Within the G.I. Joe Classified Series, D.I.R.E. Tech stands for Dread-Inducing Responsive Energy. It is a Cobra-developed energy system that manifests psionic constructs to intimidate and even destabilize enemies. Rather than functioning like conventional laser or plasma weapons, D.I.R.E. Tech appears to respond to the user's mental focus, converting intent and discipline into tangible projections. This concept is new to the G.I. Joe landscape, and Hasbro has been further enhancing it with the Classified Series.
A new Walmart Exclusive figure is on the way with the Night-Creeper (D.I.R.E. Tech), a new and elite stealth operative that the Joes will not want to come across. The figure includes multiple accessories, including an alternate head sculpt, dual knives, a crossbow with a bolt, a backpack, and two D.I.R.E. projection blades. The D.I.R.E. Tech head sculpt adds a touch of Cthulhu horror, an amazing detail for this elite Cobra soldier. Pre-orders for this G.I. Joe Classified Series figure are set to arrive for the next Walmart Collector Con in March for $27.99 with a June 2026 release.

JOE Classified Series line, Night-Creeper (D.I.R.E Tech) comes ready with 8 accessory pieces, including an alternate head, 2 knives, a crossbow, a crossbow bolt, a backpack, and 2 D.I.R.E. projection swords. Because of the Night-Creepers Zen-like discipline and Cobra's owndelvingsinto areas of arcane mysticism, these adherents are particularly well-suited to manipulate D.I.R.E.
