under G.I. Joe Movie

Skydance Media, which co-financed and co-produced Transformers and G.I. Joe live-action movies for Paramount Pictures, is moving away from the big mountain in favor of Apple.

However, it is stated that Skydance Media will still retain the rights to co-produce and co-finance Transformers & G.I. Joe franchises. But the terms of that are unclear at the moment.

This move will likely put pressure on the Viacom subsidiary to seek out a new co-producer.

Skydance Media’s last outing with a movie based on a Hasbro property ended up in a financial disaster with Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins only raking in just $40 million worldwide against a production budget of $100 million.

under G.I. Joe Classified

Hasbro has updated retailers with 2022 offerings for their toylines and G.I. Joe is within the list.

While the majority of the Classified Series figures were discovered not too long ago, the following code names are new and HISSTANK is hard at work to decode the characters.

  • G.I. Joe Classified Series Figure Vesta (F4030 – 5010993982752) – Unknown
  • G.I. Joe Classified Series Figure Ceres (F4032 – 5010993982745) – Unknown
  • G.I. Joe Classified Series Figure Mimas (F4035 – 5010994100506) – Lt. Falcon

All three figures carry a Street Date of August 2022.

We are starting this year with a bang as cyber sleuth Jtprime17 reveals brand new Target listings for the 2022 G.I. Joe Classified Series lineup.

First up is Target Exclusive Tiger Force Duke, who comes with a vehicle as well.

A troop-builder pack is also listed along with two 2-Packs. ‘GIJ CS 2 pack Figure A’ with the Hasbro Code F4320 is none other than Croc Master with Fiona. ‘GIJ CS 2 pack Figure B’ remains a mystery (F4321 – G.I. Joe Classified Series Figure And Pet Ariel).

It is also interesting to note that a new Value Figures Assortment is also listed. It is unclear what this value pack is.

under G.I. Joe Classified, G.I. Joe Retro Line

It’s not too long ago that we discovered a shipping invoice containing a new Retro Line listing for the brand we know and love.

Today, HISSTANK investigations unearthed the actual Walmart Listing confirming several speculations we’ve had since the discovery of the two figures – Baroness and Lady Jaye.

According to the listing, the figures are not the 3.75 Modern Era or the O-Ring line; but a brand new 6-Inch Classified Series line.

Priced at $22.99, the figures are priced the same as G.I. Joe Classified Series. The product itself weighs the same as a Classified Series figure at 0.44 lbs each.

The only difference comes from the packaging dimensions, which as the name indicates, is a Cardback instead of a Box. To further confirm the matter, the dimensions approximately match Hasbro’s own 6-Inch Cardback line for Star Wars.

You can check out the listings via Walmart:

We expect the line to feature ARAH-inspired redecos.

under G.I. Joe Retro Line

HISSTANK is always on the lookout for brand new G.I. Joe listings. We’ve been discovering a lot of G.I. Joe Classified Series listings, but it’s about time we hear from G.I. Joe Retro Line too. It just so happens that two new G.I. Joe Retro Line listings popped up on the shipping & import website Panjiva.

According to the site, the characters are codenamed Mars and Rocket. Those who are in touch with decoding the infamous Hasbro codenames know that these two characters are none other than Baroness and Lady Jaye respectively.

However, their Hasbro Codes (F4762 for Baroness & F4765 for Lady Jaye) are completely new. Retro Baroness originally carried the code E9064, whereas Retro Lady Jaye originally carried the code F1004. These new Hasbro Codes suggest that we might see new or variant figures for 2022.

There are 4 figures each per casing. The shipping list also suggests that the figures are already here on the shores of the United States.

In addition to all that, code numbers also reveal one other fact: there are two more Retro Line figures in between F4762 and F4765. Hasbro usually has a habit of numbering figures of the same wave together. Since a typical Retro Line figure wave comes with 4 characters together, F4763 and F4764 are unaccounted for. It’s only a matter of time before we discover them too.

G.I. Joe Retro Line Wave 6 (& 7?) 2022

  • F462 – G.I. Joe Retro Cardback Figure Mars (Baroness)
  • F463 – Unknown
  • F464 – Unknown
  • F465 – G.I. Joe Retro Cardback Figure Rocket (Lady Jaye)

under G.I. Joe Classified, G.I. Joe Retro Line

Speaking to CBS Boston, Hasbro’s Chief Operating Officer Eric Nyman commented on the future of the G.I. Joe franchise.

“I think we’re going to continue to see Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow continuing to battle in future years,” says Mr. Nyman.

Toy experts had nothing but glowing reviews towards the brand we know and love.

“The 60s had your 12-inch Joes,” says Chad Julian of That’s Entertainment in Worcester. “The dolls, or though a lot of the guys don’t like to call them dolls, they’re action figures.”

“G.I. Joe was relaunched in the 80s in a totally different way,” says Nyman. “G.I. Joe vs Cobra, and Good and evil.”

“This was one of the first toy lines that really had a diverse cast of characters for kids to play with,” says James Zahn, the Senior Editor of The Toy Insider. “There were men. There were women. There were different ethnicities at play. That was something no one else was really doing at the time.”

“I think 1986 was when they released the USS Flagg, which was a 6-foot aircraft carrier,” says Julian. “It was probably the biggest toy ever for G.I. Joe. You could put 100 Joes and a full-sized plane on the aircraft carrier.”
