I really hate the Shooter torso on Scarlett. I had been hoping for Resolute Scarlett with a new head sculpt. Destro was great tue first time around so it will be nice to be able to pick up a second one. Roadblock looks good from what I can tell, but it is disappointing if they are still using those horrible single hinge legs from Retaliation. They sucked then, they sucked on Bazooka in the 50th, and they especially sucked when the Club used them for Big Lob. Joes shouldn't use parts with Corps level articulation in my opinion.

I agree with those who say that Scarlett is as vintage looking as possible, and for those that say she’s “too smooth” just remember that the vintage figure was pretty smooth. I’m not loving those lower arms and gloves though. To me, that’s the poorest parts choice. I’m disappointed that Roadblock doesn’t have double hinges knees, but I can fix that with a Dremel and Snake-Eyes knees. Destro looks great, exactly as expected.

Well, i'm not 100% sold on that Scarlett build, but the colours are just right, and they gave it a good shot with the build. Some MGR tan body armor might look good on her. The lower arms are the weak spot for sure.
Roadblock is hard to see in that photo, but i'll agree that i'd be disappointed if he has the Retaliation legs. I'm looking forward to seeing a clearer photo. Destro looks like the 50th build, as it should be. Perfect. |

I don’t have a huge problem with that shooter torso. I honestly think that most people’s problem is that it’s not “sexy” enough. That’s one of the things the og ARAH line got right: all of the female Joes are attired properly for their jobs and not overly sexualised for no reason. Even the Baroness’ outfit seems practical with the armoured bits.
Anyway, with the right web gear, it could be redeemable. Regardless, I agree it’s better than 25th...and might even be acceptable in hand. But dang—that Resolute body is pretty sweet; a new head could have resulted in a near perfect Scarlett!

Goodness, no...the issue is not about being busty/etc. There are no material creases or anything—it’s a formless blob sculpt. The upper also appears to sit too high, ironically drawing my eyes to her chest, albeit with a negative response.

If you consider what Scarlett is wearing to be some sort of leotard then it would be pulled taut and have no folds or creases, like it is in the artwork. The issue I have with that is if the top half is taut then the legs need to be as well.
I "improved" both my Shooter and Cobra Officer with an MGR vest so I know they fit that torso. Those gloves are all wrong but I can't think of better ones for her. |

I'm hoping her skin color matches the SDCC Scarlett. Pop the retro head on there and you have an easy no paint custom with a better torso and proportions.
