Cover Girl: The ULTIMATE Makeover - (G.I. JOE Classified Figure Custom)
Easily THE WORST figure from the Classified line... But I refuse to be defeated! So lets see if she's truly a lost cause.
NOTE:
Just a note for what I said at the end regarding enamels; the chipping issue is really only apparent on the jacket and maybe the joints on the legs. So far I've had no issues with the wrench, boots, or shirt - but further sodding about with painting action figures is required before I can draw a proper conclusion.

    I'm wondering why she's a redhead in the info card and blonde in the cartoon and also looks like a Grown-up Squirrel Girl on the box cover. I think her OG head looks like Natalie Portman so our tastes vary.

    • @CollectorsCritical

      @@Citrakite The file card is for the Original 3¾" O-ring figure from the 1980s where she was a short haired redhead. In the M.A.S.S. Device story arc of the Sunbow animated series she had long blonde hair, but was then changed to short red hair in all 80s cartoon appearances after that (probably to match the toy and help sell more). Apparently she was also blonde in some comics. I just personally prefer the look of long blonde Cover Girl over short redhead since it's a better contrast to the darker hair of Scarlett and Lady Jaye - so that's what we went with.

A standard 6" figure here in Canada costs $32-$38 on average at all other stores - but at Toys R Us they charge $55-$65. The 3 pack is no different, it should have been closer to $85-$90 with the exchange rate when they first came in.

    As someone who's custom-painted a few Nerf blasters, the best way to get paint to stick to plastic is as simple as washing it thoroughly in soapy water. Plastic toys still have mold release agent residue, sweat and other oils that will get between the plastic and the paint. If there are super smooth surfaces, a light sanding with an old, used scotch pad before you wash will help too. Leave it in a warm space overnight to dry, or dry it with paper towels or a lint-free cloth, but be careful not to handle it too much and get more sweat on it. gloves ftw

    I know we all loved the AVGN and nostalgia critic back in the day, but their style of over the top hyperbolic negativity has very much passed its best before date. It comes off really forced making this wild comparison about a figures face which is bland and somewhat unappealing at worst. Like sure, it's not a great face sculpt, but it's no sewer mutant, and it's not scaring children. If you met this person in real life, they'd be out of your league, so it all falls kinda flat. I'd much rather you find your own voice for these videos, rather than aping the style of the old school negativity critics that everyone has rightfully moved on from. Like, I'm interested in the customization, but the cartoonish level of ragging on the head sculpt legitimately makes me want to just not bother.
