G.I. Joe's Duke Gets Skybound-Inspired Classified Figure, Ships in 2026

G.I. Joe's iconic First Sergeant Duke is back in Hasbro's Classified Series, finally getting a refresh inspired by the acclaimed Skybound comic run. Fans of the modern 6-inch line have been waiting for this classic Joe leader to rejoin the fray, and the new design brings him up to date.

This isn't just a re-release; it's a "mission-ready" Duke, complete with a tactical loadout featuring dual pistols, a knife, a backpack, and a rifle. The Classified Series has carved out a niche for detailed, articulated figures, and Duke looks set to continue that trend, fitting perfectly alongside other Joes or even crossover figures.

But here's the catch for eager collectors: pre-orders are open now via Hasbro Pulse for $27.99, but don't expect him anytime soon. Duke isn't scheduled to ship until a surprising November 2026. That's a long wait, but if Hasbro is leaning into the successful Energon Universe comics for inspiration, it could signal an exciting future for the Classified Series.
