The more of these new figs I see, the less I'm liking them.

The construction looks like sigma six characters. No way they are compatible with what I've already got. I don't know why people are saying they are so detailed. They say the same thing about new sculpt stuff. The ARAH stuff form about 1986 forward is way more detailed than these figures or the new sculpt stuff except for maybe the heads.

Because the nu skulpt stuff usually had sharper edges to the sculpts as opposed to soft edges. And to protect the old stuff, of course the 86+ figures have more 'stuff' on them. These were the original designs from the early/mid 80s and mass gear on them wasn't an issue. Look at 1982. How can you even pick on them when it's meant to be simplistic?

THis Scar works for me. I don't have a Scarlet figure i'm happy with now. Same with Duke.

The construction would be more accurate to say Microman articulation even tho MM still has more. I'll be getting these regardless.

I agree that the 1982 Scarlett is neither realistic looking or very detailed. And yes all the ARAH figures before 1985 or so weren't very detailed. It really is next to impossible to use those figures from the first few years in dios with older figures. But this new Scarlett isn't very detailed or realistic either. The comic pack Cover Girl is a much cooler figure. It is the perfect example of a new sculpt based on the original figure done right.

But you're missing the point. Cover Girl was based on the comic renditon from DD because those are comic pack characters. Plus, DD updated her look. 25th Scarlet is based on a 1982 design so it's not like anything would be added or taken away. It'd be more accurate to say that this is how the current sculptors would do the 82-85 designs.

At least they gave her long hair.

And try comparing DTC SawViper and Rollbar to ARAH Falcon or SKy Patrol Airborne and tell me the sculpting isn't tighter on the newer stuff in some cases.

I can like this Scarlett. But she is not what I was expecting. Talkin' with Nem on MSN I told him that this wasn't the sculpt I was expecting, but have to admit that the colors are very good. I just worried about the joints, look at the waist join with the legs. It is ball jointed, my issue here is that it can became loose, what would trough away posing possibilities, since I'm a toy photo taker.

That looks a lot like Micro-Man style construction. Pretty cool.

Also, based on that side-by-side comparison, if we assume that Scarlett is a little shorter than the others in the line, it appears these figures will indeed be larger than ARAH and later new-sculpt characters. I'm guessing maybe they'll be about the size of the JvC and SpyTroops figs. Not perfect, but still manageable.

I'm sure many of us have already seen it, but our old friends General Hawk has posted a joint review (with Fred from JBL) of this figure at General's Joes.

It seems to have some problems sitting, but overall, I still think it's pretty phenomenal. I love how her hands are designed to hold her crossbow with a proper two-handed grip.

Judging from these photos, I'll be glad to display the 25th Joes alongside my Marvel Legends, Transformers, etc.-- Something I don't do with my current Joes. Looking at this Scarlett next to her comic pack incarnation makes me realize just how much was wrong with that figure that I'd never noticed till now!
