Released in April 2021 as part of Wave 4, there is no question that this is a good figure and she also happens to be the first female Classified figure with upgraded double-jointed elbows. But the head sculpt left many fans feeling disappointed and some even saying that she resembles SNL alumni Chris Kattan!
Lady Jaye comes with the following gear and accessories: a javelin missile launcher, (2) javelin spears, (3) removable javelin tips, a knife, a covert ops camera backpack, a removable backpack strap and (2) removable hair pieces (one is a full head of hair and the other is her baseball cap with hair). Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

I'll give her a six. The face sculpt isn't great, but Lady Jaye seems to be one of those figures that they never get the face sculpt right with. At least, not to how she appears in the cartoon. I like her updated gear, especially the GoPro-style camera. And the fact the extra spear tips can fit inside the backpack was a good design choice. Minus a point for painting the spear tips, but not the knife blade.

I voted 5. There's not much about this that feels inspired. She and Scarlett both feel generic, but I like Scarlett's freckles. Had they used Cover Girl's head sculpt on LJ, that would've been worth an 8.

Her face looks awful, the chest doesn't match the head and neck, she's missing the cleavage (which they oddly gave to Cover Girl), and the Retro face made it much better.
Otherwise, it's a fine figure and props to the inventive way to have her comic/card file or cartoon look. 6/10 |

I gave her a solid 7.

I give her a 9. I prefer the colors of this release to the retro version. Olive drab looks better than lime. Articulation is good. I like the choice of hat or hair. I'm not a fan of the GoPro, but I like the backpack spear tip storage. Maybe my standards are lower, but I don't have a problem with the face. I think she's an underrated figure.

I gave her an 8. She's a great update of the 3 3/4" figure, and really dig the double-elbow articulation. The only issue keeping her from getting a 10 is the fact that the "sideburns" on the non-hatted wig don't align correctly with the ears and gives off a bad wig vibe, making the non-hatted wig my only option. Which is a bummer because that ballcap is so crucial to the character.
Bonus, the non-hatted wig also looks great on the Action Force Popeye:

Easily a 7. While the face isn’t as strong as the other characters this is still a bar setter for female figures at this price point.
Double elbows, great ROM and removable hair pieces. She needed a proper firearm so luckily AC Snake Eyes had so many extras. |

Lady Jaye has the same problem as Artic Storm Shadow or Red Ninja. There is something off with all three of these. They just feel like 'toys' more than the other figures of the line. That's my best way to describe it.

That's true, there's nothing inherently wrong but something is off
