It’s been a year since we last heard from the official G.I. Joe Adventure Camp in Malaysia. Since then, their Facebook page has been closed down due to leaking upcoming G.I. Joe Classified Series characters.

After a massive backlash that nearly stopped the project from happening, the camp was slated to open back in Q4 2020. But the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic ensured that the construction of the park is halted until further notice. However, the official website of Club Sirocco is providing us with more images and info from this unlucky park.

Official Description:

G.I. Joe Adventure Camp

Knowing is Half the Battle.

Experience the military adventure that will be officially based on the toy franchise created by Hasbro, with inspiration from the comic book series and cartoon series of G.I. Joe. Entertain yourself with our mix of sports training, getting down and dirty, exciting gears, new friendship, and a ton of fun.

We have copious amounts of details and images for you. Check ’em out, after the jump.

Here we go again.  Time to take a look at one of the most recent figures to drop for the G.I. Joe Classified line – Major Bludd.  Another fantastic figure tied to the absolutely awful Target exclusive Cobra Island  campaign.  Technically, this figure has not even been announced yet.  He isn’t in most Target systems as existing.  And yet, stores are getting him and putting him out, randomly.  Assuming it’s going to be like the last rounds – each store will get a case, with no set date.  They’ll be gone soon after, or even before they hit shelves.  They may or may not get random restocks after that, with no way to know.   The store may or may not know wtf is going on with it.  Blah blah, cry a river.  I get it.  At this point, I did not even attempt to go looking, I just payed going price on eBay.  Between gas, time, and the pure concentrated rage I feel going in and out of Target looking for these things made it worth it.  Aside from exclusives that I have no choice for – not spending a dime at that store again.

ANYWAY, on to the figure.  It’s great!  G.I. Joe Classified has been awesome since launch, even the less than perfect releases are still good IMO.  Major Bludd is one of the really good ones though.  Fantastic head sculpt, gear and weaponry that touches the original in essence while upgrading for modern times.  Retro notes with the helmet, missile pistol, dog tags.  Even a touch with the MARS logo on his now fully robotic arm.   It’s just a great version for a core character, one that should have been available at mass retail first.

We’ve run him for a set of pics, both basic and hero shots after the break.  Read on to check it out!

Classified Series Duke, Scarlett, and Roadblock who received repaints a while back have now received their very own UPC Codes and Hasbro Codes to distinguish themselves from the originals.

Walmart has been updated recently with this new change. Several retailers also reported this info to us. The figures in question previously shared UPCs and Hasbro Codes with the originals, leading to confusion about what will be received when ordering the said figures.

In addition to the codes, the three figures are now officially named as ‘Field Variants‘.

Repainted Scarlett and Roadblock will be available through an assortment of Zartan (x2), Cobra Infantry (x2), Scarlett (x1), and Roadblock (x1).

Duke – Field Variant

  • 5010993931460
  • F5358

Scarlett – Field Variant

  • 5010993931484
  • F5359

Roadblock – Field Variant

  • 5010993931415
  • F5360

A new batch of code names belonging to the G.I. Joe Classified Series has been discovered by Anything Joes Twitter account.

  • Jupiter
  • Scorpio
  • Zenith
  • Meteor
  • Betelgeuse
  • Rigel
  • Europa
  • Centauri
  • Gamma

Anything Joes has this to say:

“New DPCI listings with “code words” found in the Target inventory system. All these listings share a DPCI with the regular release Classified series. Meteor is a code word also being utilized for the upcoming Retro Wave 4. What or who could these be?”

John Warden has announced that he and his team will take G.I. Joe under their wings along with Power Rangers and Ghostbusters.

But wait, there’s more. Hasbro’s design manager Leonard “Lenny” Panzica will also join Mr. Warden’s team to further develop the brand we know and love.

“Excited to announce that #GIJoe will be added to our team’s portfolio of brands along with #PowerRangers and #Ghostbusters. The talented Lenny will be joining our team! Awesome things on the Horizon… YO JOE!

-John Warden

It is encouraging to see G.I. Joe being taken up by someone with a wealth of experience when it comes to brand development. We congratulate the new team and wish them the best of luck for the future.

We have discovered a brand new listing of a novel series based on the popular G.I. Joe Classified line of action figures by Hasbro.

Titled as G.I. Joe: Classified (Book One), the first book of the series is planned to be released in August across multiple countries worldwide. Written by Jon Skovron, the artwork for the book is handled by none other than Phil Noto.

Official Description:

“In this action-packed series starter, a group of ordinary kids finds themselves facing extraordinary circumstances . . . and with the help of mentors like Duke, Scarlett, and Roadblock, they’ll find what it means to be a team, rise to the occasion, and save the day when nobody else can. A heart–pounding thrill ride from start to finish that will enthrall G.I. Joe fans and action-adventure readers alike.”

Writer Jon Skovron is the author of several Young Adult fantasy novels, including Misfit, Man Made Boy, and This Broken Wondrous World.

Artist Phil Noto is no stranger to the G.I. Joe franchise. Mr. Noto’s latest entry to G.I. Joe is the packaging artwork for G.I. Joe Classified Series Scarlett (news post image). We will likely see Duke, Roadblock, and many others in Phil Noto’s signature art style.

You can check out additional details about the new book, after the jump. Fans can check their local bookstore systems for the upcoming G.I. Joe: Classified Novel Series.
