Lady Jaye (Sunbow version) is my favorite of the Joe ladies, though I'd say Scarlett would objectively be #1 in importance and character development (certainly based on the comic). Something about Lady Jaye though...that husky voice, the attitude, the rough n' tumble look. When I think of what a female GI Joe would look like and act like, I think of Lady Jaye.

Great video! You managed to deep dive into the comics and find some really obscure characters! There were 2 other obscure characters, from the toy line, that didn’t get mentioned. Canary Ann was a Lady Jaye repaint, in yellow and red, and was a Funskool Joe exclusive. Also, Atena was another S. American repaint of Scarlett. She had a white leotard, instead of the tan one, that Scarlett wore. Atena was part of the Comandos Em Acao line.

I'm actually quite surprised we didn't get a Canary Ann repaint in classified. But then I guess they over produced two relatively same looking version of Jaye which probably led to lower sells and less interest in the mold.

We need a female explosive expert named Bouncing Betty!! Lol

Even from the very beginning of the Sunbow era, Scarlett was portrayed as tough and highly capable-in the very first scene of the first episode of ARAH, we found out the hot-shot pilot of the Skystriker is Scarlett.

I can't argue with Scarlett as #1. She deserves to be listed as the main female character in G.I. Joe. However, my personal favorite was Lady Jaye (specifically from the cartoon). I just found her so attractive and sexy. She was a lady, but also a tomboy and her voice was perfect for the character. I also liked Jinx. She was probably the last figure I bought from the original 3 and 3/4 line. I remember really liking the card graphic and figure. Didn't know much about her as I was starting to move away from G.I. Joe into other interest at that time. Thanks for the video.

Quarrel has a great color scheme look.

Big fan of the Shooter figure in classified but hard to place her much higher w/o the lore. Lady Jaye, Covergirl & Jinx are all kind of interchangeable to me so I wouldn’t quibble with anyone on how they are listed so long as they all are right there together. I MIGHT have bumped LJ to the top of that group just based on her fight with Zarana in the comics, though I generally prefer the Sunbow version due to her voice there. Anyway, great list and looking forward to the Cobra version too.

It's funny, I think I may be one of the only ones (from the USA anyway) that was excited to see Classified Glenda. I got the pilot Scarlett figure in the 25th line thinking the blue, white and silver paint was a really cool variant not realizing it was a reference to Glenda (a figure I had never heard of). When they came out with the Shooter Classified figure, I thought it was a gender swap for Fumbles/Trouser Snake from the Robot Chicken episode. As for Helix, I got the Rise of Cobra figure thinking it was maybe some concept art they made for a movie Scarlett but didn't use it so they made a new character from it. Needless to say I was excited to see the Classified Helix. And I'm with you on Jinx though - I don't preorder many of the Classified figures but I made sure to preorder her. As for my top favorite, Scarlett was one of my first crushes as a kid - please note Cheetara was as well so maybe it's more about the one piece leotard? Now as an adult though, Lady Jay's voice from the original cartoon is something else LOL. Love the list, can't wait for the Cobra one.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing more characters from other Joe franchises. I understand they probably wouldn't sell well but i think it's fun to celebrate the history of the brand. i wouldn't be surprised if we got freestyle as a lazy repaint/mold of shooter once the haslab comes out.

I always thought there was a female Joe codename "Dallas". Because in the episode "Lasers In The Night" the Baroness undercover as Lady Jay called one of the females she interacted with "Dallas", but I guess that was just a regular soldier. And by the way my #1 is Lady Jaye.

Good vid. I agree with most, but I would’ve ranked Dial-Tone a bit higher. She was a good supporting character throughout the IDW era. Not too fancy, just a good team player.

Fantastic list. Scarlett is my number 1 but i feel like Lady Jaye could be number 1 and Scarlett 2 in general.

You are right that a lot of females like this stuff, because I Am one, and I have loved this stuff since the 80s

I made the female Dial-Tone into Dial-Tone's younger sister and renamed her Ring Tone

well... honestly..my top five would be 1. Scarlet of course. 2. Lady Jaye, 3. Jinx 4. Covergirl because of what Devil's Due Comics did with her. I loved her with Shipwreck in that series. I even loved her team-ups with Shipwreck in the cartoon.5. Now Helix (cause yes I love the character.) Some will say Oh no she is woke.) pffft no she isn't. Stop that.) But I like her. I don't see the issue with her. She is completely original. He has an amazing look. I do enjoy it when she shows up in comics. I did read her solo story with the child trafficker. And she was just badass. I get why some would have her as number two. But I can't put her above Jaye, Covergirl, or Jinx. There is just too much love and history there. As far as Scarlet goes...I could do a whole video on her if I wanted. There are so many things I love about her. Too many to say. I will say this. Staying with someone you love even when his face is disfigured says a lot about her character. but that's just one of many many things. Actually she is in my top ten favorite Joes of all time as well.

Cool video. I had no idea there were so many female Joe characters, but I stopped following around 90’. I didn’t know woke swapping was a thing for GI Joe. Hasbro’s Joes were the leaders as far as I’m concerned in developing female characters, not to mention diverse characters overall. Totally agree - just put 10 minutes of effort creating new woke characters instead destroying old ones. I loved Dialtone. I had three. He was my troop builder when he wasn’t just Dialtone. Back to the lineup of top characters, Covergirl sucked as an actual toy - the sculpt just did not match the file card. Or she was a covergirl for Butch Magazine. My top four would be Scarlet (mentally the strongest of the original Joes, plus the coolest assortment of weapons on the figure), Jinx, Lady Jay, Cover Girl. Agent Helix seems like a great story. And granny ninja with the brick hand back is such an awesome concept, absolutely worthy of an action figure.
