Hasbro's G.I. Joe Classified line continued 2024 as one of the best toylines from Hasbro, capitalizing on sculpting detail, character choice, and a wide spread of accessories for their figures, not to mention another highly successful Haslab campaign. With 2024 in the rearview mirror, these five are the G.I. Joe figures that stood out most to me.

5. Techno Viper
This release of the Techno Viper immediately cemented itself as one of my top five figures of the year from this line. The purple coloration already won me over, with all of the technological detailing, wiring, and the accessories put it over the top for me. The pop-up hologram piece is a ton of fun to pose with, not to mention all the options for his backpack and tools.
4. Night Creeper
Just like the Techno Viper, the reveal and release of the Night Creeper immediately landed itself as one of my favorites of the year. Both were fantastic army builders for the Cobra army, and in the Night Creeper's case it came with an impressive spread of weaponry that composed newly sculpted items, as well as an alternate head piece, and a well sculpted body armor with nice maroons and grays.
3. Torch
The conclusion to our trio of original Dreadnok lackies came out this year with Torch who is easily not only my favorite of the three but also one of my favorites of this year. He is packed with sculpted and painted detail with a very fun flamethrower accessory, flame effects, and sculpted on glasses which improves
vastly on the flimsy, removable glasses Ripper and Buzzer had that never want to sit properly.
2. Road Pig
The Dreadnok focus continues with Road Pig, a character that I was highly anticipating coming to the line and when he finally came out last fall he was everything I was hoping he would be. A hefty piece that is so unique amongst the Classified line with his makeshift football armor, cinderblock sledgehammer, the pig motif splattered throughout his person, as well as the inclusion of another great animal sculpt in the line!
1. Nemesis Immortal
An absolute monster of a figure, the Nemesis Immortal is one of the coolest figures to come out in the entirety of the line. The sculpting detail of this beast of a Cobra-La soldier is impressive, with lots of deep reds and purples that compliment the design well, and a far reaching wing span that makes this not only a piece of the collection but a centerpiece. He is a fantastic precursor to what will hopefully be additional Cobra-La figures coming down the road.
