The first of Hasbro's SDCC 2023 exclusives has been revealed by IGN.com as a G.I. Joe Classified exclusive release of Philip "Chuckles" Provost.
Chuckle will come in special Deluxe packaging and features a raft of accessories including an alternative 'beaten up' head, alternative hands, sunglasses, secret files, suitcase, gun, handcuffs, binoculars, tape recorder, headphones, and even a Hawaiian Luau Flower Lei Garland.
This release of Chuckles is only accessible to those attending SDCC 2023. It won't physically be at the event, but attendees can collect an access code to then order the item after the show closes - a similar principle was used at Star Wars Celebration. It is unclear as to if and how overseas collectors may be serviced. The set is similar in principle to the Zartan set from a couple of years ago and therefore Chuckles is likely to see a general release in the future, most likely with a different paint job and/or fewer accessories.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
