G.I. Joe Classified Series Lara Croft Tomb Raider Collaboration Revealed at SDCC 2026, Pre-Orders Live Now
Hasbro and Crystal Dynamics have officially unveiled the G.I. Joe Classified Series Retro Cardback Collaborative Lara Croft Tomb Raider action figure at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, marking the legendary adventurer’s first appearance in the premium collector-focused Classified line.
Figure Details
The Lara Croft Tomb Raider Classified figure comes packed with 16 character-inspired accessories reflecting her iconic gear and signature tools. The accessories include an alternate head, dual alternate hands, dual climbing axes, backpack, grappling hook with handle and rope, recurve bow and arrow, quiver, the Dagger of Xian with sheath, dual weapon accessories, and a removable bandolier.
The figure features the classic retro cardback inspired packaging design that harks back to the vintage G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero line, making it display-ready for collectors. At 6 inches (15 cm) scale, the figure arrives with multiple points of articulation for dynamic posing.
The Crossover Story
According to Hasbro’s official file card backstory, Lara Croft, the world-renowned truth seeker and adventurer, has tracked a mythic artifact to the jungles of Cobra Island. Her search brings her into contact with both Cobra and G.I. Joe, setting up an unexpected alliance in the G.I. Joe universe. The crossover extends beyond the figure: a five-issue miniseries titled “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero/Tomb Raider” launches in the comics, with Lara already making a surprise appearance in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #330.
Pre-Order Information
Pre-orders are live now on Hasbro Pulse at $44.99. The figure is scheduled to ship approximately October 1, 2026, in time for the fall collector season. This is a general release, not an exclusive, making it widely available to fans of both franchises.
Tomb Raider 30th Anniversary
The collaboration marks part of Tomb Raider 30, the ongoing celebration of the 30-year legacy of Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider franchise from Crystal Dynamics. For G.I. Joe fans, this represents a unique high-profile crossover that brings one of gaming’s most iconic characters into the Classified collector universe.
