Re: CHECK THIS OUT
That is correct, I got her from the Taobao auction, BUT it took a little work. It passed through a couple of hands before it got to me.
Jamar, I will do one better and give the review and everything here so it is Exclusive to you. Like I was telling Baron, the Action Force crowd got the shaft big time from the club and even though International figures will be featured as the convention exclusives, it is a hollow victory because the 15 figure set itself could have (no, SHOULD HAVE) been more original such as Red Shadows. So a little something for you guys who continue to beat the fan drum for more international flavor in our daily mix of Joe!
The figure itself is clearly an early sample, either that or it was of a shoddy construction. The legs are on the wobbly side and the knees turn real easy. The plastic itself seems cheap. HOWEVER, this aside, and minus the blonde hair of course, this would make an excellent Quarrel homage to the fans. Since this figure does not have long hair, you can put the 25th/Modern Era "Glenda" helmet on her if you like. Beyond that, she is not much different than the original Scarlett with Pilot Scarlett's head - minus the stun grenade on the left shoulder. Rumor still has this coming out as some sort of comic pack featuring Cobra Commander in the Arctic. I do not know if this is still the plan or not, but it would seem that everything we've seen early as of late has come out in one form or another, so here is hoping. From what I know, she WILL NOT be a convention exclusive - but the club has thrown us curveballs before - much to our own disappointment.
Anyway gents, enjoy!!

your awesome! thank you so much
hell ya we did, man what a dissapoitment, they could have had a real winner too had they done a Red Shadow set, and its not likely they will do one next year, as that would make two RED Sets in a row and I dont think they would do that ...........sadlycmderinchief wrote: ................................

dammmm. but I guess if she comes to retail still then it will be cheaper and more readily available for all of us to get.cmderinchief wrote: .........................From what I know, she WILL NOT be a convention exclusive - but the club has thrown us curveballs before - much to our own disappointment.
