Didja see her...?
Scarlett

If they can manage to leave what they have done as-is, I can do a little painting and make, quite possibly, the first really great Scarlett ever...O_O

She's decent. Not the best. Glasses are a bit thick, but its a good representation of how she originally looked in the comic they come with. I actually have that set already, CC is probably the pick of that litter with Baroness a close, close second. She is easily the best of their remakes yet, primarily because they got the body to head scale quite a lot better than most any of the females yet released.

I am INCREDIBLY stoked to have that Kwinn figure, though. I used to read the book religiously, and the events concerning Kwinn inthe earliest issues really colored the entire run, despite the fact that *SPOILERS*

...he died a few issues later. Still, a very cool character.

that Commander is a kickass fig.
he's what got me started again, actually.
I snagged the Snake-Eyes/Storm Shadow pack a while ago.
pretty sweet, but I still think the 1st SS was the best they've done of him.

matter of fact, I think I'll stroll over to smalljoes.com, and have a look around...

**Darkest Angel** · July 29th, 2004, 02:58 PM

...first SS is far and away the best, IMO. Really, a lot of them are that way...the original Baroness is stillt he best version of her, too.

I am actually far more into the old figs and their new repaints than the new stuff, in any case. Will have to get that Cobra Ninja pack...

Yeah man, that Scarlett is easily the best one yet. I really like the head sculpt. I agree that the colors are a bit off, and she could use a repaint. I think the best thing to do would be to just transfer the new head onto the vintage body. The originals head scult was horrid.

And yeah Peeker, I agree with you on Storm Shadow, the original version is the only version of him I have ever liked!

...the original head would not have been so bad had it not been...you know...fucking ENORMOUS.

Actually, all the first series heads were pretty awful with the exception of Snake-Eyes, don't you think?

**TCM Hitchhiker** · July 29th, 2004, 06:01 PM

Yeah, for the most part, they were pretty bad, but Scarlett's had to be the worst. I liked Clutch & Breaker's head sculpts, and some of the others weren't too bad. Snake Eyes was definitely the best, no doubt.
