Released in August 2022 as part of the debut wave of Wal-Mart's exclusive Retro assortment, the "retro" version of Lady Jaye has a lot of changes compared to her original mainline release.
Retro Lady Jaye comes with the following weapons and accessories: a javelin missile spear with a removable spear tip and an alternate and removable spear tip explosive, a javelin missile launcher, a removable baseball cap and hair, a backpack, a spy camera and a stand. Differences between her first release and this figure are: 1) - A new, brighter color deco for her green jumpsuit. 2) - Her baseball cap is black and has the more faithful (to the ARAH design) paratrooper infantry logo now. 3) - Paint apps on her face are slightly improved (some fans still thought she needed an all-new head). 4) - All-new retro styled backpack. 5) - All-new retro style film camera accessory. 6) - This release only comes with a single javelin instead of two. 7) - Her javelin and javelin missile launcher are painted silver instead of black this time. 8) - She did not include the alternate hair piece for this release. 9) - She does not come with the removable web gear/backpack strap for this release. 10) - This figure comes with a stand. **Like the other retro figures from wave 1 and wave 2, the card stock on these figures is not as sturdy as it probably should be and most people received damaged card backs in the mail when the figures started shipping out. 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!!!

A solid 9 for me. They fixed the idiotic mismatched skin of the neck and made her look less like Chris Kattan.
It's a shame she's rotted so hard because I think this really is one of the best offerings in the line, especially for the dollar value. |

A 7, from me. It improves on the face sculpt of the original, but I really don't think we needed this version. It feels like this retro slot could have been used for a different character, like Scarlett. I also preferred the camera mount from the original, rather than re-creating the camera she came with in the 80s, which is extremely outdated in the 2020s. She also comes with fewer accessories... one less spear and two fewer spear heads. I do like that they painted her knife, which they didn't do on the original. I also feel both versions should have come with a pistol, of some sort... you can't JUST use javelins in combat.

I gave mine a spare Cover Girl holster and pistol now for that reason.

And let's face it - she's supposed to be an infiltrator so she should never have the damn javelins at all and instead have a silenced pistol, knives, etc. Lady Jaye's armament never made sense. |

I'm giving her 7, the cardback's very nostalgic with that light green coloring, it was cool they swapped her Go-Pro to one of those older camcorders, the make-up's fixed-no complaints other than she clogs pegs

Gave her a 7. I gave the original an 8 and this one loses a point because I'm not a fan of the make up on her, probably one of the few that like the mainline classified better. And the accessories don't look as good overall as the mainline one. But can understand people who prefer this one because she does look retro and has an older look/feeling.
