1) Move the quiver closer to her "hind quarters," allowing the holster to fit on her hip. The problem is she wouldn't of been able to sit with the belt and quiver. 2) Have the holster on the small of her back. 3) Instead of the random thingy on her tigh they should have gave her a leg holster. 4) This is the one that I prefer. Have SCARLETT's holster like GRUNT's where she has a cross draw and forego the sculpted bullets or have them further back on the belt.

Immaculate body sculpt, clean paintwork, great articulation and range of motion, and a nice spread of accessories that goes above and beyond. I especially love the inclusion of fists, as they add so much more realism and personality in poses where she's just resting her hands at her sides or punching Cobras. There are issues though, many of which I feel have been plaguing this line for the last year or so. The headsculpt feels slightly off in a way, the bags under her eyes are a little heavy and the lower half of the face protrudes just a smidge too far away compared to the top. It is nowhere near as unappealing as Cover Girl's headsculpt though, and the face printing is nice and clean. The quality of the plastic also just feels cheaper all around, the joints don't feel as solid as they used to, and the weapons especially are so rubbery, with the crossbow regularly flexing around when she grips it with two hands. Speaking of weapons, the lack of holster for the pistol seems like a massive oversight, it really would've completed the look to have her hold all her stuff. But overall great figure, glad they actually got her out in this ridiculously awesome 80s getup in full, as I was honestly unsure we'd ever see it again in today's media landscape.
The early Classified lineup will always hold a special place for me, wave 1 Scarlett in particular is still one of my favorite figures that I own multiple of. Yes, the metallic armor was a bit gaudy, but I think with some further tweaks, future figures in the same style would've looked really cool. That being said, getting the retro Scarlett in hand has me feeling the ARAH itch. I need more retro figures that closely follow the original aesthetic of the brand. Particularly Flint, and maybe even another Lady Jaye. |

9/10
The ideal Scarlett for my display. Like Duke, she's near perfect. Hoping we see more elite retro releases like this and less of the Snow Serpent / EEL types of repaints. I agree with Firm on the feet. They're quite annoying. I wish they would have just flattened them out a bit for more stable posing. She's prone to taking a tumble here and there if you don't have her standing just right. Not sure I see the bags under the eyes that a few have mentioned. If they're there, I still much prefer this portrait to the underaged girl we got with the V1 release. That face looks more and more out of place as the line moves forward. I was previously using the Movie Scarlett in my display which to me is still an underrated figure. Alas, she has now been retired to the fodder bin. |

I gave her a 9.
I really like this figure. The only thing I wished was that they didn't have the hole for the belt to peg into. There really isn't any need to have the belt attach with the peg there. I wish there was another way to put her quiver though so that she can have a holster for her pistol. Unfortunately, the quiver gets in the way. I wish also that they were able to incorporate someting like the ROC Scarlet where she can holster her crossbow. I guess I'm just being very nitpicky. I do really like this figure. Oh yeah, and I wished they didn't make the bottom of her boots curve up, cause it's hard to stand her sometimes. Here she is with Duke. And with her two romantic interests

But ya, overall a few of the female portraits in Classified have been misses. Baroness, Zarana, and Helix have been solid though. |

She almost looks...Asian to me. Maybe they're trying to add some Asian heritage to Scarlett since she's ninja lady?

I gave her a 9. Took off a point for the handgun not having a holster. I also couldn't fit all four bolts into her quiver, but that wasn't a big enough deal to take away another point. I really like this figure and she'll look great in my Joe display.
