GI JOE - Night Force Psych-Out - Figure Classified Series #215 15cm

G.I. Joe — Night Force Psych-Out — Classified Series Figure No. 215, 15 cm

Psych-Out, the psychological warfare specialist, joins the G.I. Joe Classified Series range with this articulated figure, numbered 215. Dressed in his dark Night Force kit, this psychological operations expert is ready to disorient Cobra’s forces and carry out particularly sensitive night-time missions.

This version modernises the character’s classic look with a tactical outfit featuring shades of grey, olive green and black. His reinforced vest, protective gear and high-tech equipment are suited to the covert operations carried out by the Night Force unit, which specialises in surveillance, infiltration and operations under cover of darkness.

The figure stands approximately 15 cm tall and features numerous points of articulation, allowing it to be posed in combat, observation or whilst using his psionic devices. The Classified Series brings the iconic G.I. Joe characters to life in a larger format, with detailed sculpting, meticulous paintwork and articulation designed for display.

Psych-Out comes with eight character-inspired accessories, including an NF-88 psionic disruptor rifle, removable energy effects, a psychic resonator pack, a pistol, a knife and a psionic shield that can be attached to his wrist. This equipment allows you to create different set-ups and showcase his unconventional combat techniques.

Character background and lore

Psych-Outis a specialist in psychological operations whose real name is Kenneth D. Rich. Originally from San Francisco, he uses his knowledge of human behaviour to manipulate perceptions, cause confusion and weaken the resolve of enemy forces.

Before joining G.I. Joe, he studied psychology and took part in research into the influence of very low-frequency waves on the human mind. His work on paranoia, behavioural modification and disinformation led him to join a military centre specialising in psychological operations.

Unlike the other team members, who rely mainly on their physical strength or marksmanship, Psych-Out turns fear and uncertainty into tactical tools. He seeks to sow doubt in the enemy’s mind, feed them false information or force them to react to a threat that does not actually exist.

The character first appeared in the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero range in 1987. A new version in the Night Force colours was released in 1988, firmly establishing his association with this specialist unit.

The Night Force comprises agents equipped for night-time operations, covert surveillance and missions requiring a significant element of surprise. Its members wear dark uniforms and use specialised equipment to operate in environments where stealth is as important as firepower.

With its psionic disruptor rifle, resonator and shield, this Classified Series version visually transforms the character’s psychological abilities into science-fiction equipment. It presents Psych-Out as an operator capable of attacking not only Cobra’s physical defences but also the morale and perceptions of its soldiers.
