The Funko Pop Retro Toys theme is just awesome. This G.I.Joe Scarlett figure is my fourth purchase from the line (after She-Ra, Evil-Lyn, and Baroness) and I'm beyond thrilled with all of them. I was very close to ceasing my Funko collecting for various reasons, but this theme with all its perfect nostalgia has rejuvenated me. While my ideal version of every 80's character would be their animated designs, the vintage toy stylings represented here offer a different angle of childhood lore. Not bad, just different. Sure, She-Ra has a weird golden sword, Evil-Lyn is capeless and jaundiced, and this Scarlett is missing her signature ponytail. But these designs have just as much of a place in retro 80's mythos as anything else. In fact, I personally know a ton of collectors who much prefer toy designs to animation, so I'm glad Funko is catering to both audiences because I am on board for both. Fingers crossed for SilverHawks, TigerSharks, and ThunderCats! Let's check out the retro Scarlett Funko Pop below!
This Scarlett Pop mysteriously showed up at Walmart with Exclusive stickers on the box. I've seen them at multiple other stores previously so I'm not sure why this sticker exists. I convinced myself that her bodysuit was a different color than my first purchase (gray vs green), but when I got home I realized they were nearly identical. The only difference on mine is that the Walmart version has an unpainted grenade on her shoulder.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Scarlett with the recent Baroness Pop.
Cheers!
Obviously her main trait is her super red hair :) nice funko...colour of her costume is really nicely done
