Overview
Dreadnok Monkeywrench is figure #167 in the G.I. Joe Classified Series — standard retail, 2025 at $24.99. The Dreadnoks’ explosives expert and sabotage specialist at Classified 6” scale. Part of the programme’s systematic 2024-2025 Dreadnok expansion that built out Zartan’s biker gang from a handful of figures to a comprehensive display roster.
The 2024-2025 Dreadnok Build-Out
The Classified programme addressed the Dreadnoks systematically across 2024 and 2025 after establishing the core characters earlier in the line. Zartan (#23) and Zarana (#48) arrived in 2021 and 2023 respectively. The 2024-2025 expansion added Ripper (#102), Buzzer (#106), Torch (#123), Gnawgahyde with Porkbelly & Yobbo (#125), Zandar (#146), Road Pig & Rawkus (#135), and Monkeywrench (#167) — building a roster that can fill a full Dreadnok shelf.
Monkeywrench at #167 is the sixth standard retail Dreadnok addition in the 2024-2025 period, filling in the gang’s technical specialist role that the earlier entries hadn’t covered.
Monkeywrench’s Dreadnok Role
Where Ripper and Torch cover the physical violence tier of the Dreadnok operation and Buzzer brings the intellectual contrast, Monkeywrench is the explosives and sabotage specialist — the character who blows things up methodically rather than with the casual vandalism that characterises the gang’s general approach. In the franchise’s operational logic, Monkeywrench gives Cobra’s most chaotic asset a specific technical capability that increases their operational utility beyond simple destruction.
The Irish accent and the specific character personality that the file card establishes — the cheerful explosives enthusiasm that the vintage line committed to across multiple media — is the character element that the Classified figure will need to communicate through its specific accessories and expression.
The Complete Dreadnok Display
A complete Classified Dreadnok display by 2025 covers: Zartan, Zarana, Zandar (the leadership tier), Ripper, Buzzer, Torch, Monkeywrench (the core gang), Gnawgahyde with companions (the later addition), and Road Pig (the heavy). The Cold Slither SDCC set (#163) provides the rock band configuration. Monkeywrench completes the core vintage gang roster at standard retail pricing.
Standard Retail Position
$24.99 standard retail in 2025 is the correct positioning for a character of Monkeywrench’s tier within the Dreadnok roster. Not a convention exclusive, not a premium multi-figure set — just the character at accessible pricing in the standard release format. The Dreadnok build-out has been almost entirely standard retail, which is the right decision for a gang that works as a display unit.
Secondary Market
Standard retail 2025 with consistent Dreadnok collector demand. Secondary prices typically run $28–42 while in production, reflecting the dedicated Dreadnok collector base without the premium that exclusive distribution would add.
Verdict
Dreadnok Monkeywrench #167 completes the explosive specialist role in the Classified Dreadnok roster. At $24.99 standard retail he’s correctly priced and accessible. If you’re building a comprehensive Dreadnok display — and with eight-plus figures available by 2025, it’s worth doing — Monkeywrench is not optional.
