Night Force Jodie 'Shooter' Craig — G.I. Joe Classified Series #90

Overview

Night Force Jodie ‘Shooter’ Craig is figure #90 in the G.I. Joe Classified Series — Walmart exclusive, 2024. The second Night Force Walmart exclusive after Big Ben (#77), Shooter brings the Night Force programme its first female figure and its sniper specialist role. Her Night Force dark colour scheme suits a character whose operational identity is specifically nocturnal precision shooting.

File Card

Code Name: Shooter Real Name: Craig, Jodie Primary Specialty: Sniper Secondary Specialty: Night Operations

Jodie Craig’s sniper specialisation gives the Night Force programme the long-range precision capability that the sub-team needs for after-dark operations. A sniper who operates specifically in low-light conditions — working the moments before dawn and after dusk when visibility advantages shift — is a specific tactical asset for a night operations unit.

Night Force Female Representation

Night Force Shooter is the Night Force programme’s first female figure, following Big Ben’s Night Force debut. Her inclusion broadens the Night Force team’s composition in the same way the Cobra Valkyries (#68) broadened the Cobra infantry display. The Night Force programme’s gradual character additions — Big Ben, Shooter, Wolf Spider, Falcon — built a coherent sub-team over 2023–2025.

Sniper and Night Operations Combined

The combination of sniper specialisation and night operations training creates a specific operational profile: Shooter is the operator who takes the precision shots that clear the way for the night assault team. Her rifle and dark colour scheme communicate this role immediately without requiring any additional context.

Verdict

Night Force Shooter #90 is a strong Night Force addition that brings both female representation and sniper capability to the sub-team. Essential for Night Force collectors.

Night Force Programme Depth

By the time Shooter arrived in 2024, the Night Force Walmart programme had established a coherent sub-team: Big Ben (#77) as the inaugural SAS operator, Shooter (#90) as the female sniper, and Wolf Spider (#109) as the unconventional operations specialist following. The sub-team’s structure — specialised, small-unit, night-capable — mirrors what real-world special operations night units look like rather than reflecting the franchise’s broader military aesthetic.

Female Night Force Representation

Shooter’s presence in the Night Force programme follows the Cobra Valkyries’ (#68) 2023 precedent of giving sub-line programmes female representation. The Night Force programme without female operatives would suggest a gender-limited selection process inconsistent with the franchise’s stated values. Shooter’s sniper specialisation is precisely the kind of role where physical strength differentials are irrelevant — it’s about patience, precision, and technical skill.

Secondary Market

Night Force Shooter #90 has maintained secondary market prices above retail. Night Force Walmart exclusivity and female character appeal. Secondary prices typically run $35-50.

Night Force 2024 Expansion

The Night Force programme added Shooter (#90) and Wolf Spider (#109) in 2024 alongside the previous year’s Big Ben (#77). The sub-team’s gradual expansion — one or two figures per year across multiple years — created sustainable collector engagement without oversaturating the Walmart channel with Night Force content. By 2025, the Night Force display had enough figures for a coherent small-unit display: command, sniper, operator, and specialist roles all covered.

Female Representation in Night Force

Shooter’s Night Force addition follows the same logic as the Cobra Valkyries’ 2023 debut: sub-line programmes should represent the full range of operatives rather than defaulting to all-male casts. A Night Force unit whose membership is exclusively male sends an implicit message about who belongs in special operations that the franchise explicitly contradicts in its character roster. Shooter’s sniper specialisation is a role where gender is irrelevant to operational effectiveness — which makes it exactly the right specialisation to lead with for Night Force’s first female addition.

Night Force Shooter at a Glance

The Night Force Shooter is a 2024 Walmart Night Force release — a GI Joe-side female sniper that brings night operations to the Classified programme. At $24.99 (or the relevant exclusive premium), it delivers the character design and display value that the 2024 Classified programme committed to across all its releases.

The 2024 programme’s overall approach — systematic coverage of both major and supporting characters, continued sub-line development, and strong design execution — is visible in this figure. Each release in a mature collector programme carries the accumulated design intelligence of years of iteration, and the Night Force Shooter benefits from everything the Classified team learned from GJC-001 through the figures that preceded it in the catalogue.

For collectors building a comprehensive Classified display, the Night Force Shooter fills a specific role that no other figure covers identically. That specific role — whether army builder, environmental specialist, character type, or sub-line component — is the reason it exists in the programme, and it fulfils that role effectively.

Night Force Shooter #90 brings sniper capability and female representation to the Night Force sub-team. The Walmart exclusive channel made her accessible through physical retail rather than online-only drops. For Night Force programme collectors, she’s the second essential piece after Big Ben. Night Force Shooter’s sniper specialisation is precisely the capability that makes the Night Force sub-team operationally credible as a special operations unit rather than simply a colour-variant collection. At $24.99 Walmart retail, Night Force Shooter is an accessible Night Force addition. Secondary market prices run $35-50. Recommended for Night Force collectors and those building a complete Joe female specialist roster. Secondary market prices run 0-45 for sealed copies. Part of G.I.
