First before we get into the toy aspect of this story, it looks like
G.I. Joe is getting some type of
Adventure Camp, at least based on this
Facebook page that recently showed up. The weird thing about it is the location. The camp is located it seems in Malaysia. We are assuming this is something officially endorsed by
Hasbro.
Anyway this is a toy news website, so lets get to the toy portion of the story and why your likely reading this. The above mentioned camp is using artwork in it's literature which is very similar to that Hasbro has been using for their new
6" G.I. Joe Classified line. We all remember the
poster Hasbro first showed at Toy Fair in February which is also featured on the back of the packaging for the wave 1 figures. The poster of course gave us looks at how each of the characters look in the new line and even gave us glimpses at what are likely upcoming characters for the second wave.
We now based on this new artwork that is being used by the
G.I. Joe Adventure Camp, likely have our first look at the
G.I. Joe Classified Storm Shadow as well as better looks at
Cobra Commander, Baroness and the
Red Ninja. The later three characters were all featured on the original Hasbro poster.
As seen from various retail listings that have popped up, wave 2 is likely going to include three movie figures and three non-movie figures. Based on the original poster, we assumed the three non-movie figures would include
Baroness, Cobra Commander and
Gung-Ho.
The new artwork features all the characters released in wave 1 of the Classified line, which includes
Duke, Roadblock, Scarlett, Snake-Eyes and
Destro. The new artwork does not however feature
Gung-Ho, but once again features the
Red Ninjas that were shown in the background of the original poster. Some have speculated that wave 2 will feature the Red Ninja instead of Gung-Ho, and this new artwork might give credence to that line of thinking. I would find it odd if we didn't get any new non-movie Joes in wave 2, but we will have to see.
I still think wave 2 will have
Cobra Commander, Baroness and
Gung-Ho and then perhaps we will see
Storm Shadow and the
Red Ninja released in the third wave.
Speaking of a third wave, our friend
JTPrime has discovered more
Classified listings on the
Walmart website. Like with previous listings, we see codenames used so we don't know what actual characters they are. We can speculate that these could be the remaining characters featured in the artwork, or be something totally new. We should note that besides
Cobra Commander, Baroness, Gung-Ho, Storm Shadow and the
Red Ninja, the
Cobra Alley Vipers were also featured on the original poster.
