This Zanya figure contains 10 character-inspired accessory pieces including alternate masked head, helmet, goggles, glasses, 2 alternate hands, machete, backpack holster, and weapon accessories.

This Airtight figure contains 5 character-inspired accessory pieces including signature sniffer, helmet with air hoses, compressor pack, connecting tube, and weapon accessory. It takes a mighty weird person to walk into a cloud of toxic gas strong enough to fell a mutant weight-lifter cockroach, but Airtight was a weird kid who grew up into an even stranger adult.

G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES #199 – HYDRO-VIPER

New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Hydro-Viper comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Hydro-Viper figure contains 7 character-inspired accessory pieces including helmet, backpack, diving knife, 2 fins, harpoon launcher, and pet devil ray.

Hydro-Vipers are qualified Cobra Eels (Combat Divers) surgically altered to withstand nitrogen narcosis and other side effects of deep diving, making them elite underwater troopers.

New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Alejandro Balam “Sundown” Luna Mendoza comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Alejandro Balam “Sundown” Luna Mendoza figure contains 5 character-inspired accessory pieces including axe, knife, hat, and two weapon accessories; plus removable poncho. Sundown uses his skills and natural tracking abilities as a bounty hunter allied with G.I. JOE. Stalking his quarry through the darkened streets, arid desserts, crossroads, and dense jungles of his homeland, Sundown seeks justice and evidence of his kidnapped brother Salvador. Intent on taking down Headman and the other heads of the Lords of the Underworld before he and his brother lose theirs, he is relentless in his pursuit.

Cobra Overkill began as an experimental prototype melding a Battle Android Trooper with a human host: a trooper who ran afoul of a Cobra war game training exercise. Now, with more than fifty percent of his body replaced by mechanical parts, he leads the B.A.T.s on the battlefield.

G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES #202 – NIGHT-CREEPER (D.I.R.E. TECH)

New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Night-Creeper (D.I.R.E Tech) comes ready with 8 accessory pieces including alternate head, 2 knives, crossbow, crossbow bolt, backpack, and 2 D.I.R.E. projection swords. Because of the Night-Creepers Zen-like discipline and Cobra’s own delvings into areas of arcane mysticism, these adherents are particularly well-suited to manipulate D.I.R.E. (Dread-Inducing Responsive Energy) Tech manifestations giving them the ability to emanate both mental and physical projections without an accompanying containment pack. The window-box display showcases the figure along with accessory loadout, figure-specific File Card Icons, gorgeous original character artwork, and dynamic digital renders.
