Here’s another attempt at bringing those early Classified figures closer to what I liked about the originals I had in the 80s. For me, the original 82/83 Scarlett was a terrible looking figure, but the card illustration of the character was so good, that I looked past the derpy figure. Both the card art, plus the characterization of Scarlett in the Marvel Comics kept me a fan of the character (even though the original figure was always a disappointment).

Thanks. Did my best to create something that gave me that feeling of what I wanted of a figure that reflected what I imagined of the character that was on the original card art.
That was a mouthful of grammatical nonsense. |

Looking really good. If they aren't releasing a classic one anytime soon at least they could paint it in classic colors.

Not exactly the 80s costume, it in the spirit of it, I guess. |

She looks great! Is the entire head repainted as well? I feel like my Scarlett has a pale ghost skin tone kind of like the new retro Gung-Ho (my only complaint about him).

I just repainted the eyes and eyebrows. I added a red wash to the hair as well. The eyes on my figure originally were a little “ambiguous”; difficult to get a read on the pupils and the expression felt weirdly “happy” in a Barbie doll kind of way.
