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.

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)

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.”

Operation HasLab
Throwback: the early 80s. The hair is high and so is the volume of the music coming out of the boombox speakers. You’ve just discovered the coolest cartoon ever made, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. You can’t get enough of it. Will the Joes finally be able to defeat Cobra once and for all?!? You’ll happily help the cause by setting up elaborate missions with your favorite action figures, played out in sandboxes, swimming pools, backyards, and bedrooms. The only thing missing from your epic adventures is the baddest combat jet known to any Joe: the Skystriker. It’s time to fulfill — or relive if you were one of the lucky ones — your childhood dreams.

That’s right. It’s the 21st century now and for G.I. Joe’s first ever HasLab we are bringing the afterburner-level heat and re-issuing the Skystriker with some awesome modern updates and incredible, exclusive unlocks. All to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Sure, the Skystriker has been done before (and it’s awesome every time) but never like this. Only with modern technology are we able evolve this classic combat jet by adding the most precise detail and design to bring it from the 80s to the FUTURE. Because the future is now.

The Skystriker isn’t the only incredible item you’ll be able to display in your G.I. Joe collection when you fund this HasLab. You’ll also get two o-ring figures with HasLab exclusive deco – Ace and Wayne Ruthel! The original fighter pilot, Ace, looks just as you remember him in a traditional deco scheme. And Wayne Ruthel has deco designed to call back to the original Skystriker packaging. If these two legendary action figures aren’t enough to blow your mind, we have even more to add!

You’ll be able to unlock up to 3 different tiers with even more exclusively decoed o-ring action figures and accessories, including Scarlett in a flight suit for the first time ever, Rip Cord in Night Force colors, and 2 Pit Crew members to man the runway vehicles. Fund this project today to start fighting for freedom wherever there’s trouble!

A while back, we reported that Disguise Costumes has manufactured Haloween costumes based on Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins movie. It so happens that the company has now released a Walmart Exclusive line of G.I. Joe-related Haloween costumes titled as ‘Retro Line‘.

We do not think that it’s a mere coincidence that the Walmart Exclusive line is called Retro Line when the toy counterpart is also named the same. However, the packaging is decorated with Classified Series Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

Each costume is priced at $19.97 and can be purchased via Walmart’s Official Website or at physical stores.
