Wet-Suit v2 was only available as part of the 1986 "Special Mission: Brazil" set. This five figure set was the first of its kind for G.I. Joe.
It featured one original character (Claymore) and four v2 repaints of 1986 characters. This was the first time Hasbro released simple repaints as a new sub-team. This practice would become prominent in 1988 with "Tiger Force" and "Night Force" and in 1989 with
"Python Patrol" and "Slaughters Marauders.”

Seals are the guys who were too nasty to be Airborne Rangers or Marines. The Navy keeps their SEATS locked up below decks until something bad becomes worse. That's when they all get dumped in the soup on a rubber becomes worse. That's when they all get dumped in the soup on a rubber Wet-Suit may Just as well be the roughest one of the bunch. He's wild and unruly-but he's simply the best at what he does.
"Wet-Suit may be mean to the bone, but he's also quite bright, being well-read in both the classics and the standard texts of military tactics. Pretty amazing considering that the level to which he has developed his toughness would seem to indicate full-time occupation..."
