G.I. Joe at NYCC 2026: the Hasbro and Skybound panels, the schedule and every reveal as it lands

G.I. Joe has two sessions on the New York Comic Con 2026 schedule, which runs Thursday to Sunday at the Javits Center. Hasbro’s action brands panel is Thursday evening, October 8, at 7:15 pm ET, and its listing promises new additions to the G.I. Joe Classified Series. Skybound’s Transformers & G.I. Joe panel on the Energon Universe is Saturday, October 10, at 11:15 am ET. The table below has rooms and end times, and we will keep this page current through the weekend.

Updated Oct 4, 2026, 9:20 PM ET. Schedule last checked Oct 4, 2026, 8:25 pm ET against the official NYCC schedule.

When is the Hasbro G.I. Joe panel at NYCC 2026?

It is Thursday night, October 8, at 7:15 pm ET in North Room 406.1, and the show lists it as the Hasbro Toy Panel, Action Brands. The listing is a single sentence that names Transformers and new Classified Series additions and lists no guest. Thursday is the opening day of the show.

One wrong date is in circulation. A fan listing has put a Hasbro action brands panel on Sunday, October 11, at 11:00 am. On the official schedule that hour belongs to the Hasbro Star Wars & Marvel Panel, which covers the Black Series, the Vintage Collection and Marvel Legends. If you are planning around Classified news, Thursday is the day.

What will Hasbro show for Classified Series at NYCC 2026?

Hasbro has not said. Anything beyond the listing’s one sentence is a rumor until it is shown in the room, and each real reveal goes into the log at the bottom of this page with its source.

One open item is the Ninja Force Snake Eyes and Jinx 2-pack. At San Diego Hasbro gave it a name-only reveal and said renders would arrive between that show and this one. Our August report has the details and the leak that beat Hasbro to it. The Arctic B.A.T. reissue is still taking preorders, and our Snake Eyes and Varmint ATV page covers the other recent Classified release.

What is the Skybound G.I. Joe panel at NYCC 2026?

It is the Energon Universe hour on Saturday, October 10, and it runs under both brand names, Transformers and G.I. Joe. The listing credits five guests: Robert Kirkman, Dan Watters, Tom Reilly, Jason Howard and Conor Hughes, and ties them to Void Rivals, M.A.S.K., G.I. Joe and Transformers. Reilly is the Joe name on the stage.

The Friday Skybound panel is a different session, a publisher-wide slate whose blurb leaves G.I. Joe out. The G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero and Tomb Raider crossover is the book Saturday’s panel follows, since our July report dated its on-sale day to October 7.

Has Skybound announced its G.I. Joe NYCC 2026 exclusives?

Skybound’s site lists no 2026 exclusives as of October 4, so this page lists none. When Skybound or the show publishes the 2026 list, it goes here, with where each book sells and when.

Is there a G.I. Joe exclusive at NYCC 2026, and where can you buy?

No G.I. Joe convention exclusive has been announced for the show as of this update. The figure you can order today is the Classified Series #69 Arctic B.A.T., listed at BigBadToyStore at $27.99 as a preorder with add to cart live and an estimated arrival of October 2026. We read the listing on October 4, 2026.

Who makes G.I. Joe toys and comics in 2026?

Hasbro makes the Classified Series figures, and Skybound publishes the G.I. Joe comics with Image Comics and Hasbro. Paramount holds the film side. Hasbro and Skybound are not on NYCC’s floor exhibitor list as of October 4, so their NYCC presence is the panels listed above.
