Discovering the BBK 1/6 Scale Scarlett: A Collector’s Journey with GI Joe’s Iconic Heroine

Welcome to the Outpost. As most of you may know my first GI Joes were the 12 inch Joes. I have enjoyed being able to hunt down many of the ARAH style Joes and one that has always left a void is Scarlett . I even made a crude but likable custom Scarlett.

There was also that kinda cool Eaglehawk that was straight up re-birthed and renamed Tomahawk. I had the Tomahawk when I was a kid so I did not hesitate…

First off a “helicopter assault trooper” sounds more in line with air assault versus airborne. Air assault is more or less infantry troops being deployed by helicopter and infiltrating to the combat zone via either the copter landing or by fast roping (or rappelling depending on what era you are…
