Continuing the trend first started in 2007,* Hasbro released their fifth classic-style packaged G.I. Joe exclusive action figure plus variant at SDCC. Like the previously released
Destro (2007),
Cobra Commander (2008), Sgt. Slaughter (2010), and
Zarana (2011), the Kim Arashikage figure was offered in her original Jinx costume--not offered in any form since it's 1987 debut--as well as an unmasked modern interpretation clad in white.
*in 2009 the two individual carded figures were replaced with the McCullen family two pack to commemorate the feature film G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra.
