So, I finally got the Retro Scarlett.

I really like this figure, but hate how she's always looking down. If I put the quiver on her back, she looks down even more cause of the pony tail.

I wanted her to have some arrow storage, but the 25th Scarlett's belt is too tight to fit on the new Scarlett. (I think it was too tight for the 25th Scarlett already...haha)

I moddified a Lady J belt to include the quiver of arrows from the 25th Scarlett belt and put it on her. Now she has some storage, and as a bonus, she has a pistol now too.

Thanks. Really wish they did something about her neck or the head so that it didn't always look down. Shouldn't have been too hard given that they sculpted a new head.

I think you can shave off the back of her head socket to allow her to look up more. Someone posted it in here when she initially came out.

Nice idea, especially giving her a sidearm.

So, I found out that I can have Scarlett look straight instead of always looking down. I just have to push her head up a little and she also looks better in that she now has a neck. It actually fits without having to be pushed all the way down and it wont' come off and still moves. You wouldn't be able to use her backpack which was the reason I modified the 25th Scarlett quiver onto her.

Here she is with my Retro Duke.
