Yeah, I saw you mention her being "next up on the docket" (in your thread). You have your work cut out for you, though. There's little positive inspiration to be drawn from that original figure, imo.

Hopefully Classified rectifies that some point soon.
I hope so, too. However, they aren't exactly off to a very promising start.
Speaking of disrespecting women
, does it bother anyone else that neither Lady Jaye nor Scarlett ever appeared on any vintage vehicle's box art? I get G.I.Joe was primarily seen as a "boys line", but if you're going to bother to produce the figures, you could at least make some effort to promote them.

I’d call Baroness easily the best 82-94 ladies headsculpt, but imo women’s headsculpts generally was just an area Hasbro struggled in, when they made them at all. In any case, it was really nice to get a Scarlett in the 90s...
It's not just the limited articulation, though. Those colours are a total eyesore. Plus, not trying to shame her or anything, but
dat body doe
. And 1984 Baroness gives me the creeps, especially in light of the disturbing developments regarding Michael Jackson's personal life.

Yeah, while the Night Force colour scheme was cool, were any of the figures really enhanced all that much?
Maybe Lightfoot
, I suppose. Sneak Peek and Psyche-Out don't count (those sculpts were beyond redemption). Plus the new paint job pretty much
ruined
Tunnel Rat. And Night Force Charbroil looks like he's on the wrong team.
