Figure Description:
This swivel-arm version was released carded as part of the second series
(1983). The swivel-arm Scarlett was available in stores in 1984 and was discontinued domestically in 1985.
|
Versions of Scarlett:
In 2002, Scarlett was renamed "Agent Scarlett," renamed Scarlett in 2004, and went back to Agent Scarlett for a 2005 release. So while there are multiple names, they are all based on the character "Scarlett".

Accessories:
Scarlett came with a black XK-1 Power Crossbow.

Variations:
When the old version of Scarlett was replaced in 1983, the straight-arms were replaced with arms that could swivel at the bicep. Also, the date stamp on the figure was changed from "1982" to "82-83". While technically only a variation, the changes are substantive enough to consider this a new version. However, as many people consider this only a variation, we have chosen to list this figure as version 1.5, rather than version 2. Other than straight-arm and swivel-arm releases, no variations of Scarlett are known to exist.
There are two versions of Scarlett's filecard. The filecard with the Scarlett available from Hasbro Direct has a glossy red backing, while the filecard that came with Scarlett did not. Scarletts included with the Sears or JCPenney's exclusive gift packs also had the red backing.

Body Construction:
As the first female figure released as part of G.I.Joe, her body parts were completely origninal. The mold was re-used in 1997 to create Scarlett (v3) and in 2004 with Agent Scarlett (v3). In 2005, her torso, arms, waist, and uper legs were re-used for Agent Scarlett (v4).
Note that Scarlett's feet do not have the peg hole - she is the only G.I.Joe action figure that was released without these holes.
Also, note that the figure's head only turns left and right - it does not allow the head to look up and down. The heads only turned left and right until the the swivel ball head that was introduced in 1985 (Series Four).

International Variants:
In Brazil and Mexico, Scarlett was released in colors similar to the U.S. version, except her uniform was more white than tan.
In the United Kingdom and Europe, Scarlett was recolored with blonde hair and a black and green uniform and released with the RAM motorcycle as Quarrel. This version of the figure was also available in the U.S. as a convention exclusive called "Undercover Scarlett" in 1992.
