G.I. Joe Classified: Wet-Suit Review

One of the most popular Navy SEALs on the Joe roster finally arrives in the Classified line, and it feels long overdue. I never had the original growing up—my childhood Wet-Suit was the v4 Battle Corps version—so getting this modern take on his classic look brings a great mix of nostalgia and fresh excitement. This figure is a faithful update to the O-ring original, but with modern aesthetics, sharper sculpting, and enough new engineering touches to make him feel like a definitive version. Simply put: another home run for Classified.

Accessories

Wet-Suit comes loaded with gear, and most of it is newly tooled:

• Flippers: New sculpt with scale texture and a small spike, clearly marked left and right. They’re pliable and feel durable—almost guaranteed to be reused for future divers like the Hydro-Viper.
  
• Backpack: Bright orange with black paint apps, two hose ports, and a new attachment system. The functional details really pop.
  
• Sea Sled / Underwater Propulsor: Black engines, fins, and sculpted propellers. It plugs into the backpack securely and adds a ton of character. A big highlight of the set.
  
• Wrist Light: A classic Joe diver accessory. This version has a hand strap and good sculpt detail.
  
• Knife: All black, with crisp sculpting and a flexible blade.
  
• Underwater Pistol: Super sleek and looks believable as a submersible firearm
  
• Dive Mask: Teal goggle trim, orange mouthpiece, silver accents, and lights on top. Very faithful to the O-ring but modernized.
  

Figure Details

Wet-Suit has a strong, tough face sculpt that looks like a no nonsense mission focused SEAL. The suit features the classic “flying shark” logo, and the overall color scheme sticks extremely close to the vintage figure with thoughtful modern updates.

Compared to earlier dive figures—especially Torpedo—this body feels sturdier and more refined. The wet suit zipper, short sleeves, load-bearing vest, pouches, and new watch design all add layers of realism. It’s a great blend of retro homage and modern Classified engineering. I greatly appreciate the fact that the Classified design team made Wet-Suit distinctly his own character that still compliments the divers that came before him. You can easily see him commanding a squad of them.

Articulation

Plenty of movement here:

• Head: Solid rotation but limited upward tilt—common for diver poses.
  
• Arms: Pinless elbows, butterfly joints, and wrist rockers offer great posing options.
  
• Torso: Ab crunch plus floating belt
  
• Legs: Drop-down hips, thigh cuts, and pinless double-jointed knees.
  
• Feet: Rocker articulation helps with swimming and kneeling poses.
  

Overall movement is impressive, especially for a figure covered in gear.

Final Thoughts

Wet-Suit is exactly what I want from the Classified line: a figure that honors the original but doesn’t feel trapped by it. The accessories are plentiful, the sculpt is strong, and the overall presentation fits right in with the line’s best offerings. Even as someone who grew up with a different version of the character, this one feels instantly iconic. Classified just keeps stacking wins, and Wet-Suit is another standout addition.
