Hasbro’s first wave of 25th Anniversary G.I. Joe figures for 2008 is starting to show up at retail now. This series is also known as Wave 5 of the 25th Anniversary figures. Apparently, Wal-Marts are getting them in first this time.
- Crimson Guard
- Iron Grenadier Destro
- Snake-Eyes
- Snow Job
- Sgt. Flash
The Snake-Eyes figures is a reissue from the G.I. Joe 5 pack that was released this summer. All other figures are new.

Doing a little research, I came across several figures in the new G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary series of figures that have variants. Most of these are in series 3 and the only other ones I know of are in the first series. I haven’t found any variants in series 2. Here is the list with the variation listed.
Shipwreck - Series 3 - The variant of this figure has an anchor tattoo on the right arm. The common figure has a shark tattoo on the right arm.
Zartan - Series 3 - Zartan has a packaging variant. One version has the logo that says “color changing face” on the packaging. The other version is missing this logo. Apparently, the one without this logo is more rare.
Stalker - Series 3 - The Stalker variant was a color correction by Hasbro. The rare version has yellow camouflage, and the corrected version has green camouflage.
Snake Eyes - Series 1 - The variant version of Snake Eyes has a black timber wolf. The common version has a gray wolf.
Cobra Commander - Series 1 - Not sure about this one, but some eBay sellers are saying there is a Cobra Commander variant. The variant is apparently that one has gold buckles on the leg and one has black buckles. This may be a running change by Hasbro, and I’m not sure which is more rare.
I’m not sure if there are any others out there, but if you find any, let us know. Thanks.
