Joe Classified Series, targeting collectors with a winter warfare twist on the iconic Cobra vehicle.In a showcase video hosted by Hasbro Pulse team members BMac (marketing) and Lenny (design), the prototype was presented in detail.

- Arctic Saw Viper (Cobra side), featuring a distinctive wolf pelt for a fierce, werewolf-inspired look.
- Drift Viper (Cobra side), a versatile two-in-one design representing low-rank operatives adapted for extreme Arctic survival.
Pre-orders for these figures will open in 2026 with advance notifications. The hosts highlighted the potential for building immersive frozen battlefield scenes, emphasizing fan-driven expansions in the line.This holiday-timed announcement underscores Hasbro's strategy of exclusive, limited-edition drops to engage the collector community during peak seasons.
