By Adam Jared | Serpentor’s Lair In an exclusive Serpentor’s Lair interview, legendary voice actor Neil Ross looks back on the unlikely audition that created one of G.I.

When G.I. Joe Version 2 Figures Were Better Than the Originals — And When They Absolutely Sucked

  By Destro Designs — Viper Den Studios Just like movies, sequels to figures can really be a letdown. Sometimes G.I. Joe Version 2 figures took everything great about an original character and somehow made it even better. Other times, Hasbro took an absolutely iconic design and followed it up with something that made you wonder what the hell happened. And there may be no better example of that than the Snow Serpent. Snow Serpent V2 — How Do You Follow an All-Time Classic With This? The original 1985 Cobra…

CONFIRMED: Bradley Cooper Is Duke in Danny McBride’s New G.I. Joe Movie!

YO JOE! One of the biggest G.I. Joe casting rumors of 2026 has officially become reality. Bradley Cooper has been cast as Conrad “Duke” Hauser in Paramount Pictures’ upcoming G.I. Joe movie, putting one of Hollywood’s most recognizable leading men at the head of America’s daring, highly trained special mission force. The news is especially exciting here at Serpentor’s Lair, because we were following this story months before the casting became official. Back on July 21, we reported that Bradley Cooper was being pursued for the role of Duke after…

Sub-Teams Part IV: D.I.R.E. Tech

My final installment in this series of G.I. Joe sub-team articles hits today. The Hasbro team has done such an excellent job creating new characters that fit so well into the lore while also turning out to be outstanding figures. I absolutely love it. Wolf Spider is my favorite new figure, but there are plenty of great ones. When it comes to the D.I.R.E. Tech crew, though, there’s also some reuse of older parts and designs—and it works incredibly well. When Crystal Ball first came out, I was a little…

Sub Teams Part 4: Night Force

By Destro Designs-Viper Den Studios Everyone knows how I feel about Python Patrol, especially after the previous article. It’s an incredible extension of the Cobra side of the battle and is super indicative of Cobra itself. But without question, my number one favorite G.I. Joe sub-team is Night Force. The team itself is based around a super-elite squad that handles the things that go bump in the night. They conduct operations so important and so sensitive that they have to use the cover of darkness. Bane can think he owns…

Put Down That Bag of Bricks

By Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios My brother Mark Fogarty dropped a video today chronicling the story of how his channel became Destro Is My Spirit Animal. It’s a very personal, revealing story, and I give him a ton of props for having the courage to share it. And here’s why. In this incredible community we have on Twitter, one of the things that makes us so cohesive—and makes this such a great place to be—is that openness is rewarded with positivity and encouragement. It’s a huge thing in…

Sub-Teams Part 3: Python Patrol

By Destro Designs and Viper Den Studios G.I. Joe Python Patrol is probably the sub-team that nails the concept in such a fantastic way. Cobra is already such a crazy-awesome name for the bad guys, and it has one of the coolest symbols in all the land. So, in order to have a sub-team worthy of Cobra, I feel like staying within the snake family is the best way to go. A python is deadly as hell and has a rather unique pattern—even among a species filled with unique patterns.…

The Terminator Belongs in the G.I. Joe Classified Universe — and Marvel’s G.I. Joe #153 Already Showed Us How

The G.I. Joe Classified Series has reached the point where almost anything feels possible. Hasbro has taken characters that once existed as colorful 3¾-inch figures and transformed them into highly detailed 6-inch collectibles packed with weapons, alternate parts, and modern military styling. If Classified ever decides to explore a true crossover, there may be no franchise better suited for Cobra than The Terminator. And strangely enough, G.I. Joe already gave us a blueprint for how it could work. Look back at Marvel Comics’ G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #153,…
