Article Summary

  • Hasbro reveals the new G.I. Joe Classified Series action figure, Darklon, ready for battle.

  • This 6" figure features modern articulation, detailed design, and multiple character-inspired accessories.

Darklon is a ruthless arms dealer and warlord who made his debut in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #113 in 1991. He is a distant relative of Cobra Commander and controls Darklonia, a small, militarized European nation known for its advanced weapons manufacturing. Unlike other iconic Cobra leaders, Darklon operates more like a mercenary king, supplying weapons to both sides of conflicts while maintaining his own army. This greedy and cunning enemy continues to remain a dangerous wildcard within Cobra's ranks, and he now has a new mission. Releasing as part of Hasbro's G.I. Joe Classified Series, Darklon is ready for action, along with some Joes.

This figure showcases this Mercenary King in all his glory with updated detail and modern articulation. Standing 6" tall, this wicked mercenary will come with a nice set of accessories with a revolver, a dagger, a sword with sheath, an enhanced minigun, and a wicked secondary head sculpt. The G.I. Joe Classified Series #155, Darklon, is priced at $24.99; pre-orders are live online, including at Hasbro Pulse, with an August 2025 release.
