Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios This is a saying that plays well right now. I feel like I am overlooking uncertainty, but for good reason. I feel like I am looking past rising G.I.Joe Classified prices and at other lines, doing my best to see the good in some figures when I am kind of like, “Meh.” 2026 has been such a whiplash from 2025 that I feel like I am in a neck brace. I understand that there are a ton of factors playing into the state…
Read MoreToday’s Yo Joe June livestream kept the Classified Series momentum rolling, and Week 3 came loaded with the kind of reveals that make collectors start clearing shelf space and checking preorder links. Hasbro gave fans fresh looks, new renders, and more reasons to believe this line is still firing on all cylinders. The big buzz coming out of the stream centered around names like Flash, Falcon, Valkyrie, Rugged Duke, the Legacy Avalanche Response, and Dusty with Sandstorm. That mix hits exactly what makes G.I. Joe work: classic nostalgia, deep-cut army-building…
Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios We all know the DIC episodes of the G.I. Joe IP are atrocious and an affront to the senses of all G.I. Joe fans. It’s as craptacular as anything to hit the airwaves on a dial TV. From the opening entrance song, to the music, to the plots, to the horrendous voice acting, it fucking sucked. But. They slid into the frame two-plus years after the movie ended, and there were some unanswered questions. There were also a lot of new figures that…
Read MoreHector Ramirez, the intrepid reporter created by Buzz Dixon for Sunbow animation, may be the one character who ties together Transformers, G.I. Joe, Jem, Inhumanoids, and even My Little Pony. Appearing across multiple Hasbro animated worlds, Hector becomes more than just a recurring newsman—he becomes a bridge between the mythologies of 1980s action figures and cartoons. In this companion to The Mythology of G.I. Joe: Sunbow Edition and The Mythology of Transformers, we explore how one reporter may connect the entire Sunbow universe. WATCH BELOW AND BE SURE TO LIKE…

Read MoreCLICK HERE TO ORDER YOURS! If your G.I. Joe Classified Series Buzzer is still standing on the shelf with his weapons scattered around like a busted-up Dreadnok garage sale, SYS 3D Arsenal has the perfect upgrade. The Mission Crate: Large Dreadnok Buzzer #106 is a 1:12 scale crate built specifically with Buzzer in mind, giving his weapons and accessories a clean, mean, mission-ready home.

Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios When I was a Joe-obsessed kid in the 1980s, I wanted Joes in all forms. So when the sub-teams started to roll out, like Tiger Force and Night Force in 1988, I was excited to get more Joes. But I was also sort of meh on the idea of having some bangers wrapped in tiger striping. It was an instant love-hate relationship with Tiger Force. Night Force was a Toys “R” Us exclusive, and I didn’t get out there much, but they looked…
Read MoreYo Joe June rolled into Week 2 with another solid GI. Joe Classified Series drop, and this one hit both the old-school sweet spot and the vehicle shelf.

International collectors are expected to find them through Fan Channel retailers. Hasbro also used the stream to move last week’s digital renders into in-hand territory, giving fans a better look…

Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios One of the crazy parts of G.I. Joe collecting as a kid in the ’80s was that you were largely clueless as to what you were getting and when. I shopped almost exclusively at Kay Bee Toys, but I would also hit up places like Toys “R” Us, Caldor, Kmart, and the CVS down the block from my house. CVS was wicked overpriced, but if I copped a few bucks from doing chores or yard work for neighbors, I wouldn’t have to ask…

Spirit and Storm Shadow go one-on-one in a duel that begs the question – is THIS the greatest rivalry in G.I. Joe? Zartan plays everyone for fools and it all comes down to another Miracle on Ice!
Read MoreBy Destro Designs & Viper Den Studios The first time I rolled up on a G.I. Joe Cobra Surveillance Port, it was at a garage sale in a neighborhood with fancy houses. My mom has always been thrifty, and in the ’80s, before the internet and sites like eBay, you could always talk a price down. Without the data of what an item was selling for elsewhere, people would just go off what they paid and then depreciate the value. It was a win-win for the buyer. So when I…
