Adam (@shark_eyes_pix) has been at it this week! Not only did he snag his copy of the G.I.Joe Classified Series Seymour “Sci-Fi” Fine figure on Monday, but he’s also secured his copy of Budo and has posted a review on his YouTube page, @sharkeyestoyview.

Check out the review below, followed by official photography and details.

Been waiting on this one and am stoked to share this video with you. So without further adieu, here is the G.I. Joe Classified Series Kyle “Budo” Jesso figure.

G.I. Joe Classified Series #174, Kyle “”Budo”” Jesso

G.I. Joe is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. The brave members of G.I. Joe are prepared to seek out Cobra in any environment on the planet. From hostile jungles to ice-clad arctic peaks…wherever there’s trouble, G.I. Joe is there.

New to the G.I. Joe Classified Series line, Kyle “”Budo”” Jesso comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Deluxe Kyle “”Budo”” Jesso figure is bursting with 19 character-inspired accessory pieces including removable body armor that you can swap with a full suit of Samurai armor, masked and unmasked helmets, alternate head, scarf, cape, 3 swords, scabbard, and weapon accessories. Mix and match the pieces of multiple figures (each sold separately) to create your own customized army of Samurai Warriors.

A PERFECT PRESENT: This Kyle “”Budo”” Jesso figure makes a great gift for lifelong fans of G.I. Joe toys or for boys and girls who love action and adventure

Budo was one of my favorites from the ARAH, so I’m glad that they did him justice in Classified. There’s been a few gripes circling that make mention of Budo’s blades not facing the right direction when sheathed, with subsequent notes of “why not do it right?”

What’s your stance? Do you need your toys to be real-world accurate, or do you not care? I’m a fan of the figure either way.

Many thanks to Adam for the review. Keep it locked for the next!
