G.I. Joe Classified Scarlett Retro Style Custom by Julius Downey

Here’s another attempt at bringing those early Classified figures closer to what I liked about the originals I had in the 80s. For me, the original 82/83 Scarlett was a terrible looking figure, but the card illustration of the character was so good, that I looked past the derpy figure. Both the card art, plus the characterization of Scarlett in the Marvel Comics kept me a fan of the character (even though the original figure was always a disappointment).

Nice! Great color scheme!

That is beautiful!

Thanks. Did my best to create something that gave me that feeling of what I wanted of a figure that reflected what I imagined of the character that was on the original card art.

That was a mouthful of grammatical nonsense.

Very nice.

Looking really good. If they aren't releasing a classic one anytime soon at least they could paint it in classic colors.

Thanks!
The original 80s aerobics/Jane Fonda outfit was really simple. I thought about replicating that exactly, but there?s a lot of complicated details to the classified sculpt that I thought it would be strange to just block out the colors from the 80s costume. Also, I cut off that weird shoulder pauldron thing on her left shoulder and added an armor piece. That felt like it wanted to another color other than the shirt color.

Not exactly the 80s costume, it in the spirit of it, I guess.

Love what you've done here. Definitely a massive leap in the right direction.

She looks great! Is the entire head repainted as well? I feel like my Scarlett has a pale ghost skin tone kind of like the new retro Gung-Ho (my only complaint about him).

Thanks. Glad you like the interpretation.
I just repainted the eyes and eyebrows. I added a red wash to the hair as well. The eyes on my figure originally were a little “ambiguous”; difficult to get a read on the pupils and the expression felt weirdly “happy” in a Barbie doll kind of way.
