Wrestling legend Robert Rudolph Remus is lacing up the boots to reprise his role as Sgt. Slaughter for G.I. Joe.
Hasbro inked a multiyear partnership deal with Remus, the WWE superstar that brought his signature character to the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero brand of the 1980s across animation, toys, and comics for years. The “toughest G.I. Joe” made a live-action appearance in the latest Hasbro Pulse live stream to make it official, stating that he’d been “called back into active duty by ‘Joe Command.”
Sgt. Slaughter will be marching back into toy aisles as a 6-inch scale G.I. Joe Classified Series action figure at some point in the near future.
Additionally, six new characters set to join the Classified Series were revealed this week alongside a preorder launch for an additional six action figures: Zarana, Tiger Force Recondo, Crimson Guard, Tiger Force David L. “Bazooka” Katzenbogen, a Python Patrol Officer, and Dusty.
