Hiya Toys has just announced the next figure in their Exquisite Mini G.I. Joe line-up Beachhead!
Now Beachhead joins Hiya Toys EXQUISITE MINI Series.
No one has ever seen Beachhead (aka Wayne Sneeden) snap. He thinks anger is a waste of time and energy that results in loss of logic. On a mission or off, he is rarely seen in public without his balaclava mask, a choice he made in order to seem more imposing. His combination of patience and thirst for excellence make him both an elite ranger and a formidable teacher, and his meticulously thought-out weapon designs and gear mods are remarkable for their insight and precision.
A legend among G.I. Joe rookies for his unflinching training methods (he expects as much out of his trainees as he expects from himself), he may not be universally loved, but he’s universally respected. Sneeden’s hardened outlook extends to missions as well; he delights in squatting in festering jungles for days at a stretch to wait for the perfect moment ambush the enemy.
The Beachhead Action Figure is a fully articulated collectible, stands at 4.1inches tall, featuring 19 points of articulation. With a brand new base body, it allows for extensive and dynamic posing, recreate a variety of combat stances. Equipped with a range of weapons, comes with accessories such as a crossbow, submachine gun, and tactical backpack. Knife and handgun holds on legs can be individually removed. Additionally, the figure includes interchangeable hand parts, allowing you to display different styles and gestures. Included with the figure is an exclusive base, enabling you to recreate an authentic battlefield atmosphere right in the comfort of your own home!
Release time: 2023Q4
Price: 24.99USD

“We’re not just trying to make a good game – we’re trying to make the most exciting and fully realized embodiment of G.I. Joe that the world has ever seen!”
Atomic Arcade has posted an interview with their Senior Narrative Designer, Brandon Jerwa, for their upcoming game G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.
“There was a story in place when I got here; it’s evolved in many ways, but it was a strong foundation to start with.
When Ames (GI Joe Snake Eyes Creative Director) explained it the first time, I thought he was pranking me. There were more than a few ideas and characters that came from my writing in the comics! It was really validating and a very pleasant surprise, because I wasn’t expecting that at all.
But what I really loved was how they imagined a version of G.I. Joe that embraces so many different aspects of the brand. Not just my stuff, not just one particular comic or movie or cartoon – EVERYTHING is fair game for inspiration!
I think the fans who really know the franchise are going to be shocked when they see all the toys we’re playing with here…but don’t worry, they’ll still be the characters that you know and love.”
Brandon Jerwa is an American comic book writer and musician residing in Seattle, Washington. Mr. Jerwa’s comic book career began in 2003, when he submitted a script to Devil’s Due Publishing that was accepted, and was eventually published in G.I. Joe: Frontline #11–14. Soon afterward, he became the main writer of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and also wrote several G.I. Joe miniseries.
