G.I. Joe Classified March Madness 2025 Official Kick Off

Posted on February 7, 2025 at 9:23 am by DESTRO under Around The Site, G.I. Joe Classified, HissTank Community

Welcome to the official kick off to G.I. Joe Classified March Madness 2025 hosted by HissTank.com.

HissTank.com Board Members are invited to post your top 32 most wanted G.I. Joe and Cobra agents that have yet to made into G.I. Joe Classified action figures. There has been lots of talk about G.I. Joe and Cobra figures that people would prefer to be updated, while others prefer the classic look and feel of the ARAH designs.

This is your chance to tell Hasbro directly what versions of each figure you desire and what figures should take precedence in both design and desirability. We are asking board members to be specific when making your list of 32 for G.I. Joe Classified March Madness. If you want a POC designed over the classic design to be produced, note these character selections properly. No character is off the table!

We have had excellent success with our previous G.I. Joe March Madness winners for 25th Anniversary, Modern Era and G.I. Joe Classified figures because this list provides Hasbro with excellent direct market feedback. Every vote counts and we are asking everyone in the G.I. Joe Community to get involved! If there is a figure you want to see get produced let Hasbro know!

Use the thread attached to this news post to nominate 16 Cobra agents and 16 G.I. Joe team members to face off in our yearly G.I. Joe March Madness polls.

Before you make your list please check this news (G.I. Joe Classified Check List) post to view all of the up coming G.I. Joe Classified action figures that have been announced to-date.

G.I. Joe Classified 2024 MEGA Gallery – Every Figure In One Shoot!

Posted on January 27, 2025 at 3:03 pm by Tony_Bacala under G.I. Joe Classified, Photo Shoots

Big one today – making up for a whole year of G.I. Joe galleries in one shot! Inside you will find a MEGA photo shoot for every single G.I. Joe Classified 2024 figure, all in one place (HOPEFULLY I DIDN’T MISS ANY). I’ve been a bit busier over the last couple years, so my photography time is limited. And last year, I thought that would change, so I didn’t open any as they came in, holding for the eventual photo session. Well, December 2024 came and – hadn’t opened any (except a couple randos I had doubles for). So, decided to crack the entire year open all at once, and then photograph them, all at once. We’ve included a new “Class of” pic to match the ones from previous years, and done up a new poster for this year as well. Read on to check it all out, plus some quick thoughts!

Make sure to share your thoughts for 2024 as a whole over on the HissTank Forums!
