As a longtime collector of G.I.Joe, there comes a time when the only exciting thing left is rather obscure rarities. Most avid fans will know that the early G.I.Joe molds were sometimes used by other countries. Occasionally this produced a fun variant with an abnormal color swap. But in other cases, it created a whole new character. The most notorious one of these new characters (in my female-centric opinion) was a blonde release of Scarlett wearing Silver and Blue under the name Glenda in the Argentinean Plastirima line. One of my first big collecting "wins" was nabbing an original Glenda at a decent price. Granted my version has a broken crotchpiece, a fused shoulder, and lots of paint rubs, but she's still a treasure of my collection. This Super7 Glenda was a surprise drop this past Summer that thrilled me. There have seen some half-baked homages to Glenda over the years (usually with red hair oddly), but this was the first true attempt to release her in the US. Let's check out Glenda below!
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are the three official Glenda figures so far: Super7 ReAction (2024), G.I.Joe Classified (2024), and Plastirama (1980s).
And with the 2008 Scarlett figure from Hasbro (in Glenda homage colors).
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. 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!
