The figure is definitely one I want and for a repaint is awesome, but it is kinda disappointing that couldn't have done a bit better on the face. it looks a bit too round. Why does Hasbro seem to have difficulty in translating real life attractive female faces to figures? They did good jobs on channing and marlon. Oh well...the figure still looks nice and I'm still getting it. Thank you for posting pics!

Ok, i was the first one to say "she will look better in the final release".
NO She's HORRIBLE.* Granted, the paint doesn't helps at all, but she doesn't looks like Adrienne Palicki. Chubby cheeks, pouty mouth (Palicki tends to make pouty mouth, but she's beautiful), and those lines at the sides of the nose make her look aged. I hope it can fix her with some new paint, because the figure aside of the awful head looks great. Good equipmente, and camo looks cool. *Their 3D scanner need a serious fix. . up close I think it doesn't look that great but at actual size in hand it might not be that noticeable. |

Hum... what? The toy doesn't looks to Palicki on Gi Joe, or in WW. Mouth is totally different in shape, same for cheekbones. The toy looks like an aged woman. I'm seeing that the eyes aren't well painted (on the toy!), maybe that could help (a repaint i mean). Maybe it's different on purpose, so they can keep using that head without having to pay for likeness...

My kids have asked for a dog for Christmas. I guess I'll get them a Retaliation Lady J figure. Ugh.

This figure looks great and seeing what the actual Actress looks like in comparison the head sculpt looks better just needs a better paint job.
February can't get here soon enough.

I'm usually the Hasbro defender around here, but I got to say:
Hasbro is worried about rising costs, cutting paint apps on figures and even cutting accessories.... But they are painting weapons (multiple in this case). The befuddles me. As to the figure: I missed Ren. Scarlett, and I don't find the face sculpt insulting. And even though I ragged above about painted weapons...they DO looks nice and there is a GREAT selection included. Like the Alley Viper, it isn't something I'm compelled to seek out...but I won't feel insulted when I order one as part of the wave 3 set.

Forget Lady Jaye! I think I just found the female Spearhead I've been thinking about!

Holy CRAP! I need this figure. It sucks...because I told myself that I'm content with the "Classics" style figures from 30th Anniversary and Pursuit of Cobra, and that I would not be building the Retaliation team...but between the "Ultimate" figures and this Lady Jaye, I think I will get the Retaliation Joe team.
She looks fantastic, off looking headsculpt aside. Though, she desperately needs some web gear to go with all those guns and knives! |

I don't mind Retaliation Lady Jaye as she is right now.
Just wondering why can't they make actor-likeness heads in scale with the body? Like a bit smaller? RoC Cover Girl and Scarlet looked good and they're some of my favorite female figs btw.
