(HASBRO | Ages 4 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $24.99 | Available: Summer 2024)

YO JOE! G.I. JOE is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. The brave members of G.I. JOE are prepared to seek out Cobra in any environment on the planet. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. JOE is there. The G.I. JOE Classified Series evolves the retro toy fans know and love into a highly articulated 6-inch (150 mm) scale with premium deco and detailing.

New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Cobra Eel comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. More than 70 percent of the Earth is covered by water, and Cobra Eels serve as the frontline aquatic infantry troopers of the Cobra forces. Emerging from the murky depths they spread terror and wreak havoc. This Cobra Eel figure features a classic deco and design of the Cobra Combat Diver that fans of the original 1980s G.I. JOE characters will love and 7 accessory pieces, including helmeted mask with breathing hoses and dive light detail, rebreather backpack with propulsion units, 2 fins, dive knife, speargun, and a figure stand inspired by the character’s rich history. The Cobra Eel figure comes on a blister pack card with design and character art inspired by the classic Real American Hero figure line that is perfect for display.

The Cobra Eel figure makes a great gift for lifelong fans of G.I. JOE toys or for anyone who loves action and adventure.
