Once again Fred from JBL and I have teamed up for a new review!

This time around we focus on the 25th Anniversary Scarlett. Everything you wanted to know (and somethings you probably didn't) with literally dozens of pictures!

Check it out here!

Yes, Fred's pictures are much better than mine...please don't make fun of me. :(

Excellent review. Thats pretty crappy about the waist and legs but it wont really bother me til we get some new vehicles for the 25th

The pics look great, I got a good chuckle out of the Barrage/Scarlett pic lol

Justin, thank you and Fred for doing that review. It was very informative and EXACTLY what I was looking for. You guys covered everything. A couple of my friends are excited about these, and I will link them your review.

The leg limitation does bother me, but I think Fred is right, Hasbro probably will improve them next year. It actually might be worse on the female figures rather than the male, I did see a picture of Snake Eyes sitting down from toyfair coverage and I think he can raise his legs higher. The waist piece on the male figures might be less limited as it looks to be more narrow.

Finally, the comparison pic proves that this is the best Scarlett to date. Hasbro might make a more "definitive" one next year but as it stands, none of the previous versions come close.

We were talking about this the other day at work. I was thinking that some of the customizers will be removing some plastic so that the legs are not limited in movement. I know that I plan to dremel the area around the leg to correct this.

Lets wait and see what we get. Time will tell...

The sculpt looks awesome. The mobility...shouldn't be a problem for me. From what I have seen in these pics...they should work with "most" vehicles.

My only gripe: "WTF is with the hexagon peg hole in the foot?" I mean really? WHY?

Maybe that will keep the peg hole from warping?

As for the vehicles... With the small mod that Justin did, I think NoBody should have issues with sittin problems. Hopfully Hasbro will take this in account for future character molds.

I hope so, too, crowncoke...

And the hexagonal foot peg is actually smaller than a normal peg hole, so it won't fit on the classic battle stands. :(

In case folks haven't seen it, here are the mods I did with Scarlett:

Thanks for the link to the mods....what you did doesn't take anything away from the overall appearance of the figure. It seems to rectify the problem very well.

Very Nice!!!
