These will be going up for pre-order later today at 1pm ET at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth and Nerdzoic. They should be available on Amazon as well. Besides that we are expecting some new render and name reveals. Looks like they delayed their start time to 11:15 am. Panel begins. Showing a toy commercial for the TMNTxGIJoe crossover line that went up for pre-order a few weeks ago. You can still get them at places like Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore.com and Nerdzoic. BMac mentioned Amazon but they are not currently available there. Now going over today's pre-orders with the Action Joe Avalanche Response figure and Deluxe Dusty v3 With Coyote Sandstorm. Render Reveals: Iceberg, a new Duke (but didn't show a render), Toxo-Viper, Iron Grenadier Mistress Armada and a new Cobra character named Synapse (showed blacked out image). We added the Duke render that they forgot to show during the stream. These will likely be going up for pre-order next week. Name reveals, Retro Falcon, Female Cobra Valkyrie and Flash. Panel ends.

The second of four Hasbro G.I. Joe Classified Fanstreams kicks off today which is being led by Hasbro's own BMac and YouTuber Dan Larson. Today among other things we will see the official reveals for the G.I. Joe Classified Series Action Man, Hal with Grand Slam and Vamp Mark II with Clutch. All three of these should be going up for pre-order later today at 1pm ET as HasbroPulse exclusives. Panel begins with going over some stuff with Skybound comics. Bmac talks with Skybound writer Josh Williamson and artist Tom Reilly. Issue #25 Night Force vs G.I. Joe. Now going over today's pre-orders which are all HasbroPulse exclusives here in the US. They start with the HAL with Grand Slam in red pads. They suggested at some point we will likely see a silver pads Grand Slam down the road. Also hinted Flash is coming. Next up is Action Man. This figure has Action Man packaging. On the back it says from the makers of G.I. Joe which is the only mention of G.I. Joe on the packaging. Only Pulse in the US but Fan-Channel outside the US. Finally the Vamp Mark II with Clutch. They will be offering the original green Vamp again at some point. Haslab Snow Cat is progressing nicely. Sometime between now and SDCC BMAC will be posting a Snow Cat unboxing video. Now for Render Reveals: Avalanche Response Legacy Figure, Dusty V3. No new name reveals this week. Bmac mentioned previous name reveals he gave for the next wave which were Toxo-Viper I (Figure may look different from image they showed), Psyche-Out, Iron Grenadier Mistress Armada, New Version Of Duke (No image given). Panel ends.

Move over He-Man. According to Variety, Amazon MGM Studios is looking to take on another classic 80s toy property. This time with Hasbro's Jem and the Holograms. The reports says that a live-action series is in the works with Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan’s Kilter Films banner (“Westworld,” “Fallout”) producing it. The series is being described as a “elevated live-action technothriller series”.

Onslaught is the second item to sell out. Though I would imagine they will get more at some later point.

A little to my surprise the Ninja Force 2pk was the first thing to sell out. I was somewhat expecting that Starscream would be the first to go.

Price on EE is now correct.

Just a FYI, Hasbro sent out incorrect pricing on the CC to retailers. Its why you saw BBTS and now EE list it at a much cheaper price. The correct price is $70. Entertainment Earth as I type this has it at $52. They will likely fix it soon but if you can get an order in before they do then they will probably honor that price. If you buy $79 worth of stuff then you can get FREE shipping in the US. Again the correct price is $70 but if you act quick you might be able to score yourself a deal.

The first of four Hasbro G.I. Joe Classified Fanstreams kicks off today which is being led by Hasbro's own BMac and YouTuber Dan Larson. Today among other things we will see the official reveals for the G.I.

All three of these will be going up for pre-order later today at 1pm ET. They will be available at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth and Nerdzoic. Going over the Hooded Cobra Commander With Throne which has the removable crown. Cost is $69.99. Also showing the Deluxe Deep Six figure and the the Snake-Eyes with Varmit vs Stealth Viper with Stealth Pod. The Snake-Eyes is not based on the Resolute version but of a sticker mistake figure done back in the day. Now showing promo and in-hand images for the Ninja Force Scarlet And T'Jbang 2-Pack. Going over the 2026 SDCC Exclusive Shipwreck vs Cadet Deming And Fatal Fluffies offerings which was revealed last week.

Render Reveals: Red Pad Grand Slam With Heavy Artillery Laser Canon (Hal), Action Man and Vamp Mark II with Clutch (Desert Colors with Missiles) Name only reveals: Avalanche Response Legacy Collection Character and Dusty (v3) & Sandstorm Coyote.

Shown below via TheDarkKnightSkeletor is our first look at Mattel's upcoming Masters Of The Universe Movie Core Castle Grayskull/Snake Mountain Playset. One side features a playset for the good guys and the other for the bad. It opens like a book as we have seen with previous MOTU playsets and has various play features on it. This should be available for purchase later this summer.

Hasbro's Bmac tonight has posted ahead of tomorrow's G.I. Joe Fanstream news that they will not be offering a G.I. Joe Haslab this year. We will be hearing more about why they won't be doing a Haslab during their SDCC panel in July. We have been getting G.I. Joe Haslabs since 2021. I don't think this should really surprise anyone who has been paying attention. In fact I am not sure if Hasbro is planning on doing any Haslabs this year. Bmac goes on and confirms that the Cobra Commander with Throne we saw images leak out for today will be a Fan-Channel exclusive that goes up for pre-order tomorrow at 1pm ET. He also confirmed the crown is removable on the figure. This will be available at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth and Nerdzoic. If Cobra Commander sells out then they are planning a second production run for it. He goes on to say they will be doing product and render reveals every week this month and will have a surprise reveal tomorrow during the Fanstream at 11am ET for something that has not had a name reveal yet. They will be launching a total of 14 pre-orders over the course of this month. Check back for more details on everything shown during the Fanstream.

Yeah whether the crown comes off is gonna be a deal breaker for me in part because I have a pretty good Hooded CC thanks to a custom head I got a few years ago. I'm sure either way you could get that crown off, the question is will it have a indent around the head if you took it off.

LOL BMac has enough charisma to be able to introduce Lenny's replacement. I don't think you would need to fly someone in special like Larson to do that, and since it sounds like Larson is hosting all four fanstreams, your theory of introducing a new design lead doesn't sound very plausible to me. This isn't live television or needs to be some big production. The point of these fanstreams is to get information out about products a company wants you to spend your money on. Yeah if you have the people who actually work on those products coming in to talk about it then I think its worth doing because it adds an extra element of info, but I don't really see a point of bringing in someone outside of Hasbro who has never worked on the product. You can just have BMAC or BMAC and Emily show it and it would be fine if you don't have anyone on the actual design team available to be on the stream.

After doing some digging I can say with about 98% certainty this is a tease for a Deluxe Hooded Cobra Commander with Throne that will be released as a Fan-Channel exclusive (No Amazon).

Our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com is teasing what they say will be a new G.I. Joe Classified Cobra Commander with Throne figure. Fear has a new throne. The G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Commander with Throne Set is coming.....prepare your collection for the rise of Cobra. Thissss… is the face of real power! Pre-order coming ssssssoon! It seems very likely to me this figure will feature at least one hooded headsculpt. It looks like this will be a Fan-Channel release. I have seen indications we would be getting a Deluxe Hooded Cobra Commander figure this year released as a Fan-Channel exclusive so that may be what this is teasing. The accessory with the Cobra wrapped around the globe is one we have gotten before in the Classified line and it's origins stem from an old advertisement for the Parker Bros. G.I. Joe console game back in the 80s that showed a Hooded Cobra Commander holding it. When more details which will likely come during YoJoe June become available, we will be sure to update you here.

Problem is he is taking the place of the lead designer here. He doesn't work for Hasbro or on the GIJoe team, so its gonna be a sales guy and an influencer. It is what it is but IMO it would have been better to introduce Lenny's replacement during the "Big" GIJoe month assuming they have a replacement, and if they don't then that it a problem in it's own right.

Hasbro has announced they will be holding 4 G.I. Joe Fanstreams in the month of June for YoJoe June. They will take place on June 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th at 11am ET. Looks like since Lenny and Tony are no longer with Hasbro we will be getting BMac and YouTube influencer Dan Larson to host these. We of course will bring you full coverage of all the G.I. Joe Classified reveals coming throughout the month of June right here on TNI.

The Hasbro Star Wars Brand Team today is holding another one of their Fanstreams revealing new products for Black Series and Vintage Collection. Check out the full coverage below.

The Platmates Toys GIJoe x TMNT crossover line as we mentioned the other day launches for pre-order tomorrow (5/24). Here is a breakdown of what will be a mass retail release and what will be exclusive based on what was said at NY Toy Fair back in February. Single release 4.5-5.25” figure assortment features • Leo as Snake Eyes • Donnie as Dial-Tone • Mikey as Shipwreck • Raph as Roadblock • Cobra Commander • Krang as Destro (alternate weapon hands) • Slash as Storm Shadow • Bebop and Rocksteady as Ripper and Buzzer Vehicle mashups drawing from iconic TMNT and G.I.

As for Exclusives for this line, we have the following: • Amazon exclusive version of the Turtle-Fly copter with an exclusive Raph as Wild Bill. I assume this will be available tomorrow but I can't say that with 100% certainty • SDCC exclusive version of Snake-Eyes/Leo with Timber/Rahzar. Beign a con-exclusive THIS WILL NOT be available tomorrow. Our sponsor Entertainment Earth lists these to go live at Midnight PT tonite which is 3am ET. I don't know if other retailers will list them at the same time, earlier or later. So just keep an eye out at your favorite retailers. These should also be available at our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com and I assume Amazon will be listing them sometime tomorrow as well. This stated at NYTF, this will be a 1 and done line as Playmates Toys will be loosing the TMNT line at the end of this year, at which point Mattel will be taking over.
