Hahaha yeah I’m used to that. There’s a fair amount of worthless old camera parts that go for thousands because they were used in Star Wars props.

It's great if you are a seller, or built your collection before prices went up like me, for sure! Prices are crazy because a lot of people are just sitting on their collections, causing a limited supply and speculators looking for profit. I have duplicates, but no more than 3-6 of certain figures, and as many as 10 in very few cases. Some people take it to the extreme and have like 100+ cobra soldiers or whatever (called army builders), or 100+ of the same figure, called focus collecting.

Jedigoat Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I've never tried looking up prices for anything Joe related. Haven't bought anything since I stopped buying original releases at retail. I still have all my Joe stuff except for the terror drome and the space shuttle. Most of it is in disarray because my kids played with them. Nothing broken though, except for the two mentioned above.

Tank Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 She was the birth of many a fetish I’m sure. Go to any comic convention and the hottest female cosplay you’ll see is Princess Leia in the slave outfit, Power Girl, Ayla Secura, and Baroness.

Darth Krawlie Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 POWER RANK JOE WOMEN GO 1. Baroness 2. Lady Jaye 3. Scarlett 4. Cover Girl 5. Jinx I know Cover Girl is supposed to be a literal supermodel but she's always been pretty irrelevant. That fact is the only reason she tops Jinx on the list.

Tank Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Scarlett is for basic bros. Cover Girl got like one line ever in the cartoon. Lady Jaye came in and stole her thunder with that pixie cut. Jinx was so much better in the comics. But aside from Baroness I’d pick Zarana just because she looked punk rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 damn I knew I was forgetting someone; zarana was great in the comics too agreed, she's between baroness and lady jaye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Figures (1982-1989) 1. Baroness 2. Zarana (with earrings) 3. Zarana (no earrings 4. Lady Jaye 5. Jinx 6. Scarlet 7. Cover Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedigoat Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Scarlett hate, wtf? I'm not a redhead fan but I like her costume. Imagine the shit Snake Eyes gets for not asking her how her day was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Scarlet was the baseline so give her props seems lazy. Were there really only 7 female figures made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Half of the 82 figures were, frankly, pretty lame. Exchangeable parts, drab olive coloring. Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Stalker, and the three Cobra figures were the only ones that stood out, which is why they’re the only ones that survived. Characters like Short Fuze, Steeler, Flash, Grand Slam, etc had zero traction due to their generic-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were others, like Vypra and Chameleon, but they were literally repaints of Jinx and Baroness. There were also different versions of Scarlet released, and repaints of Baroness, Zarana, and Lady Jaye. But yeah, almost Smurf level of female representation! There may be more in more recent years, but my area of knowledge is 1982-1989 with some spotty knowledge up to 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
