On the file card of Pilot Scarlett it also says she goes by Glenda. Why?

She was made in 'tribute' to an internationaly made figure (Argentina was it?) that was called Glenda and looked the same. Yojoe should have it if ya look.

It's a nod to the international re-paint of the original Scarlet, which was named Glenda. It's also why scarlet came in the blue colours opposed to her standard ones.

So are they the same person then? I ask as I bought one to turn into Steel Raven, but her head is too big for Baroness' body and Red Star's hat.

She is the good witch. She takes Dorothy back to Kansas in a SkyStriker.

Dude you hit the nail on the head! Glenda was an awesome figure. It originally came with vacuum chrome paint. The hard thing is to find one of these figures in less than bad condition because they were made in argentina and most of the ones I have seen had crappy paint or blown up hands.
Hopefully mastercollector will produce a real vac chrome painted Glenda. I have been lobbying them for this. They made the Cobra Mortal figure a few years back and it kicked ass! I hope Glenda will get the same treatment. Hasblo opted for the red hair for their "Glenda inspired" figure. It was an homage and not a replica. Shame on them. Mastercollector are you listening? Please make the Chrome Glenda with Blonde hair!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!

A shame that now cannot be found, since Glenda was a pest on Argentina. You where really lucky to find a Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes was almost unseen, but the pegs where full of Glenda, Cover Girl, Airborne and Ripcord....and some other suspicious joe-like figures :P making a custom would be really simple, since it was a repainted Scarlett, nothing else. Much like the white Stalker (called Manleh) Last edited by M_renegade; 12-20-2008 at 12:50 AM.. |

Well what do you expect for hispanic made toys? You have to get REAL companies in Japan and some in China that actually know how to make a real toy.
Anyway, where is she in the Red Shadow's arc?
