Scarlett v10 - GI Joe 2008



Scarlett v10 (sometimes called Pilot Scarlett or Glenda) was released as part of the 25h Anniversary line and features Scarlett in a pilot's flight suit. This figure was done as a tribute to a foreign exclusive figure which reused the v1 Scarlett mold but released her in with blond hair and a blue and silver uniform. The foreign figure's name was Glenda.


Scarlett came with quite a few accessories including: a vest, backpack, helmet, crossbow, pistol, and figure stand. Even though this she's dressed in a pilot uniform, I fell like this version could also work as an arctic Scarlett.

Even though this figure doesn't feature Scarlett in her original uniform, I do like that she has her hair back in a pony tail and is able to wear a helmet. In some of the earliest issues of the GI Joe comic Scarlett used to wear a tan helmet that looked like all the other original Joe's helmets. I really like this figure, in addition to the loose figure shown here, I also have a carded sample on display in my toy room.

  1. I had this one carded for a short while but either traded or gave it away to a fellow collector.

  2. She looks awesome especially in that snow!I wish they would have designed her cross bow a little better as it always falls apart on my Scarlet.

    1. Yeah, I wish they didn't make the out of two pieces. It's an odd shape to make a mold of as a single piece.
