It's amazing how the G.I.Joe Classified figures just keep getting better and better. This Vintage-Card Cover Girls figure from last year (in her M.A.S.S. Device design) is probably the best looking female figure in the line so far. It's very rare to see a sculpted smiling face that doesn't look creepy, but this figure achieved it in spades. She comes with two heads and two separate hairpieces to give you four unique display options. When she first came out I had several preorders arrive on my doorstep only to find some very unfortunate paint errors marring my figures. I kept buying her desperate to find one without crossed eyes or a crooked mouth. I eventually found a booth at NYCC with about 15 of her and and I finally found my good one. The sculpt was just too good to not go the extra mile hunting a great paintjob. This blonde version of Cover Girl only appeared in the first 5-episode G.I.Joe miniseries in 1983, but her popularity is still strong 40+ years later (3 figures in the last 4 years!) Let's check out Cover girl below!
As much as I strived to find the perfect paintjob, my stoic-face Cover Girl still has her mouth slightly shifted to the Left. It's not too terribly distracting, but I was being a crazy perfectionist with this particular figure.
Aside from her two faces and two hairpieces, Cover Girl comes with a figure stand, two sets of hands, a rifle, a handgun, a wrench, and a sledgehammer.
For the majority of the G.I.Joe series, Cover Girl appeared like this; with short reddish-brown hair and a brown bomber jacket.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is the 2023 Classified (Auburn Hair) Cover Girl with the 2025 Classified (Blonde) Cover Girl.
And here are the three blonde Cover Girl figures we've gotten so far: Super7 ReAction+ Cover Girl (2024), Hasbro G.I.Joe Classified Cover Girl (2025), and Super7 ReAction Cover Girl (2022).
And here are my three most recently-opened Classified figures: Vypra, Cover Girl, and Snake-Eyes.
Cheers!
