It was in the thread about the new baroness.
I always thought the comics in many ways reflected the cartoon art. Also, I always felt the "Revenge of Cobra" mini series set the precedent for Lady Jaye because this is were she was introduced. Alas, she had no hat. Also in issue #30 or #32 Lady Jaye was introduced. Alas again! She had no hat.
Only when hasbro came out with the figure 6 - 8 months later did she have a bloody black hat. I hated it but I figured it was because they didn't know how to properly sculpted and mass produce a properly feminine face. Look at Cover Girl at that time. Boy she was a looker...not!
By the way, Cover Girl was introduced in the MASS devise and you know what? She was a blonde. Not the bull dyke looking gal we got.
For once I would like to have that Blond Cover Girl. It would be cool!
Also, I think it is important to have a face look like that what the character was introduced as. I am very happy we have a hatless Lady Jaye now. However, the face is off from the cartoon.
My rationalization is they sculptors at Hasbro are trying to make realistic/lifelike features for the figures. Not characters who look like either the cartoon or comic.
You gotta make compromises and I will make plenty of concessions just as long as the figures look descent and I think they are cool. I just wish we didn't get so many damn repaints. Instead, we need new characters.
If I seemed a little nit picky, I am just sensitive about how the female joes look because we got so few back in the day and the ones back in the day sucked bad. Now since they are making all fresh stuff, there is such an opportunity for a wealth of new and exciting renovations to the collection!
Still, the 25th Flint looks like Mr Spock in a beret. Only with more muscle in the forearms!
