Description

G.I. Joe Scarlett Swivel Arm AFA 80 ** 2nd Highest Grade, Only 1 Higher ** (Hasbro, 1983). Debuting in Series 2 (1983), Scarlett was one of the original members of the G.I. Joe team and among the earliest female figures in the Real American Hero line. With her signature crossbow and bold red hair, she became a central character in the Sunbow cartoon and Marvel comic alike, standing shoulder to shoulder with Duke, Snake Eyes, and the rest of the Joe elite. Carded on a 32-back, this release ties directly to the formative years of the line, when Hasbro was still establishing the team's most enduring heroes. Graded AFA 80 NM+ with subgrades of C80 B85 F85, this figure ranks as the 2nd highest grade in the population report, with only 1 example graded higher (POP 15 total). With strong bubble and figure scores, it stands as one of the top-preserved examples of a character whose popularity has only grown over the decades. Scarlett remains a cornerstone of the G.I. Joe mythos and one of the most significant figures of the entire Real American Hero era. High-grade examples rarely appear, making this a rare opportunity to secure a piece that embodies the early strength and diversity of the Joe team.
