New G.I.Joe Animated Series slated for 2022 release

 

Looks like G.I.Joe fans are going to be getting some good old fashioned "Yo Joe!" and "Cobra!" action come next year, as a new G.I.Joe animated series has been announced and is slated for a 2022 release!

The news comes courtesy of HISSTANK, who attended the Licensing Con Brazil event where Hasbro Brazil announced that Hasbro will be debuting a new animated series based on the iconic 80's action force franchise.

While little details about the show were revealed, a teaser clip was shared showing off how the new series will look like - with fan favorite ninjas Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow fighting some enemies, with new futuristic outfits that are somewhat like or inspired partially by the Classified Series action figures out now in the toy market.

While no release date has been given for the new Joe series, it will have a second season as well that is set to debut in 2023.

Hasbro Pulse reveals "G.I.Joe Retro Series" - the return of the 3.75" figures

G.I.Joe fans are going to get a dose of nostalgia in the coming months ahead, as Hasbro Pulse officially unveiled during their "Fan First Friday" event the "G.I.Joe Retro Series" - aka the return of the 3.75-inch/ 9.5 cm action figures that were the staple size of the popular toy line of the 80's. During their presentation, Hasbro showcased three characters - G.I.Joe's Snake Eyes and COBRA's Storm Shadow and The Baroness, and then two vehicles in the A.W.E Striker and the H.I.S.S tank. You can view the Fan First Friday video replay here.

Much like the 25th Anniversary line, the figures will be packaged in the classic G.I. Joe packaging (although missing the "A Real American Hero" subline). The figures will be priced at $13.99 each while the vehicles will be $24.99 each, and will be available for pre-order at Walmart.
