1988 Hasbro G.I. Joe - Shockwave CAS 85

A tactical titan with a tenor’s touch! 🎤 The 1988 Hasbro G.I. Joe Shockwave, graded CAS 85 with subgrades C85 B80 F90, is a high-grade example from Series 7 on the 34-back card—featuring the rare “Free Micro Figure” offer that adds extra collector appeal.

Here’s what makes this S.W.A.T. Specialist a standout:

• 🧍♂️ Character Lore: Shockwave (Jason A. Faria) was the youngest member of Detroit’s S.W.A.T. team before joining G.I. Joe. He’s the “door kicker”—first in, first to assess danger—and also a half-decent tenor in his off hours.

• 🧪 Grading Breakdown:

  • Card (C85): Excellent condition with strong edges and vibrant graphics.

  • Bubble (B80): Slight wear or yellowing, but still sealed and intact.

  • Figure (F90): Near pristine paint, tight joints, and full gear—museum-grade quality.

    • 📦 Packaging Variant:

      • The 34-back card includes the “Free Micro Figure” promo sticker, often featuring mini versions of popular Joes.

      • Shockwave’s accessories include a blue backpack, knife, pistol, and rifle with silencer.
