Super7 ReAction - SCARLETT (DIC)!

ReAction Action Figures - G.I.Joe Super7 Exc - Scarlett (DIC) - Super7 2024

Shanna Scarlett O'Hara was a big deal in the original Sunbow-produced run of G.I.Joe. She was in a ton of episodes, was an implied love interest for the two main male heroes (Duke and Snake-Eyes) at different points, and she even garnered some backstory (which very few characters got). She was the main female hero of the series (with Lady Jaye being a close second). But when the series was rebooted by DIC Enterprises after a two year hiatus, she really seemed to lose her status. She didn't appear until episode 22 (of 44), and that was in a nonspeaking cameo. And only made 6 brief appearances after that before the series ended. In most of those episodes she appeared in a saturated redeco of her classic look, with purple arms and legs in place of gray/green. This ReAction figure was a surprise Super7 store exclusive a couple weeks ago in conjunction with the recent Target exclusive Baroness and Lady Jaye in their similar redeco'd looks. Let's check out Scarlett below!

















Scarlett comes with her signature crossbow and a quiver of arrow in a muted blue plastic.





























Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here are the three DIC variant ladies so far: Lady JayeBaroness, and Scarlett.




And here are the original Lady Jaye (2022)Baroness (2022), and Scarlett (2021) for reference.




And here are all the Scarlett mold variants so far. From Left to Right: Tiger Force (2023), DIC (2024), Sunbow (2021), Glenda (2024), and Glow Patrol (2022).




Also, just for reference, here are all my classic G.I.Joe Scarlett molds. I always presumed the second from the Left was meant to be the DIC design. From Left to Right: Plastirama Glenda (1980s),
Toyfare Agent Scarlett (2003), Scarlet v1.5 (1983), Scarlett v3 "Stars and Stripes Forever" (1997), and Quarrel (1984).




Cheers!
