Target Fall Geek Out

[toynewman]

Shown below via G.I.Jay is a look at some new unannounced G.I. Joe Classified Series Python Patrol Figures featuring Trubble Bubble and Televiper, a Cobra Trooper and Copperhead from Hasbro that are popping up in Target's system. As always stay tuned and nothing is official until it's official!

[McYote]

Love the red dome on the trouble bubble. Makes it look more “cobra-y” than the regular clear one, and I like how it looks like the Televiper is wearing overalls. Copperhead and the trooper look nice too!

Target's Fall Geek Returns! Start now is Week 4 which features pre-orders for Target Fall Geek Out Week 4: Hasbro G.I. Joe Classified Series Target Exclusive Python Patrol Figures featuring Python Patrol Versions of the Trubble Bubble, Cobra Trooper Officer and Copperhead!

is there two versions of this type trooper ? or is this the only way to get that one ? ( I know there is the other one that uses the officer body)

[Frozentenderloin]

I really dig the way the Cobra officer looks. The green and gray contrast looks really cool. I don’t tend to like the Python patrol/ tiger force versions of characters, but I may pick up the officer.

I don't get who thought this was a good design choice. The colour pallette is awful 

[MagnaPrime]

Now give me a Crimson guard style teouble bubble and televised for my fleet

[Roadpigmaster]

I have to buy them all... 3 or 4 officers, 2 Tele Viper's and one Copperhead

[Lord_Scareglow]

Copperhead and Tele-Viper look horrid in this Deco, And still Tele-Viper has to come with Trubble Bubble, I still want a Tele-Viper but I'm not a Vehicle collector so it isn't worth it, but anyways doesn't matter since it looks awful, Cobra Officer looks the best out of this bunch but I'm trying to avoid re-decos, since at this point you can literally just have a whole shelf of variants and I'm getting bored of that, maybe maybe if I see the Cobra Officer for a reduced price I'd bite, wish they'd just do a single release for Tele-Viper in the regular Deco.

[Satam]

It's arguable whether Copperhead and the Tele-Viper look good or bad. What's not is that their decos are almost exactly the same as their Python Patrol counterparts from the '80s line. Wouldn't have expected anything less.

I actually like them, because of the likeness with the original  89 figures  man... I will get them

[MRT]

Not a fan of these colors but I hope next time they re-release the cobra trooper, he comes with both heads/masks option as well.

This Cobra officer is the trooper... The green one is the real Officer. They will not match the ARAH versions

Why won't they match?  Style thing or something else?

In the 80s line, the one with the green shirt was the Trooper and the one with the black shirt was the Officer. For some reason, in classified they’re both called the Officer. It’s always been kinda weird, cuz in the 80s line the PP Trooper used the Blue Officer sculpt and the PP Officer used the Blue Trooper sculpt. It appears the black shirt one is the officer in classified, since he included the shoulder rank thingy.

I bought 2 officers and 1 Copperhead. I actually passed on the first Coppedhead in hopes they’ll make this one lol! Python Patrol was my first crack and those characters as a kid so I’m biased lol

Good assumption but in Classified they are on reverse no matter the mold clarification you mentioned man... I already bought one of the green ones so I will get 3 or 4 of the black ones they just posted on Target

They're not exactly reversed. Both the officer and trooper are labeled "Officer." The Classified team was trying to fix the error made back in the '80s, but they compounded it instead. They acknowledged the mistake but it wasn't caught in time to fix it.

Yeah I got one green one to be the “officer” and two black ones to be his minions, and I’ll be using one with each head 

[JoeCommander]

Loving the troopers. Ordered a few of those on Pulse.
I hope they’ll eventually get to making a regular trooper on this body. By that, I mean the classic blue duds with red chest insignia.

They already did. Back in 2021.

Ah yea I guess not the actual body; I meant more like the boots, gloves, harness, belt, head. Though I wouldn’t mind the the mainline Officer’s upper torso either.

I wouldn’t mind some regular blue Troopers with Tan gear to match the Valkyries, but ones that match the Officer/PP troopers would probably sell better
