Does anyone know the significance of her name ? Is it some king of play on GI Joe... Lady Jaye... sort of a female Joe type thing? Like GI Jane? I don't know. Anyone have the inside track on that? It's been killing me since 1985. And what the heck is a reflex crossbow anyway? I don't even think Hasbro knew- Sunbow was so confused they gave her a quiver full of trick spears. Anyway, my favorite accessory was her video camera which looks sadly absent from the 25th Anniversary figure. But the "reflex crossbow" is included in all it's glory!

Lady Jaye unfortunately is my favorite character and I never had the original at the time, due to collecting late, but I finally obtained a loose complete one, I have to redo the o ring though. As for Lady Jaye, I'm not sure but I always thought Lady Bird Johnson, LBJ's wife, and Blue Jaye's Bird's IDK my word associations are crazy due to massive amounts of psychoactive drugs in college. But Duuuuude she'll finally have her quiver full of spears in the DVD pack, I'm in aw of an officially attractive version of her. I hope the don't change the pictures. Also I hope now that IDW will have the comic license, they go w/new continuity and reserect my girls ass.

Might as well have them reserect everything else about her too ;)

I always thought it was intended to be Lady "J" (GI "J"oe) they just spelled out the sound. Similar to R2-D2 (Artoo-Deetoo) & C-3PO (See-threepio). However, I could be wrong.

Ah yes.. the Reflex Crossbow... haha. senseless really. Here's my take on her weapon.

As for her name? Hm...I thought there was some kind of camping/hunting/ranger thing years back that had some significance or some vague connection to her name. I have hit the google, but didn't find what I was thinking about. It's a distant memory that won't surface...I'll let you know if I find anything.

The recent Hasbro Q/A said there are no plans to release the DVD figs as single cards, so that sucks. She's my favorite and the V2 figure is gonna rock! Did anyone else catch the TF/Joe Crossover comic done by Alex Milne? He did a great job drawing her. (witness the avatar on the left). I would also love to see her back in the comic. I'm not calling for a reboot or anything, but if SE can come back, why not LJ?

that's a good question... I was thought it was supposed to be something like "jade" as a play on her Irish connection (which is why she wore so much green).

As a side note, apparently the woman who voiced her looks exactly like the character

Here's a better question: Why is his codename "Duke" if his real name is Conrad?
