E3: GI Joe Returns With A New Set Of Toys In Retro Packaging From Hasbro
G.I. Joe was a staple of the '80s. While the toy originates from the '60s, the 3.75 inch scale figures from the '80s are what most people think of when they hear "G.I. Joe." Now, Hasbro is taking a dip back into the past as they've announced a bunch of new figures in the Retro Collection, and GameSpot has an exclusive look at all of them below.
The coolest thing about the 3.75 inch scale figures is that you can place them inside of vehicles. Where would these Joes be without their bombastic assault vehicles? Two have been revealed for this upcoming set, one for the Joes and one for the evil terrorist organization Cobra.
Both the A.W.E. Striker and H.I.S.S. Tank can hold two of your figures. The Striker comes with the character Crankcase, while H.I.S.S. Vehicle comes with Cobra H.I.S.S. Driver. Each one has seating for two figures. However, you can stand one Joe up in the Striker to man the gun on top of the vehicle. Both vehicles will cost $25 USD and will be available in October at Walmart. Pre-orders for these vehicle begin on July 17, at 11 AM ET.
