dont know, they just said last week in the last q and a that it was cancelled, im so tempted to buy a few right now

i think it was the arctic 2 pack that was cancelled not the fig.
its now being released as pilot scarlett in rise of cobra toy range.

all the movie figures i have found are like this, hasbro take no care over the comic pack or the movie figures, thats why they normally work out cheaper than the general releases. im suprised so many of you on here are so excited by a 25th figure, (no offence meant) i wouldnt have expected that!
im thinking about putting all my 25th stuff up for sale/trade, including customs.
one thing i will say about this new scarlet, & im not trying to put a downer on things here but a few of you seem to think this could be a nod towards hasbro taking notice of action force, i just find that hard to believe! i think this is much the same as palitoys laziness in accessorising! for example, the z force deep sea diver with jet pack, to me thats palitoy execs just picking the 1st accessory out of a box, well i think this figure is just hasbro being lazy & just using the 1st old colour scheme they laid their hands on!
obviously this is all just theory, but seems to make sense to me..... if anyone disagrees then fair enough, like i said i could be wrong! if hasbro are taking notice then great, but is that really likely? if they listened to public opinion, would they not have gone back to o-ring waists by now?

well last year hasbro did some INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION joes with a special logo and where they were from

now the 3 they did were all from South America and they noted that on the packaging.

this color scheme is indeed a nod to Quarrel and Action Force. If this figure was widly successful, I believe it could be one step into more toys

and like it or not but the new figures are incredibly popular out there right now.

dont get me wrong im not replacing or getting rid of my 0 ring joes for 25th style in any way but I will say I like them , and maybe just as much as the 0 ring style

i hope that isnt sacriligious on this board LOL

Oh it's clearly Quarrel, she even has red throwing stars.

I've bought one. Expect a photoset of her in the Z Force Command Centre!!

Although with that red hair, she's Scarlett... Quarrel / Scarlett... Scarlett / Quarrel...

She's Squirrel!
