I've been wanting to add this figure to my collection for years now. There's just something about him that I have to have.
I've watched numerous pop up on Ebay in and around 200$ U.S - complete. I've checked out some completed listings and have a general idea of what hes worth but I'm seeing fewer and fewer pop up period. What would you pay for this figure in 2018?

I think $150 dlls is a fair price for 2011 Wet Suit

He looks nice but he doesn't hold up well. His forearms are very loose and will fall off just holding a weapon. I only kept the head of the one I had and sold off the rest. He's getting harder and harder to find so if you are really wanting him, if you have a shot at him under $200, I'd say go for it.
Only reason I kept the head was because my custom Wetsuit head didn't fit the vintage helmet so I had to take a loss and sell the figure for less without his head.

I bought it for $100 years ago...and then promptly customized it. Worst custom mistake I've made, with Freestyle a close second, heh.
This was before I thought I could paint camo...

I wouldn’t get had it and sold it. It looks nice but is very over rated. I replaced it with a MTF figure that I like much more. The con figure has nice paint apps and cool gear but you can get the gear elsewhere and the figure sucks really. You’d be paying 200 for the cool paint apps.

iirc, he has the slit wrists of the really old style 25th figures. overall, he looks cool but I never bothered picking him up when he was around 150 last year. just didn't find him worth it, especially since if you want cool looking LRRP or special forces, a customizer can do much better with MTF parts.

he has the fixed version Wet-Suit (v12) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive still on this figure those forearms fall off easily MTF parts is the best way to go
