G.I.Joe Classified Series Official Product Photography And Details

Earlier today, Hasbro dropped their latest round of preorders that were showcased at New York Toy Fair. As such, I’ve collected all the details on each figure (excluding preorder links) in one easy to view page. Read on below for official product photgraphy and details for the Cobra-La Royal Guard, Zartan, Airtight, Hydro Viper, Sundown and Overkill.

G.I.JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES #191, COBRA-LA ROYAL GUARD
Preorder date – Tuesday, February 17th at 1pm EST

The elite Cobra-La Royal Guard joins the G.I. Joe Classified Series, bringing the monstrous protectors of Golobulus into the modern era.

Inspired by the Cobra-La Royal Guard as seen in G.I. Joe: The Movie, updated for the G.I. Joe Classified Series. 
 
Code Name: Cobra-La Royal Guard

Let the web of remembrance tell the tale:

Bred and surgically enhanced for size, strength, and endurance, the royal guards of Cobra-La are responsible for the personal protection of Golobulus, supreme leader of the hidden valley and last descendant of the serpent kings. Encased from head to foot in bioorganic armor, Cobra-La Royal Guard are impervious to any ordnance up to a High-Explosive Anti-Tank round. Although formidable in battle, the guards tend to be tactically unimaginative and are relatively useless without close supervision.

“There was an attempted coup in Cobra-La around the time when the Emperor Hadrian was building his wall. Five hundred irate noblemen stormed the inner sanctum of Golobulus’ summer palace and were confronted by twenty royal guards. Golobulus slept through the entire incident. One guard was slightly wounded. Of the five hundred noblemen, there were no survivors.  

New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Cobra-La Royal Guard comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Cobra-La Royal Guard figure contains 12 character-inspired accessory pieces, including 2 wings, 2 helmeted and 1 unmasked alternate heads, a spear, removable shoulder armor, swapable bioorganic arm blade gauntlets, a sword, and a weapon accessory; plus a removable softgoods cape.

  • 12 accessory pieces inspired by G.I. Joe: The Movie, including wings, alternate heads, armor, and weapons.

Code Name: Zartan 
File Name: Unknown (aliases too numerous to list) 
Primary Specialty: Infiltration 
Secondary Specialty: Sabotage 
Birthplace: Unknown 

Zartan is a mysterious human chameleon whose secrets of deception have never been fully revealed. Is he simply a master of disguise, a manipulator of masks and makeup, or does he employ holograms to aid in his deceptions? Many have given sworn statements that Zartan can actually change his skin color at will to blend in with his environment. As dubious as some of these claims are, there is no doubt that he is a gifted impersonator, ventriloquist, linguist (over twenty languages), acrobatic contortionist and a master of several mystic martial arts. Very little is known of his background and origins though he occasionally works with his siblings, twins Zandar and Zarana, and is the leader of the Dreadnoks who are believed to have a secret hideout deep in the Florida Everglades.

“There’s nothing more amusing than becoming somebody else, and then asking your friends what they think of you.”

Classified Dossier

Code Name: Airtight
File Name: Schnurr, Kurt
Primary Specialty: CBR (Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Warfare)
Secondary Specialty: Ordnance
Birthplace: New Haven, CT 

Kurt was the kid who could hold his breath the longest. He was also the kid who had the largest collection of plastic dinosaurs on the block. He was a weird kid who grew up to be an even stranger adult. It takes a mighty weird person to walk into a cloud of toxic gas strong enough to fell a mutant weight-lifter cockroach wearing a protective suit built under contract for the government by the lowest bidder.

“Airtight is an unreformed practical joker; sneezing powder, plastic barf, whoopee cushion—the whole bit! No prank is too low for him. You’d think the other Joes would hate his guts, but they don’t. Because when the bad guys escalate the fire fight and start playing dirty, it’s old Airtight who suits up and wades into the thick of it.”

With no restrictions on experimentation and no lack of volunteers Dr. Mindbender and Professor Rottclaw have improved upon Cobra’s past attempts to create a squadron of amphibious commandoes able to breath both air and water. Hydro-Vipers are qualified Cobra Eels (Combat Divers) surgically altered to withstand nitrogen narcosis and other side effects of deep diving, making them elite underwater troopers. Synthetic webs are implanted between their fingers and subcutaneous fat production is stimulated by chemical injections to provide natural insulation. Despite the successful conversion process, the long-term effect of these procedures is known to be psychologically destabilizing.

Code name: Sundown
File name: Luna Mendoza, Alejandro Balam
Primary specialty: bounty hunter
Secondary specialty: tracker
Birthplace: xalapa, mexico 

Alejandro Balam Luna Mendoza and his twin brother Salvador Ramon overcame numerous challenges in Xalapa after drug kingpin Headman and the Lords of the Underworld cartel killed their professional ballplayer father before they were even born. Raised by their mother in the home of their grandparents, they grew out among the mountains and trees hunting birds. Although both vowed to take down those ruled by greed and pride, each brother chose a different path in this quest.

Sundown honed his skills serving in the Fuerzas Especiales throughout Mexico, while his brother became a lawyer and politician bent on rooting out corruption in local government. Salvador quickly ran afoul of Headman who kidnapped him. Now Sundown uses his skills and natural tracking abilities as a bounty hunter allied with G.I. Joe. Sundown stalks his quarry through the darkened streets, arid desserts, crossroads, and dense jungles of his homeland seeking justice and looking for evidence of his brother. Intent on taking down Headman and the other heads of the Lords of the Underworld before he and his brother lose theirs, he is relentless in his pursuit.

Classified Dossier 

Code Name: Cobra Overkill

File Name: Classified
Primary Specialty: B.A.T. (Battle Android Trooper) Commander
Secondary Specialty: Battlefield Tactics
Birthplace: Unknown  

Overkill began as an experimental prototype melding a Battle Android Trooper with a human host: a trooper who ran afoul of a Cobra war game training exercise. It just made sense to make him the leader of an entire unit of android troopers since more than fifty percent of his body has been replaced by mechanical parts. He is also equipped with integral body armor and a self-contained breathing unit. His vison has been enhanced with image intensifiers and infrared scanners. A targeting computer is hard wired between his right eye and trigger finger. Having command of a small army of mindless robots has affected his mind (along with the PTSD of his procedure), making him overly sentimental and protective of his “troops.” Overkill sees them as individuals and given them secret names, picking out some for special attention.
