It might be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer the original, especially when it comes to the new paintjob on the face. Nu-Scarlett looks older and like she has a facial rash or something...she's not as cute anymore. And when they're side-by-side, the two figures look like mom and daughter now.
As for the uniform, I appreciate the attempt to tone the original down, but the color choices they went with are kinda drab. There have been really good repaints done by fans that tone the first figure down while evoking the original design more than this one did. Scarlett 2.0 looks like she knows the looks are fading so she is heading for Botox and the tanning booth. I don't think it is a good look. |

It's fascinating, seeing the different takes on the Scarlett repaint. I absolutely prefer the new version, not that I thought the original was bad, per se. The original's gold & light blue on the armor, plus how the face & hair looked all just didn't work for me. While I get that most redheads have a lighter skintone & freckles, the way that face was painted looked cartoonish...plus, the hair looked way too orange, & not red enough, for me. I really don't know what they were going for in her facial design, it really doesn't fit in with the half-dozen other unmasked figures' faces we've gotten, so far. It's almost like they were toying (ah? AHHHH?!? sorry) with the idea of having each character sporting a different facial design (ie. realistic, cartoonish, something else I can't think of to satisfy the rule of threes), & then abandoned that idea before they got out of Wave 1 & into CI wave 1. I think the redeco is way better...the colors on the outfit look more ARAH Scarlett, to me, the hair looks red, & her face looks human, even if she has slightly darker skin for a redhead (they do exist lol).

I’m with Dusty and Dolemite in preferring the earlier Scarlett head, but I also think it’s good that Hasbro is mixing it up so people have a wider range of choices. I wish they’d have followed a lot of collectors and put a Luke Cage head on Roadblock too.
As far as the vest, I think it’s ambiguous whether it’s a particularly bullet resistant level III+ or IV plate carrier or an EOD vest, but one thing that isn’t ambiguous is that it seems at cross purposes with Firefly’s usual tactics, which call for unobserved infiltration and exfiltration with a lot of speed, flexibility, and dexterity. In my opinion that makes it a perfect Target exclusive alternate variant, and if we get a regular Firefly a bit later with a more traditional look and the same awesome camo, I and probably lots of others will be very happy.

Oh yeah, and I want to repeat: NICE job on the pouches on Firefly’s vest. They have good detail, and especially, it is **really** nice that they are actually the right size for rifle magazines.
Good job with those, and hope to see more of it! |

The biggest difference to me is that the old Scarlett looks like she isn't wearing any makeup. From a distance, you can hardly even see she has lips; they are washed out into the face. And there is something cartoony to the paint job. The new Scarlett just looks more "finished." Plus the old, neon orange hair makes absolutely no sense.

I got my Duke and Snake eyes repaints today. I like both versions looks like Dukes face has changed some maybe its just how it was painted but looks different to me for some reason. They fixed Snake eyes knife sheath and it looks like the visor might be a bit wider again could be the paint.

Is there anything else we should know about? Did they also remove the red on the elbow pads? |

There are still red lines on the elbow pads. As far as the head sculpt goes it is more defined you can see where the visor and the mask are seperate and the visor looks to be a little wider in the front.
