The Hasbro G.I. Joe Classified Series panel at SDCC 2025 kicked off by taking another look at the Pythona Autumn Convention Exclusive release.



There was then a reveal of a new wave featuring Wet-Suit (179), Blaine 'Mainframe' Parker (178), Grim Viper (176), and Seymour 'Sci-Fi' Fine (177).

(HASBRO | Ages 4 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $24.99 | Available for preorder 7/29 @ 1PM ET at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, Entertainment Earth, Pop Mart and Big Bad Toy Store


G.I. JOE is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. JOE is there. New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Grim Viper comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Grim Viper figure contains 5 character-inspired accessory pieces including backpack, 2 knives, and 2 weapon accessories. Those Range Vipers who prove themselves particularly adept at survival undergo additional commando training graduating to the class of Grim Vipers. These specialized troopers excel at longterm infiltration of a target location before unleashing havoc with maximum firepower and reckless abandon. Grim Vipers who return from missions are said to have undergone “brass diets” losing significant weight from all the spent shell casings they left in their wake



G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES #177, SEYMOUR “SCI-FI” FINE

(HASBRO | Ages 4 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $24.99 | Available for preorder 7/29 | 1PM ET at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, Entertainment Earth, Pop Mart, and Big Bad Toy Store

JOE is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. JOE is there. New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Seymour “Sci-Fi” Fine comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Seymour “Sci-Fi” Fine figure contains 8 character-inspired accessory pieces including his signature XH86 LLOM Beam LASER Rifle with power source backpack and hose attachment, swapable faceplate and visor fasten to the removable helmet, and two blast effects which can connect. When Sci-Fi braces his weapon and sights in on a target, he becomes a rock—no discernible movement of any kind. Birds perch on top of his helmet. He transcends mere stillness to another plane of immobility. You don’t even see the trigger finger move. It’s like he wills that beam of light to stab the darkness…



G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES #179, WET-SUIT

(HASBRO | Ages 4 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $24.99 |Available for preorder 7/29 @ 1PM ET at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, Entertainment Earth, Pop Mart and Big Bad Toy Store

This Wet-Suit figure contains 8 character-inspired accessory pieces including removable helmet with air hoses that attach to the scuba tank backpack, searchlight, sea sled which can attach to the tank, 2 fins, knife, and weapon accessory. Wet-Suit may be mean to the bone, but he’s also quite bright, being well-read in both the classics and standard texts of military tactics. He’s wild and unruly—but he’s simply the best at what he does when he and fellow SEALS are dumped in the soup on a rubber raft with all the ammo and explosives they can carry.



G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES #178, BLAINE “MAINFRAME” PARKER

(HASBRO | Ages 4 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $24.99 |Available for preorder 7/29 @ 1PM ET at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, Entertainment Earth, Pop Mart and Big Bad Toy Store

Mainframe did a stint in the antiseptic corridors of Silicon Valley making big bucks and fighting off boredom with a stick. Lucky for him G.I. JOE were looking for recruits with just his qualifications

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...
