The first of our G.I. Joe Cover Collaborations! On Instagram, via the hashtag #gijoecovercollaboration

This is from a weekly photo series called "Figure Photo Fight!" that I do with a fellow photographer. We each submit a photo based on a theme. This was my entry for "Battleground":

Thanks to gi_diego_pix we have our first in-hand look at the new G.I. Joe Classified 6" wave 3 Zartan figure from Hasbro. This figure has already started seeing release overseas like at places such as our sponsor Robotkingdom. The figure along with the rest of wave 3 which also includes the Cobra Trooper and repaints of Scarlet and Roadblock form wave 1 should be out here in the US in the next month or so. Note that the bow and arrow featured in some of these images are not included with Zartan. He will include a pistol, alternate hands, knife, mask and backpack that holds mask.

Back in March we told you about listings that had shown up online that indicated Hasbro's second wave of 6" G.I. Joe: Classified figures would include 3 non-movie figures and 3 movie figures. Last week Hasbro officially revealed that the three non-movie figures for the wave would be Gung-Ho, Red Ninja Viper and Dark Blue Cobra Commander. Note the Profit Director Destro is a Fan-Channel exclusive so it's not part of the regular wave. The same goes for the Cobra Commander Regal Variant and Arctic Mission Storm Shadow figures. They are both exclusives and not part of a regular wave. Now thanks to the overseas retailer HobbyBase, we may have word on what the three movie-based figures for wave 2 will be. Along with the new figures revealed last week, they are listing three movie figures being released in the line for Beach Head, Roadblock and Cobra Trooper. The are also listing some kind of movie based figure with motorcycle. We have recently seen a similar listing show up in the Target store systems, though at Target it wasn't listed as a movie item. If the HobbyBase listings are accurate, it's unclear if these will be figures based on the upcoming Snake-Eyes movie or if they will be based on older G.I. Joe movies. The going assumption would be for the new movie, but the character choices do seem a little odd for a Snake-Eyes origins story. Only time will tell and of course we are treating these as rumors until we get some type of further confirmation from either Hasbro or other reliable sources. Stay-tuned for more details as they become available.
