The GI Joe Classified Series team continues to impress with their presentation, as the new set of images showcases not only the figures themselves but also the highly detailed diorama shots and dynamic packaging photography that really brings these characters to life. The combination of Ghost Viper’s striking design and Dire’s menacing look gives fans an exciting addition to the Classified lineup. The reveal of box art and dio shots adds that extra layer of excitement as we inch closer to their preorder.

The GI Joe Classified Series Ghost Viper and Dire set looks packed with details and gear! Ghost Viper comes fully outfitted with an array of weapons including multiple rifles, a pistol, and swappable hands, along with a helmeted head sculpt featuring neon green accents. The figure also includes a snake, a venom tank pack with tubing, and interchangeable accessories. Dire, the Dread Inducing Responsive Energy beast companion, is decked out in a translucent green fade with multiple head sculpts showing off snarling looks.

The packaging for the GI Joe Classified Series Ghost Viper and D.I.R.E. (Dread-Inducing Responsive Energy) Beasts displays the figure, Dire, and their wide range of accessories, all set against a glowing red backdrop that highlights the translucent green details. Weapons, alternate heads, hands, and even the snake accessory are all arranged so collectors see everything included at a glance. Flipping to the back, the rear image showcases Ghost Viper fully geared up in an urban environment, posed with Dire and the snake to give a sense of how the set can come alive in action scenes.

The diorama shots give Ghost Viper a menacing presence in a neon-lit urban alley backdrop. In the first scene, he’s armed with a rifle and flanked by the glowing green snake, with the atmospheric fog and red-blue window lighting enhancing his eerie look. The second scene shows him in a different helmet configuration, holding a pistol with a rifle slung across his back, while a soldier lurks in the shadows behind him, creating a sense of tension and ambush.

Ghost Viper is shown kneeling among rubble with his rifle ready, lit by eerie green glow and contrasted against red and blue-lit buildings, while another soldier in the background takes aim. The second scene pairs him with Dire, where Ghost Viper advances through the fog with his weapon raised, green energy effects swirling and the translucent beast moving at his side.

The first scene instantly gives off an American Werewolf in London vibe, with Ghost Viper mid-transformation under a full moon, his translucent wolf head and glowing green hands making him look “hungry like the wolf.” These images show off the versatility of the heads as two beastly versions of Ghost Viper stalk the streets, weapons in hand and a snake slithering in the foreground, the glowing city windows behind them adding to the ominous, night-stalker feel.

These last dio shots lean hard into the eerie glow effect, with Ghost Viper unleashing streams of bright green energy that coil around him and his beast, Dire.
