Destro over at HissTank continues to make up for lost time as he posts an extensive gallery of the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA Scarlett figure from Wave 1.
Decked out in a fairly standard looking camouflage uniform, this would appear to be a version of the G.I. Joe intelligence operative that isn’t seeing field combat, and instead is behind a desk or on base. Honestly, this is probably my least favorite figure that I’ve seen so far. While many fans are lambasting the “battle suit” look and begging for a more standard military appearence I find myself really liking the combat suits, and the stuff in standard military fatigues is fairly tiresome. From a sculpting standpoint the figure itself seems to look fine, but when I drop the cash on Scarlett, I want the one in full “battle rattle“.
Gotta love that spring-loaded mega-crossbow! Beautiful in its cheeziness!

Whew…that face. Can’t win ’em all, I guess. Yeah, I agree, this one is a solid pass. The battle suit one not only looks cooler, but has a MUCH better head! I will miss the giant crossbow/cannon, though…
