Nemesis Immortal — G.I. Joe Classified Series #140

Overview

Nemesis Immortal is figure #140 in the G.I. Joe Classified Series — Hasbro Pulse exclusive, 2025. One of the franchise’s most unusual characters: a supernatural entity whose origins and capabilities operate entirely outside the military-realism framework that defines most of the Classified programme. Nemesis Immortal at premium Classified scale represents the programme’s willingness to commit to the full breadth of franchise history, including the parts that stretch furthest from conventional military action.

Supernatural in a Military Franchise

The GI Joe franchise has maintained a largely military-realistic tone through its core continuity — technology pushes credibility, but science fiction rather than fantasy. Animated series and specific storylines like the Pyramid of Darkness arc pushed further into speculative territory. Nemesis Immortal occupies the extreme end of that spectrum: a figure that belongs to the Cobra universe but operates by different rules from the Troopers and Vipers around it.

At Classified scale, the supernatural character creates a display contrast that’s genuinely interesting. The H.I.S.S. Tank, the Cobra Commander, the Crimson Guards, the Iron Grenadiers — all operate in roughly the same visual register of military threat. Nemesis Immortal operates in a different register entirely. The display contrast is the point: Cobra’s military power supplemented by something that military counter-measures can’t address.

Pyramid of Darkness Storyline

The Pyramid of Darkness animated miniseries was one of the Sunbow programme’s most ambitious productions — a five-part storyline that escalated Cobra’s threat to global scale through a combination of conventional military action and genuinely speculative technology and entities. Nemesis Immortal’s role in that story gave the character a specific narrative context that collector knowledge brings to the display.

For collectors who remember the Pyramid of Darkness arc, the Classified Nemesis Immortal is a premium rendering of a character they encountered in animated form. For collectors who know the franchise primarily through the comics or toy line, Nemesis Immortal is the franchise’s speculative fiction dimension made physical.

Ghost Viper and D.I.R.E. Connection

The 2025-2026 programme’s engagement with supernatural and speculative Cobra characters — Nemesis Immortal (#140), Ghost Viper & D.I.R.E. Beasts (#170), Night-Creeper D.I.R.E. Tech (#202) — suggests a deliberate programme thread around Cobra’s unconventional capabilities. The supernatural wing of the Cobra display is becoming more comprehensive, which gives Nemesis Immortal a display context that goes beyond isolated novelty.

Display as Contrast Element

Position Nemesis Immortal at the edge of the Cobra display — not in the command formation, not in the infantry line, but somewhere that communicates his different operational mode. The figure that none of the Joe team’s conventional tactics can address directly creates a specific implied threat that the display’s spatial arrangement can communicate.

Pulse Exclusive Distribution

Nemesis Immortal’s Pulse exclusive channel is the correct decision. The character has a devoted following among franchise fans who engage with the animated series and speculative storylines; standard retail shelf space is better occupied by characters with broader recognition. Pulse delivers the figure precisely to the collectors who want it.

Secondary Market

Pulse exclusivity, niche supernatural character appeal. Secondary prices typically run $40–60.

Verdict

Nemesis Immortal #140 is the Classified programme’s most overtly supernatural character — the figure that proves the programme’s commitment to franchise-wide coverage rather than only the military-realistic core. The Pulse exclusive is the right home for it.

Acquiring Post-Announcement

Pulse exclusives at $34.99 typically have a preorder window that closes before shipping. Nemesis Immortal’s Pulse exclusive status means monitoring HasbroPulse.com for announcements and acting during the preorder window for the most reliable acquisition path. The character’s niche appeal means secondary market pricing moderates relatively quickly compared to mainstream releases — but not to retail.

Nemesis Immortal in the 2025 Programme

The 2025 programme’s Pulse exclusive releases — Steel Corps Commander vs. Twilight Guard (#141), Trench Viper & Fortification (#151), Cobra Pilot & C.L.A.W. (#152), Crankcase & A.W.E. Striker (#171), and Nemesis Immortal (#140) — demonstrated the Pulse channel’s capacity to accommodate a wide range of character types and price points. The supernatural character alongside the tactical military releases shows the programme’s confidence in delivering across the franchise’s full range.

The Cobra Supernatural Wing Complete

With Ghost Viper & D.I.R.E. Beasts (#170) representing Cobra’s energy-creature programme and Nemesis Immortal representing the franchise’s animated supernatural lore, the Cobra supernatural wing at Classified scale has become display-coherent. Two figures doesn’t make a faction, but it establishes a display corner that communicates Cobra’s capabilities extending beyond conventional military power into territory that Joe team training doesn’t prepare for.

Nemesis Immortal at Classified scale is the programme’s commitment to the franchise’s full breadth — the supernatural entity who proves the Classified line is covering the franchise’s complete history, not just the military-realistic core that dominates the first 100 figures. The supernatural wing of the Cobra display — Nemesis Immortal, Ghost Viper, Serpentor — is the Classified programme’s most creative display corner, and Nemesis Immortal is the figure that establishes the register.

The Classified programme’s supernatural dimension is growing more coherent with each new release. Nemesis Immortal is the foundational figure — the first character that proved the line was committed to the franchise’s speculative fiction history alongside its military-realistic core. Part of the G.I. Joe Classified Series — six years of systematic franchise coverage at the premium scale it always deserved. The complete catalogue is at figureshelf.com/gi-joe-classified/. Every figure in the Classified catalogue earns its place — and this one earns it by filling a gap the display couldn’t close any other way. The Classified programme continues to grow, and every new figure makes the display more complete.
