This is my first post so please be gentle :-)
I have 2 vintage Scarletts, one straight arm and one swivel. The straight arm figure's vest is a brighter yellow than the pale vest of the swivel - I have tried using H2O2 solution on the pale one but there is no change in colour. Could anyone tell me if the swivel was originally paler? I think, if it makes any difference, that the swivel one is the UK/Action force release. Thanks! |

I'm no help as I never had a vintage Scarlett and I don't collect it now.
But, if you haven't checked out home | YoJoe.com: Dedicated to the G.I.Joe of the 80's, 90's and beyond!, I suggest you do. It's a great resource for Joe collectors. Go into the toy archive and see what they have listed for variants and whatnot. I tnk there's even a section in the UK releases. Welcome to the Tank!

could it possibly be a difference in plastic grades? I know in my own custom work here and there that different plastics will slightly change the hue of the paint, but i'm not sure. I've never had any of the UK figures.

When you say the other one is an "Action Force" release which release are you talking about? I see AF Scarlett and I immediately think Quirrel. What markings are on that figure?

The original US version is an odd tan color. I wouldn't really call it yellow, it's more of...well, "dockers" colored. When you say the other one is an "Action Force" release which release are you talking about? I see AF Scarlett and I immediately think Quirrel. What markings are on that figure? |

It says 82-83 Hasbro, seller I got it from said it was the Action Force release. It is indeed a very pale creamy-yellow colour. Thanks for everyone's help :-)
