I assume they are using Blackout Scarlett because they don't have to change the skin tone on the figure.

Obviously, Lady Jaye would make more sense but they'd have to change a bunch of skin tone. And I presume no Baroness because they don't want girls to pick a bad girl.

The skin tone thing is definitely a big factor. We had also heard that the Selfie Series would utilize molds that were not being used currently, so it doesn't necessarily rule out a new Scarlett.

I know Snake Eyes is Snake Eyes, but with the announcement of the Retro Walmart v1 figure and the general move to straight-up ARAH aesthetics, I think chances are good we'll get a proper v1 Scarlett eventually.

Yeah, that's actually really promising.

$80 MSRP, 45-60 days to produce and ship (so 3-9 months faster than the rest of GI Joe Classified, ha).

I'm not so sure I have any interest at that pricepoint. Not for Snake Eyes.

Aw... don't you want to see a Big Bully Busick head on a Snake Eyes body?

Agree completely. Steel Brigade or some Crimson Guards (or other troopers) and I may be interested.

Exactly those two.

Steel Brigade and Crimson Guard for myself.

Although I will likely get my wife's head on Scarlett.

Have you read about how the mobile app will be used? You need to submit 5 shots (via the app, I believe) at specific angles and with the same facial expressions.

This seems pretty wise to get around ethical considerations of non-consensual action figure building. Y'know, nobody wants to find out their creepy ex-boyfriend or girlfriend made an action figure of them. ;)

Dammit. So much for getting a Bobby Vala as Snake-Eyes made!

I'm assuming the head will be swappable with any other figure. Does anyone know for sure if this is indeed the case?
