+My Review+
[11 July 2008]

Scarlett is one of my 10 favourite Gijoes.

I knew about her when i was kid, around 1986/87 when the Gijoe cartoon was first aired in Italy. Watching the episodes, i often seen some characters not available with the toylines: i always wondered about who was "Doc", "Gung-ho", "The Baroness" and all the others chracteres created before the 1985 Gijoe toyline. In Italy, our first Gijoe wave was composed by the american 1985 wave, including Destro, Zartan, Storm Shadow and Cobra Troopers as extra. So, Scarlett was one of the characters that i was not able to recognize. I learned about her skills and profile just watching the cartoon. Many years after, thanks to internet, i discovered more about the first waves of the Gijoe line, and so, about Scarlett.

My personal Scarlett in action!

+Rachel Nichols as Scarlett+

In the past, like today, Hasbro use often faces and names of real people for Gijoes. We have several characters based on living persons. About some of them, we are sure, but... others maybe not. Some Gijoes are very similar to popular actors, musicians, and more. One of this is surely Outback: more then any other Joes is very very similar to Chuck Norris! It could be not a coincidence! Look at this picture: is Chuck from 1985's Missing in Action II. I don't know if im right, but, from when i was kid until today, Outback is Chuck Norris :P

+What is Intelligence?+

Military Intelligence (abbreviated MI, int. Commonwealth, or intel. U.S., or J2 U.S.), is a military discipline which supports the commanders decision making process by providing informed analysis of available data from a wide range of sources. To provide that informed analysis the commanders information requirements are identified and input to a process of gathering, analysis, protection, and dissemination of information about the operational environment, hostile, friendly and neutral forces and the civilian population in an area of operations and broader area of interest. Intelligence activities are conducted at all levels from tactical to strategic, during peacetime, transition to war and in war.

Most militaries maintain a military intelligence capability to provide analytical and information collection personnel in both specialist units and from other arms and services.Personnel selected for intelligence duties, whether specialist Intelligence officers and enlisted soldiers or non-specialist assigned to intelligence may be selected for their analytical abilities and intelligence before receiving formal training.
Intelligence should respond to the needs of the commander, based on the military objective and the outline plans for the operation. The military objective provides a focus for the estimate process, from which a number of information requirements are derived, information requirements may be related to terrain and impact on vehicle or personnel movement, disposition of hostile forces, sentiments of the local population and capabilities of the hostile order of battle.

In response to the information requirements the analysis staff will trawl existing information identifying gaps in the available knowledge. Where gaps in knowledge exist the staff may be able to task collection assets to collect against the requirement.

Analysis reports draw on all available sources of information, whether drawn from existing material or collected in response to the requirement. The analysis reports are used to inform the remaining planning staff, influencing planning and seeking to predict adversary intent.

+Scarlett Origins+

The surname O'Hara its for sure from Ireland. Scarlett have also the tipical irish skin and red hair. Scarlett grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta, the south-east city of the main scene of the famous and classic movie "Gone with the Wind". The codename "Scarlett" is clearly inspired to Scarlett "Gone with the Wind" O'Hara, especially because Gijoe Scarlett is named "Shana O'Hara". Atlanta is an important historical city of the United States of America. Also, Georgia is one of the first states of America: was one of the original Thirteen Colonies that revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. It was the last of the Thirteen Colonies to be established as a colony, in 1733. It was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January 2, 1788. It seceded from the Union on January 21, 1861 and was one of the original seven Confederate states. It was the last state readmitted to the Union, on July 15, 1870. Georgia is also known as the Peach State and the Empire State of the South. I think that its important for a character like Scarlett, to grew in a city with a consistent historical heritage: she's not just a martial arts expert, she also graduated summa cum laude from two Ivy League universities, so her culture is huge, and also, the facts in the history of Atlanta and Georgia gave to her a kind of fighting spirit, a flame that never surrender. It could be more easy for me to explain this concept in my language (im italian), but, i hope you'll understand anyway what i mean :)

ATLANTA—Georgia is known for its peaches. And in its capital city, there are dozens of places named for the fuzzy fruit - from businesses to streets like Peachtree Plaza, Peachtree Way and Peachtree Park Drive, to name a few. But it's the original Peachtree Street that is the spine of the city.

Running north and south from the heart of downtown Atlanta to suburban Buckhead and beyond, you could actually use the route as a key to the city. To be sure, not all of Atlanta's biggest attractions are on Peachtree - you won't find the Georgia Aquarium here, or the New World of Coca-Cola. But you will find plenty of hotels, some interesting landmarks, shopping and other places to visit.

+Character Biography+

Scarlett was one of the first members of the G.I.Joe team, and the first female. She is as beautiful as she is deadly. Scarlett's father and three brothers were martial arts instructors. She began her training at age 9 and was awarded her first black belt in Tae Kwon Do at the age of fifteen, and has continued her training in several other martial arts. She was not only physically ahead of her time, but mentally as well. She graduated summa cum laude from two Ivy League universities and went on to excel in training courses at all four branches of the armed forces.

The Cobra organization often mistakes Scarlett for just a pretty face rather than a member of the elite G.I.Joe team, which makes her perfect for undercover missions. Her skills at intelligence gathering are top notch: the U.S. military relies on special agents to gather information about the plans of its enemies. These agents put their lives on the line to find and bring back this important knowledge. Scarlett started her counterintelligence work by analyzing evidence, setting up surveillance equipment, and preparing reports. After she proved her abilities in small missions, she began to conduct field operations. Much of her job is finding and verifying information, but that's dangerous work when you're dealing with sources that are part of the evil Cobra organization. Scarlett may seem open and friendly on the outside: she is a great friend to each of the Joes, but most of her past is cloaked in secrecy and the only G.I.Joe team member who truly knows what is in her heart is Snake Eyes. In her spare time, Scarlett teach women's self-defense seminars at various universities.

Graduated Advanced Infantry Training and Ranger School.
Special Ed. Covert Ops School; Marine Sniper School; Specialized Air Service School; Marine Tae Kwan Do Symposium.
Qualified Expert M-14; M-16; M-1911A1; M-79; M-3A1; M-700 (Remington Sniper Rifle); Mac-10; XK-1 Power Crossbow; Throwing Stars; Garotte; Ka-Bar.

What Gijoes have to say about Scarlett:

-"Beauty may be only skin deep, but lethal goes to the bone."
-"Scarlett is confident and resilient . . . it's remarkable that a person so deadly can still retain a sense of humor."

From General Hawk's Files "I call it a blessing to have Scarlett on the team. She's tough, smart, reliable, and okay—beautiful. She keeps the team in line, and the enemy on their toes. I value her skills as both a martial artist and an undercover operative. Snake-Eyes and she have been through a lot. They work well as a team, on and off the battlefield. I'd put her up against the best COBRA has to offer, and sleep well at night, knowing she will return—mission accomplished."

"I'm not just one of the 'guys'; I'm better." - Scarlett
"People ask me what it takes to be a good agent. I say integrity, courage, and intelligence." - Scarlett

Comics Biography
Courtesy of Jmm's Gijoe Encyclopedia


Scarlett was born in Atlanta, Georgia where her father and three older brothers were martial arts instructors. Scarlett got along well with her father and brothers, beginning her training at nine years of age. They discovered that Scarlett had a natural affinity for the ancient fighting arts and was only fifteen when she was awarded a black belt. Scarlett and her sister Siobhan never got along well, and they drifted apart as they got older. After joining the Army, Scarlett received a varied education, attending Covert Ops School, Marine Sniper School, Special Air Service School and the Marine Tae Kwon Do symposium. Scarlett has participated in many martial arts tournaments and is also qualified as an Army hand-to-hand combat trainer. She is proficient in various weaponry, including the XK-1 power crossbow and many martial arts weapons such as shuriken, garrote and ka-bar.

Scarlett was one of the original members of the Joe team and one of her first assignments was training the new team in hand-to-hand combat. During one such exercise, Scarlett first met Snake-Eyes. She bested most of the team's members, but she recognized that Snake-Eyes was a superior fighter, yet had allowed Scarlett to beat him. This had Scarlett intrigued and they became close rather quickly. On a mission into the middle east, Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, Rock 'n Roll and Grunt were sent to save George Strawhacker from Cobra. On the way, a helicopter accident forced the Joes to bail out, but Scarlett was stuck in the burning chopper. Snake-Eyes stayed behind to save her. He saved Scarlett, but a window exploded in his face, scarring him and damaging his vocal cords. Scarlett was knocked unconscious and when she came to, she found herself on the medivac helicopter and discovered Snake-Eyes and the others had continued on without her. Afterward, they became even closer.

Scarlett became a vital member of the G.I. Joe team, even commanding some missions from the very beginning. During many missions together, Scarlett and Clutch had an antagonistic relationship. She saw him as little more than a chauvanist pig, and Clutch gave her little reason to think otherwise. Despite this, they worked well together during a mission to protect an American ambassador who they thought was to be assassinated by Cobra. The diplomat turned out to be the assassin, intent on killing the other nation's ambassador to spark a war. Fortunately, the assassin was stopped thanks to Scarlett's good timing and a bullet-proof vest. Along with Zap and Snake-Eyes, Scarlett was one of the first Joes to set foot and Springfield, a Cobra-controlled town hidden in the United States. There, they met a mysterious boy named Billy, who would later be revealed to be Cobra Commander's son, helped them escape.Unfortunately, they never learned the actual location of Springfield. Scarlett continued on with the team and was captured by Storm Shadow, the Cobra ninja. Soon afterward she was rescued by Snake-Eyes. It was later discovered that Storm Shadow was Snake-Eyes' close friend from Vietnam -- Tommy Arashikage -- and that they had trained in the same ninja clan.

At the opening ceremony for the renovated Pit, Scarlett and several other original Joes received promotions. For a time Scarlett was taken off active duty and served behind a desk in the Pit. During this time, Scarlett and Snake-Eyes were on leave, riding the Staten Island ferry when they were attacked by a group of Cobra's Crimson Guardsmen led by Fred Broca II. Snake-Eyes and Scarlett fought off the Cobras, sending Fred II into the river. Later, Snake-Eyes and Stalker discovered Fred II was really Wade Collins, a friend of theirs from Vietnam. They helped Wade leave Cobra and start a new life for himself. Scarlett returned to active duty and Springfield when the Joes invaded the town. During the battle, Scarlett was wounded. When Doc told her she was "out of this fight," she answered: "Not by a long shot! Just give me a rifle and point me in the right direction!" After that battle, Storm Shadow burst into a training session in the Pit. He was looking for Snake-Eyes and Scarlett tried to protect him. Storm Shadow wasn't out to get Snake-Eyes. He was asking his clan brother's forgiveness and vowed to end the search for vengeance that had nearly destroyed him. Snake-Eyes gave him the key to his cabin in the High Sierras to let him sort out his life. Scarlett and Snake-Eyes let Storm Shadow escape the Pit, knowing he never intended to harm anyone.

Scarlett led a mission into the nation of Sierra Gordo when Snake-Eyes was captured there by Cobra forces. The Joes were unable to rescue Snake-Eyes and he was taken to the Cobra Consulate in New York. With Storm Shadow's help, Scarlett infiltrated the Consulate and rescued Snake-Eyes. Months later, when Stalker, Snow Job and Quick Kick were thrown into a gulag in the Soviet country of Borovia, Snake-Eyes and Scarlett defied orders to rescue Stalker and the others. They faked their own deaths, fooling even Lady Jaye and Flint, who had accompanied them on vacation in Grenada. They and the Blind Master went undercover in a circus that was traveling around eastern Europe, posing as acrobats and knife-throwers. When they returned home, Hawk decided not to reprimand them. Flint was angry that they had left he and Lady Jaye out of the mission and fooled them into thinking they were dead. He came to realize that Scarlett and Snake-Eyes only kept them out if it to protect them. Over the next few years, the four of them would become close friends. Shortly after their return Snake-Eyes and Scarlett went on a special mission into Asia along with Chuckles and Iceberg. The group's mission went on for months when many possible extraction sites were compromised. As a result, they were not a part of the Cobra Island civil war and the subsequent rescue of Hawk from corrupt government officials. After that mission's conclusion, Scarlett, Snake-Eyes, Flint and Lady Jaye went on an undercover mission into eastern Europe to monitor Cobra activity in the region.

Eventually, Snake-Eyes decided it was time to try and undergo reconstructive surgery to repair his damaged face. He only wanted to be able to be in public with Scarlett like some many other "normal" people could do. During his surgery in Bern, Switzerland, Scarlett was attacked by the Baroness who thought Snake-Eyes had killed her brother in Vietnam back in 1968. To spite him, the Baroness shot Scarlett in the head, putting her into a coma for months. While unconscious, Scarlett's sister Siobhan tried to have her sister taken off life support. Meanwhile, Storm Shadow sent the despondent Snake-Eyes into Borovia on a mission, hoping he could forget what had happened to Scarlett. When Scarlett awoke from her coma, she almost killed Storm Shadow, believing he had caused Snake-Eyes' death. Snake-Eyes survived his mission, and he and Scarlett were reunited. Soon afterward, they both participated in the Battle of Benzheen, during which many Joes lost their lives.

Scarlett's next assignment was to pretend she betrayed the Joes and joined Cobra. Even Snake-Eyes learned of the plan after Scarlett had left. Scarlett was rescued from Cobra during a major battle in Millville, a town taken over by Cobra. The Joes liberated the town and Scarlett returned to the team. Scarlett and Snake-Eyes soon took some much deserved time off and stayed at Snake-Eyes' cabin in the High Sierras. Unfortunately, Snake-Eyes was soon forced back into duty. Despite being upset, Scarlett gave Snake-Eyes her blessing since the mission was to rescue Storm Shadow. In what was one of Snake-Eyes' last missions for the Joe team, he attacked Destro's castle in Eastern Europe. Cobra Commander had taken over the castle and brainwashed Storm Shadow and many other former Cobra members. They now swore allegiance to Cobra and fought against the Joes against their will. Snake-Eyes attempted to free Storm Shadow, but failed. Soon afterward, the word came from the Pentagon that the Joe team was being shut down. At an emotional ceremony at Joe headquarters in Utah, the Joes "retired the colors" leaving the Pit an abandoned army base.

After the Joe team was shut down, Scarlett and Snake-Eyes were engaged to be married, and retired to a house in Georgia. During that time, Snake-Eyes agreed to train the young woman named Ophelia to be the last student of the Arashikage clan. She was to undergo her final trial, but Snake-Eyes continued her training, which began to worry Scarlett. She didn't know that Snake-Eyes was planning to go on one final commando mission to train Ophelia. Duke, now working covert ops, asked Snake-Eyes to join a mission to capture Firefly. Only a week before his planned marraige to Scarlett, Snake-Eyes went on the mission without telling Scarlett, believing she wouldn't approve. The mission turned sour and a number of soldiers involved -- including Ophelia -- were killed. She had been his apprentice, but she also reminded him of his late sister, and her death devastated him. He didn't return to Scarlett for a week, and the day of their wedding came and went. When he finally arrived in Georgia, Snake-Eyes and Scarlett spoke briefly, but the damage was done and their engagement was ended. Snake-Eyes retreated to the seclusion of his mountain cabin while Scarlett tried to move on with her life. She did not see Snake-Eyes for years.

In 2001, the G.I. Joe Team was reinstated by the government in reponse to Cobra's return to the United States. Duke brought many of the older Joes to help train and lead a batch of new recruits and Scarlett is now one of the team's highest ranking field commanders. Snake-Eyes is also a member of the new team. At first, Scarlett maintained a necessary working relationship with Snake-Eyes, but she had not yet forgiven him and barely acknowledged him when off duty. After the couple was captured by Cobra during the nano-mite incident, they reconciled with each other while facing their possible deaths. They were again engaged to be married, but continued to work with the Joe team.

Scarlett's many missions for the new team have included battling mutated soldiers in the arctic, rescuing Flint and the Baroness from Russian mobsters, stopping Tyler Wingfield's terrorist plot and battling against a revived Serpentor on Cobra Island. She later joined Snake-Eyes on a mission to seek out Cobra Commander, who was hiding in a Red Ninja retreat in Tibet. Snake-Eyes had sent fellow ninja T'jbang into the retreat on an unauthorized mission there, and he needed to be rescued. This angered Hawk who put Scarlett in charge of the mission in lieu of Snake-Eyes after making it clear he was not happy. On that mission, Snake-Eyes defeated the leader of the ninjas who then pledged their loyalty to him. This turn of events upset Hawk even further. Scarlett came to her fiancee's defense, but Hawk placed them both on probation for their next mission fighting Cobra troops in Badhikstan. Before they could reconcile with their commander, Hawk was shot by Cobra Commander and was left paralyzed in a hospital bed. In Hawk's absense the Jugglers took the opportunity to take control. Snake-Eyes and several other Joes were arrested, while the Jugglers cut down the team's roster to about a dozen members. They also placed General Philip Rey in command of the team. After Duke's subsequent arrest, he and Snake-Eyes were rescued by Scarlett and Storm Shadow, who revealed he had finally broken free of Cobra's mind control and asked for Snake-Eyes' help. Scarlett advised them both that they should try once more to reconcile, but if they couldn't, they should end their relationship once and for all.

Rey, Duke and the remaining Joes fought Cobra Commander's plans to unleash the deadly superweapon known as the Tempest. At the same time, the Joes faced a new threat in the group called the Red Shadows, who had begun targeting and murdering Joe and Cobra agents. The Red Shadows also sparked violence and instability around the globe, hoping to take control of the world. When the Red Shadows attempted to kill Hawk, Scarlett helped rescue him as she and Snake-Eyes returned to the team to help in their plans to defeat both Cobra and the Red Shadows. The battle with the new organization became shockingly personal when while attempting to save her husband Flint from a Red Shadows agent, Lady Jaye was killed. Scarlett was the first Joe to come upon the terrible scene. In the end, Duke, Hawk and Rey's small team defeated the schemes of the Red Shadows and Cobra. Shortly after these threats were neutralized, the G.I. Joe team was again disbanded by the military.

One year later, the Joe team was reformed with a smaller roster of active members, including Scarlett, Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow, under the command of Joe Colton. When two orbiting satellites crashed to the Earth in Chicago and Silicon Valley, killing thousands, the new Joe team mobilized to discover who was causing the crashes. Colton allowed some members of the team to investigate independently, though some assumed the disaster was the work of Cobra. Scarlett headed to Massachusetts to track down former Cobra agent Cesspool. She snuck into his home late at night to discover him in bed, dying from cancer thanks to the toxins he had been exposed to years earlier. His wife then appeared and a fight ensued between her and Scarlett. The Joe won the fight, and was met by whom she thought were the Cesspool's children, but were in fact disguised robots who captured Scarlett. She was soon brought to Destro and held onboard his submarine headquarters. Destro's son, Alexander, thought having Scarlett there was dangerous and tried to free her. Destro discovered this and argued while Scarlett pretended to remain unconscious. She eventually escaped, just as the Joe team arrived. Using Scarlett's microscopic tracking device -- she and Snake-Eyes had them implanted to keep track of one another in an emergency -- they had found her location and went on an unauthorized rescue mission. During the mission, to stop the sub from flooding and killing the others, Snake-Eyes locked its blast doors from the inside as Storm Shadow watched in dismay. When the Joes were able to get inside they found Snake-Eyes' lifeless body. By all indications Snake-Eyes was truly dead. As a devastated Scarlett grieved, the body was somehow stolen. Scarlett's grief turned to anger as the Joes attempted to track down his body. They were all shocked to discover that the Red Ninjas, led by Sei Tin had not only stolen his body, but they had miraculously revived him. But Snake-Eyes had been brainwashed by the ninjas to be used as a weapon. Scarlett and other Joes were captured by the ninjas and Scarlett pleaded with Snake-Eyes to try and break free of the mind control. Eventually, Storm Shadow fought his old friend, and was being beaten until he threatened Scarlett's life, hoping to bring his friend's mind back to the surface. He eventually succeeded, and the Joes freed the Red Ninjas from their new leader's influence.

When Snake-Eyes returned to the team, he revealed to Scarlett that the Baroness was being held prisoner there according to Storm Shadow, and while Colton knew she was there, he kept it from the rest of the team. After Stalker was informed, the three Joes confronted Colton, very wary of all the past betrayals from high-ranking officers. Colton told them he had his orders to keep the incarceration quiet, and they had no right to know. They were interrupted by a sudden power outage. A military commando team named the Phoenix Guard lead by General Rey had arrived with orders to take control of The Rock. A battle followed and Scarlett, Colton and others hid from the attackers, hoping to get out a call for help. Rey was under orders from the president's chief of staff, Garret Freedlowe, but it soon became evident that unbeknownst to Rey, his team was made up of disguised Cobra agents. When Colton finally contacted the president, he learned that Freedlowe had been replaced some time ago by Cobra Commander. The Joes defeated the infiltrators, but not before they had killed many members of the base's support staff and the Baroness escaped. Just after that incident, a small team of Joes including Scarlett was rushed to shut down Cobra's illegal oil-drilling operation in the arctic. After that mission, the Joe team took some time off to regroup and recover from the assault on The Rock. Scarlett and Snake-Eyes went on leave separately; her to visit her family in Atlanta and Snake-Eyes to his mountain retreat.

Toy notes: Featured in the Ninja Force commercial. The first female figure released since Jinx in 1987. Scarlett's right leg is spring-loaded for a kicking maneuver; she is not jointed at the waist. The resulting mold makes Scarlett look overly large-hipped.

Toy notes: Included in a 3-pack with a reprint of the Marvel comic, as well as Alvin "Breaker" Kibbey and Cobra Commander. Versions before 2002 and in 2004 and 2008 were simply named "Scarlett." This version's feet have been redesigned to admit peg holes designed to fit the skis she uses in the comic.

Original Versions
Outback had basically two versions: the original one from 1987, and the Battle Corps one from 1993. The 1987 figure was available also in the subsets Night Force (1988 in two-pack with Crazylegs) and Tiger Force (1990 only in Europe), and in Brazil in 1993 with the codename "Forasteiro". The 1987 version of Outback share parts of his body with Big Brawler, a 2001 Gijoe character, and also the torso with Super Trooper and Rapid Fire. The Battle Corps Outback from 1993 was first designed for the Eco Warriors subset, but, when the line was cancelled, he become one of the Battle Corps. Then, some of the body colours were changed for a second version, available the same year.

Scarlett is one of the Gijoes with more international releases, and, also, she had many variants around the world! Some of them are considerated new Gijoes, and not international versions of Scarlett: Glenda from Argentina and Quarrel from Uk/Europe. I know she was released in United Kingdom, but, i dont know yet if her Action Force figure was released also in the rest of the Europe like her "blonde" sister Quarrel. In Italy, Scarlett was never released in any version. in Brazil, Scarlett had a different name: Athena, but the mold and the profile was the same. But, there was a little differences about the colors: Athena had grey/white parts instead of grey/tan parts.

Hasbro Canada released the first version of Scarlett with a filecard reflecting some local colors (Like many of the earlier filecards in Canada). Based on the Canadian Filecard, Shana O'Hara is born in Grande Prairie, Alberta. The figure itself is the exact same as the american version.

Quriken is a Mexican toy company who started to produce GIJoe figures in 1985 under the logo Commandos Heroicos. The packaging was their trademark, instead of being packed on blister card, the figures were sold in boxes with window through which you could see the figure. It's interesting to note that even if the Mexican Scarlett was actually Scarlett (sold as Oficial De Inteligencia, Nombre Clave: Scarlett), Quriken used the molds from the Brazilian company Estrela, so small differences seen in Brazilian figures could also be found on mexican figures, and it's the case here as the suit of Scarlett is more of a whitish tone than tan (Athena, the Brazilian look-alike of Scarlett, had a whiter suit than the tan american Scarlett).

Estrela, a toy company from Brazil, was the first company to obtain the GIJoe molds and use them to create their own figures. Athena was one of them. Based on the Scarlett mold, this figure used only a slightly more white plastic instead of the tan version of the American Scarlett. There's an ESTRELA marking on the back of the figure. Estrela did very well and exported their toys to other parts of South America and by the late 80s, they even used their production factories to create figures for release in the USA.

Hasbro licensed the rights of GIJoe to a local toy company in Argentina: Plastirama. The argentinian version of Scarlett looks like it's the same as the american version, but lacks any date stamp anywhere on the figure. Plastirama released also Glenda, a new character with the original mold of Scarlett. Glenda is a very popular character for the Gijoe fans, and she's probably the best international variant of a Gijoe character.

Many belive that Quarrel is the UK Scarlett, let's get one thing straight: Quarrel is not Scarlett. The UK had their own Scarlett when in 1985 the Action Force range (which started in 1982 and were made by Palitoy) realigned with a new unified team called simply 'Action Force' and a new enemy 'Cobra' instead of the 'red shadows'. The new figures were all of American origin, including 'Scarlett' (She wasn't called Quarrel, it was Scarlett), although some UK vehicles did survive into this range. 'Cobra' was the enemy of the US GI Joe serie, and this marked the beginning of a convergence of the two series. So Palitoy (A big UK toy company) is behind Quarrel and the toyline Action Force. Quarrel was part of the Action Force team, Z Force group (Ground combat). Quarrel was released in the UK in 1984, during the 2nd release of Action Force. Since second release of action force, the Action Force Team concept was introduced (which consisted of 4 groups: Z Force, SAS Force, Q Force and Space Force) and an enemy was introduced in the form of red shadows. Most of those figures used the same component from the original action force line, but others were licensed from the US Toy Company Hasbro where they were made as GIJoe. So Quarrel body mold\story was licensed from Hasbro based on Scarlett. Later on, in 1992, The same figure as Quarrel was offered in the USA at the Joe Collector con under the name Undercover Scarlett (later on, Palisades will offer an exclusive limited -250 worldwide- bust of Scarlett under this paint scheme and it will be called "Undercover Scarlett"). Quarrel was packaged exclusively with the Rapid Fire Motorcycle and was the only female action force figure.
 

Hasbro did a late release in Japan. They released 24 figures in 1986, packaging them in attractive colors cardbacks, packing the Joes on blue theme cardbacks and the Cobra on red theme cardbacks. Scarlett is the exact same version as the american one, except that she comes on a blue japanese cardback.

In Australia and New Zealand, during the 80s, GIJoe figures were repackaged by an Australian toy company (Toltoys) and sold as Action Man action figures. The figure is the exact same as the american version, but packaging is different.

1987 Equipment [all new]
Outback had a very nice and unique equipment! His gun was a kind of modified HK 53 A3 or an HK 308 (but im not sure of it).

Outback have also a tan web belt of the same color of the huge survival backpack, this gave to him a very "ready for action and survive" appeal :P Also, there is a very rare detail about his figure: he had a hole in the left leg, this hole was used to hold a flashlight accessory. All those accessories transform Outback to a very well equipped soldier, also if his basic figure is very clean and simple. The same accessories were used for the Night Force & Tiger Force versions, but with different colors (except for the gun).

It's interesting that the flashlight after the original version of Outback, was better paint with the lens of different color from the rest.

Others Equipment
1992 For the Gijoe Convention, the original Outback was bagged with the first flashlight and a different weapon: the kayak-gun of 1989 Stalker.
1993 Outback had, as all the Battle Corps figures, a mix of old weapons and a firing missile launcher.
1993 In the brazilian version, Outback have a sonic fighter backpack and also a mix of weapons.

Price Guide
Outback is not easy to find "perfect". My personal figure also have a broken gun, and the "survival" logo was faded. So, if you looking for a perfect Outback, be sure to have: the flashlight for the leg, the hole in the leg with no broken parts of old flashlights (:P), the "survival logo" not faded, the gun in good condition (the strap must be unbent and attached), and the same must be for the web belt, sometimes could be broken. As you can read, Outback is a nice character, but not easy to find in good mint condition.
Here is a price guide for the various versions of Outback
You can find Outback 1987 at 12-16$ (loose) or 40-60$ (Moc)
You can find Outback Night Force at 40-48$ (loose) or 140-180$ (Moc)
You can find Outback Battle Corps 02-04$ (loose) or 06-10$ (Moc)

+Scarlett Codename Analysis+

Scarlett had different names around the World

Rest of the World Scarlett
Brazil Athena

Similar to Scarlett (taken from original mold)

  UK & Europe Quarrel
Argentina Glenda

The codename "Scarlett" is clearly inspired to Scarlett "Gone with the Wind" O'Hara, especially because Gijoe Scarlett is named "Shana O'Hara". And also, Scarlett was born in Atlanta, where there is the main scene of the movie! So, there is no doubt about this ^^ There is probably also a link with the "scalret red" color (this could be explain in part the choice to make of Scarlett a "red hair" girl).

Scarlett had many versions around the world: some of them are considerated new Gijoes, and not international versions of Scarlett.
(to know more, read up the page)

Scarlett is a qualified expert with these weapons:

	XK-1 Power Crossbow Small size crossbow with a length of 12.5 inches, its draw weight is of 50 to 80 lbs. Scarlett is an all around crossbow specialist and is known to be as efficient with some of the bigger models like the XK-150, a 30.8 inches crossbow with a draw weight of 150 lbs.
	Throwing Stars The Shuriken (Throwing star) is the trade mark ninja weapon made famous by the movies and stories about the ninja. The Shuriken is simply a flat piece of metal with sharpened points that were thrown at the enemy. The Shuriken was not originally designed as a killing weapon. It was mostly used to distract or deter so the ninja could escape.
	Garotte Nicknamed cheese cutter, this simple strangulation weapon consist of a very fine wire attached to steel handles. It's used by special force units for killing silently.
	Ka-Bar Ka-Bars are the legendary US marine fighting knife. The model shown here is Model 1211 that has a black Kraton handle with black powder coated metal guard and butt. It comes with a black Kydex Sheath. A sheath material for the new century, Kydex is well known for its resistance to impact, corrosion, and abrasion, its all-weather performance, and its imperviousness to most chemicals, petroleum-based products, and moisture, including salt water.
	M-14 This weapon replaced the Garand as the mainstay of U.S. forces before the adoption of the M16.
	M-16 The M16 is now considered the standard against which all others are measured. The prototype for this rifle came from the Armalite AR-10, which was chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO and designed by Eugene Stoner. The AR-10 went into production in 1955 and was a very advanced firearm using plastic and aluminum wherever possible in order to reduce weight; but it proved to be too light of a rifle for the powerful 7.62x51mm (.308 Winchester) bullet and production ceased in 1962.
	M-1911A1 This .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol, M1911A1, is a recoil-operated hand weapon. It is a magazine-fed semiautomatic weapon, which fires one round each time the trigger is squeezed, once the hammer is cocked by prior action of the slide or thumb. This design is referred to as "single action only." The thumb safety may only be activated once the pistol is cocked. The hammer remains in the fully cocked position once the safety is activated. (Note: More modern pistol designs of the "double action" type will allow the hammer to move forward to an uncocked position when the thumb safety is activated.)
	M-79 The M-79 grenade launcher was first fielded in Vietnam in an attempt to allow an infantry unit to provide fire support between 50-300m, the higher end of hand grenades, and the lower end of mortar fire. The grenade is spin stabilized, and will automatically arm itself based upon the rotations it has done in flight after 30m. The grenade, though less powerful than a standard fragmentation grenade, has a lethal radius of 5m.
	M-3A1 The M3 sub-machinegun, also known as Grease gun, was developed as a cheaper war-time alternative to famous Thompson M1A1 and M1928 sub-machineguns. M3 and M3A1 were developed and manufactured by General Motors Corp. M3 was introduced in 1942, and simplified M3A1 was introduced in 1944, and remained in service in the USA until 1960 or so, and also was exported outside the USA.
	M-700 (Remington Sniper Rifle) This "Entry Level" sniper rifle is quite capable of shooting .5 MOA right out of the box (.75 MOA is more common). This rifle has all the right features for the right price. It uses a HS Precision stock with palm swells and an aluminum bedding block. The actual action and barrel are the same that are used on Remingtons varmint rifles, with the difference mainly in the stock.
	Mac-10 (Ingram) An even faster firing weapon than the famed Uzi, the Mac-10 is nothing short of a fully automatic uncontrollable beast. 1400 rounds per minute’s works out to over 23 rounds fired per second. Depressing the trigger for a second will almost insure an empty clip in no time. However aftermarket accessories like a silencer or muzzle brake will alleviate the manageability of this firearm by some margin.
