Prime 1 Studio Scarlet statue

[House]

As promised, finally got to open this up and took pictures! The styrofoam was a real tight fit in the artbox. If i ever put it back in the box will be a real pain removing the empty foam. They really did a excellent job on her. The base is similar to Snake Eye's base, with a glittering snow effect with tree stump sticking out. The snow effect is fantastic! Her EX headsculpt i think i like better. The ponytails on each head is removable, each one takes identical tails. Kinda wish they had made one different. There is a lot of attention to detail on this. Her armor all the different textures straps, etc is done really well. There is a switchout holster, if you decide to display her with 2 pistols. They included a 2020 poster for Prime1 products.

Enjoy the pictures! More pictures here:

Looks great. I think I like the first head sculpt better (it is softer).

Looks pretty damn good.

Prime 1 didn’t disappoint. Congrats… Love your display, looks really good.

What source material did the red star on her shoulder pad come from? Unfortunate design choice.

Only if you decide to attach political meanings to random shapes and colours.

Once you buy the statue it can be, and mean what you want.

I am only asking what source material the red star is based on. Answer: none, they just arbitrarily put it there because it looked cool. Perhaps the Brazilian sculptor and art director (had to check Artstation) have certain sympathies to some peculiar things. The shape is not flat, either, so that's even more damning. Hasbro approved it, so whatever. Most people these days don't care either, because they're blissfully ignorant.

Scarlett is only seen with a flat white star in a few comics. No star in the toys, cartoons, and most comics.

Yep, no where i remember, or can find in pictures for the time i care to waste on it i can find pictures of her i with a red star. The stars are all white, Transformers vs Gi Joe IDW #2 closest example.(Picture below) If the star is just the issue the shoulder pad should be noticed, and color scheme of it is off as well. But im not going to nitpick on this. Considering it is one of the few 1/4 scale Gi Joe Scarlett pieces around. From the start when it was put up, i have been happy with it. Even more so now, that i have it in person. I am blissfully ignorant.

Blissfully ignorant of what (maybe due to forum rules, don't answer that).....but my point is, why can't a red star be just a red star?

Someone not getting excited about it doesn't mean they're "blissfully ignorant", maybe they just don't want to politicize their statues that way.

Just bear in mind as well, for some people, seeing a British or US Flag on the statue may be just as disconcerting......

The best part is, when it comes, just paint it white....or whatever colour floats your boat. Should be an easy mod to make.

She has red shoulder pads sometimes, but not stars. Maybe they wanted to match her hair. Super easy thing to repaint at least. I'm surprised no one caught that when she was first shown.
