Dreadnok for you to poach. This hunter hunts big game animals, and now he's being called in to hunt some Joes in his territory: the desert! Gnawgahyde (Gnaw-Gah-hyde) is going to be a Figure plus Pet release. But he just ain't coming with his trusty boar, Porkbelly. We have a little monkey companion (a macaque), Yobbo, to come along for the thrills. Never trust a monkey with an eyepatch, guys, no matter how cute it is.
What reveals, huh? Hopefully, they'll go up for pre-order sooner than later.
What do you think about these reveals, fellow Allsparkers? Getting hyped for the 60th Anniversary? Let us know in our Discord, Transformers forum, our Twitter, or our Facebook group!
