Yeah....I know I'm gonna draw a lot of heat for that statement but let me explain....
#1) No gimmick weapons. Thank god...this entire line is loaded down with way too many gimmick weapons...which are better than the ROC gimmick weapons for sure, but still...how many oversized rappelling gear things do we need? #2) Lots of gear. 4....FOUR extra guns, a bazooka, the javeline, two back packs 3 blades and none of them Ninja swords. #3) Good re-use of the Renegades Scarlett body. Yes...I will agree it not the best likeness of the actress, but its FAR better than the god awful sculpt we got of Covergirl from ROC...or even the Renegades Scarlett head...it may not look like Adrianna...but its not that bad. Now some will complain the re-use of the Scarlett Renegades body doesn't come close to the look even in the film...but honestly its not even close to the ARAH look for Jaye either so she at least can stands alone as a new character if you like. In all I think LJ is one of the better Retaliation figures so far and just had to talk about it. But, it is a pass for me. I can not get over the head scuplt. It is so askew and unrecognizable, that i can not place it in my Joeverse..... Also i am still baffled how we got this figure as-is. I mean, here is the concept art work, and the hotness of Adrianne... And this is what they came up with.... Last edited by stillagijoefan; 04-01-2013 at 08:59 PM.. |

The very obvious answer to that is "parts that already existed."

i bought one for myself. that is a major compliment all by itself.
i never bought the renegades scarlet, so its not even a repaint to me... the heads is decent enough. i waited for one with perfect paint. the weapons were a nice plus. also she is really solid and she stands up very well.

This Lady Jaye is a very nice figure. The accessories that come with her are just icing on the cake.

I fully agree, no heat from me!

It wasn't that I know of. I was just saying that that was we didn't get the accurate figure you were asking for; It was easier to just cut corners and use something that was already 90% in existence.
