G.I. Joe Classified Series Kyle "Budo" Jesso Arrives from Hasbro 

Enhance your G.I. Joe Classified Series collection with some brand new releases from Hasbro as the war rages on with Cobra 

It is ninja season at Hasbro as they unveil their latest selection of G.I. Joe and Cobra action figures. Up next is Kyle "Budo" Jesso, the G.I. Joe's resident samurai warrior, who blends ancient tradition with modern military flair. Introduced in 1988, Budo stands out from the rest of the Joes not just for his katana and kabuto-style helmet, but for his code of honor. Budo was born in California but raised in the disciplined way of the samurai, making him a unique fusion of East and West cultures. 

While many Joes rely on firepower, Budo charges into battle with sword in hand, making him deadlier than the rest. Hasbro is now bringing Budo to the G.I. Joe Classified Series with an impressive new release. This military samurai is loaded with a fully removable set of samurai armor and three different head sculpts. He also comes with a variety of swords, a pistol, and a rifle, just in case things get too intense. The G.I. Joe Classified Series Budo is priced at $34.99; he is set for a December 2025 release, and pre-orders are live.
