The wetsuit is inspired by the vintage 1986 GI Joe O-Ring figure released by Hasbro, and has been given some new elements to give the Classifieds line a modern update. He is an expert in underwater explosives and a SEAL who represents the GI Joe team on underwater missions to fight Cobra.

Launch: December 2025
The wetsuit is packaged in a window box with logos and artwork on all sides, an image of him on the side, and an action shot with a photo of the toy on the back.
The wetsuit is inspired by the 1986 O-Ring figure and given some new updates and elements modernized for the 6-inch Classified line. The scuba diver’s costume is similar to his 1986 vintage toy, with many of the same colors used, including the red shark in the top right. He wears a teal and white costume, a gray harness with a black pouch, a gray holster on his thigh for a knife and pistol, and black boots. He also has a watch on his left wrist and a band on his right wrist. The upper arm also has a gray strap with a black pouch.
His head sculpt is new, as the vintage O-ring figure had a non-removable mask. So this is part of a new offering in character design. He has been given brown sculpted hair and the facial details are nicely done as well.
The wetsuit includes a pistol and knife, which can be stored in a waist holster.
Wetsuits include full scuba suits and diving gear. This one is also the same orange and black as the 1986 vintage figure and has many of the same colors. He rides a classically inspired scuba tank, a sea sled that stows under the scuba tank, flippers, mask, and mouthpiece. The tube can be plugged into the back of your mask and scuba tank.
The suit fits perfectly and has a completely new sculpt. You can also swim with a sea sled, a searchlight in your hand, or a rope wrapped around your wrist.
His articulation includes ball joints, swivel-hinged butterfly shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ab crunches, ball-jointed hips, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, swivel calves, hinged ankles, and rocker ankles.
Compared to the Torpedo Lieutenant, the wet suit is a new model, and you can see that there are differences in the scuba gear and suit.
Overall, Wetsuit is a great figure and a great addition to your GI Joe ranks. The attention to detail, weapons, and character design is amazing, and this is definitely a character you’ll want to add to your collection. Get him now at BigBadToyStore!
