Ranking Every Female GI Joe!

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

So which ones from this list should they make as a GI Joe Classified?

[@Darkhawk-23]

@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal, Great vid! I have my top 5 as Scarlett, Lady-Jaye, Helix, Jinx, Cover-Girl. As far as who should be made... I say Pythona! I know, I know, she's Cobra... but I can't wait for Classifieds Pythona. But, I'd say BombStrike aka Bombshell for the Joe's.

[@paisano777]

I'm just starting the video, but all of them

[@RedHood12345]

1. Scarlett 2. Agent Helix 3. Lady Jaye 4. Cover Girl 5. Jinx. Love your videos keep them up. Yo Joe!!!

[@dinomonzon7493]

Scarlett, Agent Helix, and G. I. Jane.

[@coreybell2223]

Of the ones not yet done in Classified: Bombstrike, Daina and Sherlock. Sparta is an obvious one coming.

[@michaeljfoley1]

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.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Oh yeah, the husky voice was hot.

[@rach4carlos]

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.

[@Lazrael32]

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. (she is my personal favorite female joe. her and Marissa Fairborne (jaye and flints canonical daughter in transformers))

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Damn, that's some good knowledge.

[@rach4carlos]

@@Lazrael32 I wouldn’t mind seeing a Canary Ann in Classified, but you’re right. It’ll probably be awhile, before Hasbro would want to reuse that mold.

[@SwiftpawWolffox]

That could be part of it too. While the two franchises have often used the same names they rarely showed up at the same times.

[@parlowderick]

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.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

yeah, I feel like my top four are kinda neck-and-neck, with Scarlett at the top. But I love Jinx, Helix & Lady Jaye. They were ass-kicking women before ass-kicking women became a mocie cliche

I agree with your rankings for the most part but I was fond of Dialtone II from watching Resolute and from finding that she was not a replacement for Jack Morelli but his younger sister. That said, a new codename would have helped her. 'Hotline' for example

[@batbrick3949]

Agreed, Dial-Tone was pretty cool. “Hotline” might’ve been a good code😮

After looking at various names, I thought "Ringback" could work. (It's an old Telecom tern.)

[@benjaminyoon4253]

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.

[@kevinyoung9557]

Awesome video. Gotta say Helix is a rocking character. Top 5 for sure.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yes. love Helix. I really think she could take off

[@dennisrounds1996]

Although I would concur that “Agent” Helix has an incredible look and code name…I don’t feel she belongs in the Joe’ Verse; at least not as a regular. Her abilities stray too far into the super-hero/ super soldier realm and she is essentially Batgirl/ Black Bat/Orphan - Cassandra Cain.

[@lynngreen7978]

Maybe Stanley was a surname, like O'Hara or Kreiger?

[@brandonr8269]

Hey man, digging your channel as always. I just noticed something (I can't be the first, but still, it's worth note). The Classified 60th Anniversary Marine Sniper figure: the alternate (white) head is Scarlett! On Scarlett's ARAH file card, of course it lists Marine Sniper School amongst her achievements. Now look at the file card picture and compare to the head on that 60th Classified figure.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Thanks! Interesting

[@GumbosGhost]

I like Dialtone she is the sister of the orignal, I prefer bombshell too, she is the sister of Barrelroll and Blackout, I thought was another character name Mayday too, during devil due era

[@chrisleitzel2659]

There was. Sgt. Paige Adams, codename: Mayday, who was introduced in the Devil's Due comic run. I wish Hasbro gave her a figure during the Joe vs Cobra toyline because she was theonly Greenshirt I liked..

[@juniorcecrle5072]

Glad you’re back brother. Been Jonesing for a list. Great video. LOVE where you put Agent Helix. I’m completely fascinated with her. Just an amazing job they did building that character. 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.

14:08 Sherlock's lore seems to "run parallel" to Marvel Comics character Misty Knight : police officer\detective, artificial arm. Do you think maybe this is another case of a character in another work inspiring a Joes creation i.e. Magnum P.I. inspires Chuckles.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yes, almost done with it

[@talondarkfire]

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.

Honestly this is a nice list, i did find it helpful to know about who's who in the series, what is their relevance and so on, especially since I'm still a newbie in knowing this series and the classified line is what got me to love it more, even literally taking the "knowing is half the battle" seriously but awesome at the same time 😂. Some lf these characters i had no idea that these may be as awesome than i expected such as Helix or G.I. Jane, meanwhile there are some others that i did recognize in some sense like Lady Jaye and Cover girl, funny enough i was expecting Lady Jaye to be number one since most of the people i come across actually love her a lot more than Scarlett 😂 but for me that would be Scarlett, aside from liking redheads, i like her character, her relationship with Snake-Eyes and overall she is iconic. I don't necessarily have a top 5 to mention, but i can say that my second favorite is one who i didn't know at first until i studied her character thanks to the internet, being Jodie "Shooter" Craig and honestly it still pains me to know she didn't last long for the entirety of her existence, she seemed like the kind of character I'd be into so badly (even it's sad that i never got the figure unfortunately), but luckily there is always the magic of imagination where she survived and she'd be part of my own Joe team/story.

Scarlett definitely deserves the #1 slot on this list! Larry Hama presented her as capable yet still very feminine. After Scarlett, my fave female Joes are- Jinx, Agent Helix (the closest Hasbro came to having a female Joe as Scarlett's equal in terms of ability), and G. I. Jane, who doesn't lack for looks (lets see if Lady J can get away with sporting a short skirt (G. I. Joe #127)) and smarts. Never cared much for Lady Jaye; she's arrogant, bossy, egotistical and vain, not caring to respect her betters as seen in G. I. Joe #s 32, 34 (last page, last panel), and DDP's G. I. Joe #42 (Philip Rey is a 3 star General; she's just a Corporal). Plus, she's a tomboy and a plainjane.

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.

It's actually a shame they didn't do more with Cover Girl because the concept of her character was a great twist on things. A good looking professional model that found out how shallow the profession really is and joined the military. But unlike the usual 'celeb joins the army' trope she digs in and rocks it to actually improve herself and do good for the world. And despite the profession they didn't make her another disguise person. She takes up one of the dirtiest physical jobs as a vehicle mechanic and excels. And drive them, and we can agree that skilled tank girl is both really hot and really badass.

Okay, I get the gender swap hostility in regards to the media perspective but as an 80s kid I was a toy guy not a cartoon kid and especially not a comic book kid. As long as the scale's were compatible all our toys played together. GI Joes flew X-wings and Storm Shadow had adamantium swords that were lightsaber-proof to fight Darth Vader. I would be happy if any of these characters got action figures because that expand my playverse by one more character. I seem to remember you having a kid. Wouldn't you want to expand his playverse with any one of these characters? Love the channel by the way. The ninja ranking video was fantastic and again I would love figures of any of ninja for the same reasons.

Hey, I'm down with a buff Samoan lady action figure, just call her something else. I definitely don't want Hashtag though. I dont think she would be any fun to play with. But yeah, I like that perspective. Of this list, I most want a Stiletto figure, a Daina/Verona, and a Demon Granny.

[@josiahalcorne]

@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal Yeah, that top three most wanted figure list is pretty hard to argue. In your personal action figure collection playverse you can name the figures anything you want though. I guess I can see the reason Hashtag is such a horrible name, at first glance when I looked at your comment I thought you were taking a dig at "social justice warriors" and "hashtag activism" I forgot there was a character on the list named Hashtag. I'm pretty sure she'd get another speciality in my playverse. Even if "Social Media Influencer" was a role someone in my toy box needed to fulfill, it probably wouldn't be one of the military looking figures.

What's wrong with Ice Cream Soldier? Other than his codename he was awesome

[@SpeedandSplendor]

Lady Jaye should be #2, no question.

[@michaeljfoley1]

Lady Jaye is my personal #1, but yeah, being objective, I'd probably put Scarlett #1, and then Lady Jaye or maybe Jinx at #2.

Stanley was more of a red shirt than a green shirt.

[@anubhavgupta6780]

Why you did not mention Zarana character? she is also badass.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

She's a cobra/dreadnok. This video is all good guys. I am making a video for the bad girls too

[@RazorBurn-wl4qc]

I think they used the gungho body template for Natalie Poole

Not ever reading any material from the writer of Salvo's character has probably saved tons of sleepless nights.

[@sorenandersen6832]

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.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, I think there was a period in Devil's Due/ IDW where they decided to swap genders rather than come up with new characters. I highly recommend reading the Silent Option mini-series with Helix. It's one of the best stories ever in the GI Joe canon. (You can read it online btw, for free) readallcomics.com/category/g-i-joe-a-real-american-hero-silent-option/

Lady Jaye is my favorite Joe and Baroness my favorite Cobra. Never heard of Salvo until today. I think she's supposed to be Samoan, so she wouldn't be skinny.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, I'm good with a Samoan lady, and her being big and buff. I just don't like the gender swap. Justa. come up with a new character

[@20JK10]

@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal I agree with you on that.

[@CrimsonCobraCommander]

The best version of cover girl is the 4 in long hair red head but I actually like the classified version to

[@EyeOfTheWatcher]

I wish GI Joe would go more in detail with Lady Jaye and Destro being related.

[@jamesmeeks4852]

Snake Eyes's predecessor would be Jinx. Seeing, hearing and speaking from training in "the dark".

[@christiansmith9306]

Dawn Moreno has such a cool look!!!

[@jakeatarashigames]

Is Hashtag really a worse name than Dial Tone?

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

It is because it is a reference to social media influencers--technically, neither are as bad as Skidmark. But Hashtag is a worse character because her specialty is public relations

[@GregBet-x8g]

Could've of named her propaganda

[@dustindustindontworry-jz8dh]

Scarlett, Raven, Jinx, Leila and Shooter for my top 4. With Scarlett being my number 1 pick. I actually liked the look of MayDay's look from Gi Joe Extreme.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, I have Raven on my Cobra list, There is a hint that she joins GI Joe at the end, but I dont think we ever see it
