Agent Helix is an intriguing but frustrating character for me. I was first exposed to her when I picked up a solo comic introducing her in conjunction with the upcoming G.I.Joe the Rise of Cobra live action movie. Soon she had an action figure released and I was very excited to see this new character on the big screen. But, unfortunately, she was not in the movie, but was rather an original creation for the movie tie-in video game. I was pretty disappointed to say the least. Only because I don't play video games (and the movie was so bland to me that I don't even remember it). I still liked the original 2009 toy, which surprisingly had a completely new sculpt, but I figured the character would fade into obscurity. (Interestingly, her head was reused for new B-list legacy figures; Dialtone and G.I.Jane). Needless to say, I was pretty surprised to see her added to the Classified lineup last year. But she actually fits in with the aesthetic of the line (and her armblades are wild). Let's check out Agent Helix below!
Helix comes with two swords, a scabbard she can wear on her back, a machete blade, two small guns, and two amazing blades with wrist-mounted cuffs and two hinges for spider-like poseability. I don't know what the reference was for these blades, but to me they are a character-making accessory (like Scarlett's crossbow or Lady Jaye's javelins).
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is my most recent batch of G.I.Joe Classified ladies.
Cheers!
