Hasbro's NYCC panel puts five G.I. Joe figures up for pre-order on 13 October, and names six more
Hasbro’s Thursday night panel at New York Comic Con has produced a new Classified Series wave for 2027, and the date to write down is Tuesday, 13 October at 1 PM ET, when Toy Habits says pre-orders open for the wave. That part we can check against our own coverage, because Hasbro already gave the same date for Dreadnok Flatline a few days ago. Everything else below rests on Toy Habits alone, which published its panel write-up on 8 October.
We have not read Hasbro’s own post or a Hasbro Pulse listing for any of this, and we cannot see the official NYCC pages, so the figure details are Toy Habits’ account and not ours. Our schedule read puts the Hasbro action brands panel at 7:15 PM ET that night in North Room 406.1 [1]. Toy Habits does not give a time, and it gives no prices.
The five
Toy Habits lists the wave this way:
- Dreadnok Flatline, the medic Hasbro revealed on 6 October.
- Hardball, with a new grenade launcher sculpt and a bat carrying the G.I. Joe logo.
- Shipwreck in a new tactical version, with night vision goggles and a parrot named Althea. Toy Habits says the design draws on a Dollar General exclusive from the past.
- Daina of the Oktober Guard, with swappable heads, one helmeted and one with blonde hair.
- Cobra H.E.A.T. Viper, with an anti-tank launcher and helmeted and unmasked heads.
Toy Habits gives early 2027 as the release window, which matches what Hasbro said about Flatline.
Named, not shown
Six more names came out of the panel without renders, according to the same write-up: Chuckles, Retro Zarana and Retro Tunnel Rat, both inspired by G.I. Joe: The Movie, Ambush, Ninja Force Storm Shadow and Billy Kessler. Toy Habits adds that the movie’s 40th anniversary will be a major part of the 2027 Retro Collection, and does not say which other figures that covers. Nothing here is dated or priced, so we are treating all six as announced and unconfirmed until Hasbro shows them.
The rest
The Dreadnok Thunder Machine is the vehicle in the report. Hasbro Pulse’s own Instagram says it is available only until 23 October at 11:59 PM ET [3], and Toy Habits adds delivery in late summer to early fall 2027, which fits our earlier Thunder Machine post. The Night Force Sneak Peek, which we covered on Thursday, also appears in the panel’s promotional images, and Toy Habits says its Walmart Collector Con stock sold out online with a retail release expected in April 2027 [2].
We have not searched BigBadToyStore for any of the five, and nothing here carries a buy link yet. When the listings go up on the 13th we will read them before we point anywhere. Our NYCC 2026 hub is carrying every Joe reveal as it lands.

[2] The April 2027 date is Toy Habits’ figure. Walmart did not display a ship date when we last read the listing.
[3] This is the only part of the report we have checked against a Hasbro account. We looked at Hasbro, Hasbro Pulse and G.I. Joe on Instagram on the evening of 8 October and found no post about the panel figures yet.
