Writer's picture: MephitsuMephitsu

Revealed as part of the launch activity for the next Walmart Collector Con, taking place on the 13th of March 2025, is this new G.I. Joe Classified Series release of Richard "Crystal Ball" King.



Crystal Ball, the Cobra Hypnotist and Paranormal Scientist, is number 159 in the G.I. Joe Classified Series and comes with alternative hand, revolver, shield, and a number of spectral green translucent pieces including extra demon head, shield, green flaming blade and his crystal ball.


The figure is a Walmart US exclusive, and very likely to be a Hasbro Pulse Exclusive here in the UK. It will open for US pre-orders on the 13th of March at the Walmart Collector Con online event. There is no details as yet for when it may ship.


We've added Crystal Ball into the G.I, Joe section of our extensive Hasbro Collector Database

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
