Generally, you wouldn't get any argument from me on the above viewpoint.

But for this specific figure, I'd have to disagree. Nothing about that facesculpt (or those lips) reminds me of Resolute Scarlett.

I'm not saying they have to be big or even red.

But making the lips a tad more pouty might've been a good first step to improving the facesculpt.

Ok, if you're arguing for "likeness" then I'll agree. But the whole lips thing is why I've disliked nearly every female character depiction in the Joe universe in the last couple years. Especially most depictions of Scarlett.

Found some close-up pics of the Resolute faces and headsculpts: http://www.cooltoyreview.com/TF2010/GIJoe/.

Okay, I take back my comment about Scarlett's lips; they don't need to be any "pouty-er." :lol:

But I think I realize now why I'm not feeling this version: in Resolute, Scarlett was always looking pissed off (or at least a little dour). This one instead has a "deer-in-the-headlights" look to her. Not a good look for Ms. O'Hara.

It's like the first 25th Anniversary Lady Jaye all over again (where the eyes just killed the whole look of the face).

However, upon closer inspection, it looks like Hasbro used a new headsculpt for the Resolute Flint. I was a little worried that they had just reused the 25th Anniversary version's head.

My TRU has a huge sale on old 25th stuff, I just picked up a Firefly/trooper pack for 9.99. They had other stuff as well, they still had 25th G1 Prime there, but he was 60...not worth it when I already have a G1 Prime.

Anyhow, what's the word on the Mospeada-type cycle coming out? I plan on buying several for customs.

The cycle I believe is pushed back until later fall. I think alpha vehicle wave 2 or 3.
