Were it not for the alternate construction style of the Ninja Force figures, they'd be among the greatest figures of the 1990's. But, they were given spring action gimmicks that eliminated the o-ring and back screw construction that defined the line. So, instead of the only updated figure for the Scarlett character being a late line icon, it is left to the scrap heap of Joe history. It's a testament to what could have been.
It's too bad the Pulse line sputtered out before it could get to fun stuff like this Scarlett. Frankly, a new take on her in this color scheme with standard construction could be a really nice figure. Super7 is about our only hope for that to happen. But, they have not shown any inclination to look to the comic book for obscure designs that can't be repained ad naseum. And, they have avoided 1990's paint jobs and characters like the plague. So, it will probably be quite a while before a figure like this Scarlett could even be considered for another design.
Until then, enjoy what's out there that features the original, but limited 1993 figure:
