Bravo, my loyal subjectssss! Bravo, indeed. You ssssuperior backers have spoken, leaving no room for doubt that the deco preferred for the Cobra H.I.S.S. Tactician action figure is Tactician Bravo! Its ssssleek red and black design perfectly complimentssss the Gunner and Driver figures.
What a month for G.I. Joe Classified! It looks like all of those shipping issues we have been having are starting to free up. Not only are we getting Serpentor but Dr. Mindbender and Sgt. Slaughter are on the way as well as Target Exclusives and rumors that the Zarana wave will be shipping soon as well.
We wanted to join in on the fun and post up a quick in-hand photo shoot for Serpentor, the cap stone of a banner year for G.I. Joe Classified. A well deserved shot out to the Hasbro G.I. Joe Team for hitting this one out of the park.
Check out our quick photo shoot of G.I. Joe Classified Series Serpentor with Air Chariot after the jump.

OPERATION:MONSTER FORCE
The Forgotten King has returned
Once a sorcerer pharaoh whose reign was so vile his name was erased from Egyptian history, the Forgotten King pursues a sinister agenda, gathering mystical artifacts from around the world for some unknown purpose. Every soldier sent to stop him is killed and re-animated into an undead zombie that is under the Forgotten King’s command.
Worried the Forgotten King’s rein of terror will not be able to be stopped the military enlists the help of monster hunter Declan Van Helsing. Seeing no other option, Declan goes against the Van Helsing family’s wishes and opens Tomb 13, freeing the worlds more powerful vampire…Count Dracula. His rationale – it may take a monster to bring down a monster.
And so, Operation: Monster Force is formed! Under Dracula’s direction, a unique vampire strike unit is created called “Delta Red,” whose undead condition makes them immune to the Forgotten King’s powers.
It’s a race against time for Dracula and Van Helsing to discover the Forgotten King’s hidden lair and destroy him before his mysterious plan reaches completion.
BigBadWorksop and Fresh Monkey Fiction proudly present Operation: Monster Force exclusively available at BigBadToyStore. Each 1:12th scale Operation: Monster Force action figure includes over 20 points-of-articulation and includes accessories such as: alternate portraits, interchangeable hands, plus an Operation: Monster Force gravestone base for easy posing and display!
Next up in our G.I. Joe Classified galleries is the Amazon exclusive Arctic Mission Storm Shadow. This is a play on the Ninja Force Storm Shadow deco from the 90s, right down to the white blocking on his navy blue torso. He also comes with a white ice pick (sickle) like the original. Sword, sheath, grapple hook and cord, bow, arrow and non-functional quiver are also included, so he is ready for action. The hood is removable exposing a sharp navy blue head wrap revealing just the eyes. I preferred it this way once in hand. Structurally – he was very loose. The torso bend and waist joint are floppy. Hips are a tad. Makes for some very insecure posing. Once you get it there, so long as you don’t try to fine tune much, he can stand though.
All in all a solid design, but I am eagerly waiting for a traditional Storm Shadow to take top billing on the shelf!
He is currently sold out, but has been randomly coming back in stock at Amazon for short bursts. Keep checking here and good luck!

Hasbro has just released the official update for the G.I. JOE Classified Series HasLab Cobra HISS Tactician fan vote. One vote per day, per backer. Voting ends Sunday, October 30, 2022 at 11:59 PM ET. Only backers who backed the project through Hasbro Pulse are eligible to vote. The winning color-scheme will be announced in November 2022.
G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES COBRA H.I.S.S. EARLY-BIRD FAN VOTE
Citizenssss of Earth, it’s been quite some time since we last spoke. Desssstro has been toiling away to mass-produce my fleet of G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra H.I.S.S vehiclessss. I understand he’s even enlisted Zartan and the Fatal Fluffies to incentivize the HasLab team to move a little faster. You should see the lash marks on their backssss.
But you and I have some unfinished business to discuss, my loyal ssssubjects. As you may recall, I promised that if the H.I.S.S. fully funded within the first week of the campaign, everyone backing would receive a sssspecial Early Bird figure – the H.I.S.S. Tactician inspired by the designssss of Ron Rudat. I’m not normally a fan of “voting” or “democracy” per sssse, but. since it is election sssseason, now is your chance to shine by choosing the color scheme of their uniforms.
Between now and October 30th each backer with a Hasbro Pulse account can vote once per day by logging into account they used to back the G.I. Joe Classified Series H.I.S.S. From there, the Siegies will put their accounting skills to good use tallying the results. I’ll unveil the winning design in November.
I must confesssss Cobra has had a bit of a recruitment problem of late, which is strange conssssidering what an equal opportunity employer we are. Our health care package is quite comprehenssssive. So be sure to choose the best possssssible design for the H.I.S.S. Tactician to inspire and build the ranks of Cobra’s troops. With their strategic skillssssss and stylish uniformsssss the H.I.S.S. Tacticians will help wipe the G.I. Joe forces off the face of the planet.

Update** 10/21/22 “Here’s a look at the prototype for Cobra Commander from the Pulsecon livestream. This was the first Cobra Commander I got to paint (thegreattonino Instagram) for the classified line and I couldn’t be happier with the way this figure came out. The sculpt is BEAUTIFUL! Big thanks to @weatherdominator and @morphinomenally_emily for letting me post these proto pics so you can get a glimpse of some of the work we do behind the scenes. Big fan of this shade of blue with that crimson red. And the “misprint” cobra logo seals the deal for me. Excited to get the real deal with my Hiss Tank!! This is a prototype so of course final product may vary.”
It’s the last day to back my mosssst monstrous and devasssstating machination yet! The G.I. Joe Classssssified Cobra H.I.S.S. #HasLab campaign ends tonight at 11:59pm ET! For thosssse of you who have already backed my incredible creation, I have a little treat. For the sssslackers out there still sitting on the fence, let thissss be a final incentive for action! It is I, #CobraCommander, in a most glorioussss colored render reveal of my action figure form! As a reminder, this ressssplendent reflection of me is inspired by the rare missssprinted variant of my original 1982 “Real American Hero” figure release in 6-inch scale, which will come in a Retro Cardback blisssster pack.
I chose to reveal thissss to you today so that you know I am watching you all! Especially those ssssniveling G.I. Joe goody two-shoessss who haven’t yet backed my H.I.S.S. project. Your time is running short, so don’t wasssste it!
Time is limited! This HasLab campaign will run until August 15, 2022.
