G.I. JOE FILE CARDS SERIES
Scarlett is part of the first series of G.I. They reused her in 1997 to make the next version of the figure. By contrast, the Baroness was a completely original sculpt. Many “Joes” and other commandos were repurposed molds or pieces from past versions, usually painted differently to set them apart. Joe figures reused parts from other toys due to how similar they were. There was also a red variant called Rednok, which can also sell for a few hundred bucks in its own right.īaroness sells in-box to collectors for $450. India then picked up the mold and created a version made of low-quality plastic. After the original toy faded out, Takara released it in Japan in ’86. Her head swiveled left and right but not up and down (the “swivel ball” wouldn’t be introduced until 1985). However, she was discontinued in 1986, which has driven up her value.

Since Tomahawk was only sold for two years between 19, lingering in European markets for maybe another year or so, it’s increasingly difficult to get your hands on. That makes the figure even more collectible, however. The G.I Joe Tomahawk defined 1980s awesomeness despite having a bit of a short existence.
