Hasbro's Classified Trubble Bubble is orderable at $109.99, and the Cobra half of the box is the bigger half

Hasbro put four names on the front of this box, and the one worth the money is last. The set is sold as G.I. Joe Classified Series #218, Snake Eyes & Varmint ATV Vs. Stealth Viper & Cobra Stealth Flight Pod, which puts a man on a quad bike in the title position and leaves the red-canopied one-man aircraft that the same title parenthesises as the Trubble Bubble in fourth place [1].

The parts layout is where the pod stops being a fourth name. Snake Eyes arrives with an alternate head, a knife, a pistol with a silencer, an SMG and an assault rifle, while his ATV carries a pair of missiles and little else [1]. The Stealth Viper arrives with removable goggles, four alternate hands and three weapons, and then the pod turns up carrying a twin cannon, a side-mounted missile, a long machine gun, a thruster and an aerial mine with a hatch that comes off [1]. Hasbro’s spec line counts seventeen accessory pieces across the two figures and eighteen unassembled pieces across the two vehicles, and the box is $109.99 [1].

The Cobra half is the reason to buy this, but the packaging sells you the Joe half.

The Snake Eyes in the layout shot is not wearing the Snake Eyes face. He is in a grey helmet with a green visor and a grey faceplate, and the spare head beside him in the tray is a green helmet with a blue visor; Hasbro’s box contents list it as “alt Steel Corps head” [1]. Neither one is the black commando mask, so if that is what you came to this box for, look at the pictures before you order [2]. Two helmeted heads and a Steel Corps name on the spare is how you build an army rather than a hero, though Hasbro has not said as much anywhere in the listing.

The full parts layout for G.I. Joe Classified Series #218 on white. Top row: the Cobra Stealth Flight Pod, a one seat aircraft under a transparent red canopy with a twin cannon, a missile and a black thruster can on one flank and a curved skid underneath; a separate long machine gun; a black spherical aerial mine on a red collar; the Stealth Viper figure in black and red with a red faceplate, beside removable goggles, four alternate hands, an assault rifle, a pistol and an SMG. Bottom row: the olive green Varmint ATV with a G.I. JOE decal, a roll bar and a pintle mounted gun; two rifles, a silencer, a pistol; a spare green helmeted head with blue goggles; and the Snake Eyes figure in grey and green fatigues wearing a grey helmet, green goggles and a grey faceplate, with a knife beside him.

The pod is a single seat under a transparent red canopy, with the pilot’s legs left hanging in the open air below it, a gun pod and a missile slung on one flank, a black thruster can behind and a curved blade of a skid underneath. The pilot’s shins are the first thing anything hits. Hasbro has kept the cartoon’s proportions rather than rebuilding the silhouette, and the aerial mine packed alongside is a separate black sphere on a red collar with a hatch that lifts off [1].

Where the three listings stop agreeing is on when any of this turns up. Amazon’s product page reads “This item will be released on September 29, 2026. Pre-order now.” [3]. Entertainment Earth has the same set at $109.99 under item HSG2085, with a live pre-order and an estimate of OCTOBER 2026 [4]. BigBadToyStore has it at $109.99 with a live Add to Cart, a limit of four per customer, and an estimate of November 2026 [5]. All three were taking orders when we read them on 24 September.

Entertainment Earth’s own listing says ship dates are subject to change without notice, and BigBadToyStore’s pre-order notes say the arrival date is an estimate and not guaranteed [4] [5]. September is the earliest date anybody is claiming, and nobody should clear a shelf for it. But Amazon’s date is five days away and its pre-order is still open, so settle this now rather than in November.

We covered the Crankcase and A.W.E. Striker set on 22 September and it is the other Classified vehicle worth watching: same scale, same era of source material, and the same spread of ship dates from one store to the next. The Ninja Force Snake Eyes and Jinx two-pack went up for order on 18 September, so there is a second Snake Eyes taking pre-orders this month if one masked ninja is all you wanted! Our own Snake Eyes entry has the rest of him, and the catalogue row for this set carries the SKU and the current retailer state.
