Hasbro: 60th Anniversary of GI Joe begins with new Classified figure reveals!

Some great looking GI Joe Classified figures coming soon... especially that Doc and Torch.

From Hasbro Pulse:


Wherever there's trouble, G.I. Joe is there! We’re commemorating a diamond jubilee today: February 1st marks the anniversary of the debut of the Original Action Figure, G.I. Joe in 1964. In the 60 years since that historic launch, America’s moveable fighting man has come a long way and undergone some pretty drastic transitions. G.I. Joe Classified Series continues that storied tradition evolving the retro toy fans know and love into a highly articulated 6-inch scale with premium deco and detailing. We’ll be unveiling pipeline render reveals throughout the day in celebration of this historic Action Figure line. Yo Joe!



"What’s Up, Doc? Key to the longevity of the G.I. Joe franchise has been embracing the diversity of characters and roles of our Real American Hero. In keeping with that, Hasbro is proud to introduce into the Classified Series line beloved and fan-favorite Carl “Doc” Greer. This 6-inch scale-scale Doc figure comes packed with a full first aid kit: 11 character-inspired accessories including foldable stretcher that attaches to the figure’s back, alternate gloved hands, medical bag, removable pouches and holster, helmet, and his iconic green-tinted glasses. Doc is ready to patch up his fellow Joes and get them back into the field.

"Burning Down the House! What’s a hero without a competent (or in this case incompetent) villain? Completing a classic trio of stooges for your G.I. Joe Classified Series collection is Dreadnok Torch. This 6-inch scale Torch figure comes packed with 8 character-inspired accessories including flamethrower, fuel tank backpack, connecting hose, 2 weapon accessories, and multiple flame effects.
