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. |
