Ranking Every Female GI Joe! 

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

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.

Love Love Love Scarlet, Cover Girl, jinx and Lady J - the Javelins doesn't make any sense BUT so satisfying. We ALL Bow to The Baroness.

I can't believe they did my boy Salvo like that.

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.

Scarletts relationship with Snake Eyes and Stalker made her even more bad ass.

I was PR in the USMC and 'I don't believe in guns' would have gotten me beaten into a pulp. If you don't believe in guns (more accurately, 'I don't believe in USING guns') try not joining the military.

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.

Awesome content as always!!! Ty for helping me forget about my hangover for a little bit😂

The only difference for me is I prefer the Scarlet and Duke romance from the cartoon.

Sherlock sounds exactly the same as Misty Knight - investigator, robot arm

12:15.. most likely didn't use the "Bomshell" name because the Transformers already use it for one of the insecticons

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

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 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

Marissa Fairborne is also in some continuities is the daughter of Flint and Lady Jaye

I never thought of it, until now, but the original toy of Cover Girl kinda looks like Lois, from Family Guy. lol

Quarrel has a great color scheme look.

#1. Tight Ship from Community

All the females are super cool but The Baroness and Jinx will always be tops for me 🎉

Honestly, if they had such hangups about Salvo design wise, maybe just don’t use the character at all at that point

I feel like Sherlock would be better if she just had a normal/realistic prosthetic arm

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.

My favorite women from the Joe team are Shooter, Stilleto, Lady Jaye, Freestyle, Bombstrike, & Cover Girl Other favorites are Lt. Daina, Sparta, & Quarrel

Did Lady Jaye wrong bro. For me, she's up there neck and neck with Scarlett. But really cool list otherwise.

"A character looked "Alt-Right", so we sex and race changed him to make him/her appease the Alt-Left"

Stanley was 100% named in tribute of marvel comics Stan Lee

Great show man, look forward to the next.

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.

Thanks for the list bro nice deep dive. Quick Kick has that GF but she did go on a mission and was pretty badass too.

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

Just ignore me going right to Amazon and buying the Lady Snakeeyes statue. LOL

Scarlet is bad ass so she’s always gna be my classic first but Doc’s niece is my personal favorite

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 only have 3 women of GI Joe so far. I have Lady Jaye, Agent Helix and Zarana. They are all good but I love Zarana and Helix. Those mantis blades Helix has are awesome

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

Lady Jaye from the original 1983-1986 G.I. Joe cartoon was always my favorite female G.I. Joe soldier.

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.

Lady Jaye should be #2, no question.

Love these videos

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.

12:06 - She was also probably given the name Bombstrike to not conflict with Bombshell in Transformers, one of the three Insecticons.

Sunbow's Lady Jay ftw! Agent Helix was a late edition with lazy writing for her skills IMHO. Good look, though!

I got introduced to Agent Helix in the final issues of the IDW comics continuity. I think shes a soild unique character. Shes has a epic final battle fighting next to Snake Eyes which is a interesting transition of eras.

Lady Jaye will always be #1❤

I enjoyed the list. Will there be a list for the Cobra ladies?

10:57 😂😂😂 Bro went there lol

Bombstrike leapt up several spaces on my list by merit of somehow surviving getting shot in the head in the Hama book.

I assumed Stanley was named for Henry Morton Stanley, the journalist who tracked down the vanished missionary David Livingstone, producing the famous greeting "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"

I think Lady Jaye is my number one as well, though Scarlett is impossible to deny. Also I like Cover Girl and Jinx. Had not have heard of those at the bottom. Some... Choices there.

Again great vid and again 70% of the characters i didn't know they existed... the gender swap is horrible!!!! they cant spend 5min to think of a new name and background for a character!?... Smoke Jumper, she's an elite sky diver trained by Ace... there that took me 2min, its not that hard!.... what happened to Gung Ho's hat? did you loose it?

Ladies do love their "Stanley" cups 😂

Dial-Tone wasnt supposed to be your basic gender swap. shes the sister of the OG who went missing during a Mission in Brazil and she took over his name. She joined mainly to look for her brother. And Doc, she is the niece of the OG that was KIA..I'm ok with these two. Salvo was just plain pandering

You say body positivity, I say big and fat

Honda Lou, entrepreneur!

sherlock is for when you want a misty knight.

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.

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

1 baroness 2 Lj 3 scarlet 4 cover girl (personal fav)

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

I took a look at Sherlock and she looked like a figure of Jeena Maslo from the original A.D. Police Files anime

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

A classified figure of BombStrike aka Bombshell would be cool. What is your opinion of the pictures of the upcoming Alpine Classified figure?

Now if only Honda Lou West could return in some capacity.

Another great video, I did not know that there so many female Joes.

I have all the Released Female Joe's so far in Figures. I even made a couple of Customs. Two half sisters Rush (Amanda the American) and Roulette (Anya the Ukrainian). They have different skill sets. Rush is like a female Rambo, street fighter etc. Roulette is more like a Bond, gambling, infiltration etc.

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

I actually preferred Lady Jaye, as my number #1

If I remember right I allways put dial tones back pack on somebody like grunt or short stop clutch cause clutch didn't get to drive the jeep a lot but ide put dial tone with like flint and any one else with a green baray like stalker

Waiting for a female designated "Tunnel Rat". No female "Seals":yet...or "Vipers" or "Crimson Guard". As long as they make it make sense.

In the comics Shipwreck and Cover Girl were a couple

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.

Top picks for Classified would Blackhat, Bombstrike, Pale Peony, Daina, and Stiletto.

You forgot Bottom Line. The female accountant.

The Baroness is the best.

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.

The cartoon made Lady j . They really fresh her out. And that why she so loved my the fans

Took a drink each time you said “badass” and I have to shains hilbsrf dhsiii. Slainte!

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

Have you considered reviewing some of the Forever Clever G.I. Joe construction sets? They’re … not great, but it seems like that line could benefit from some constructive feedback.

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.

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.

Dawn Moreno has such a cool look!!!

Bomb Strike figure came out during the doc series the one I remember. Bomb Strike, Silo, Capt Gridiron they need to put in classified also gotta to admit I I like red heads the the more the better Mayday and Sparta yes please in classified. And I thought dial tone female version was the daughter of the original dial tone

A PR expert for a secret unit? Who share's Lifeline's no guns shtick. Which baffled me since his model had a holster on his chest.

Wheres Tiger Stripe Bikini Zaranna???

I Love the original trilogy of G.i.Joe Ladies. All of'em top 5 for me. However, Baroness is my #1! Baroness rules above'em all! 😁

Chuckles and Sherlock are both Army CID Special Agents. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Criminal_Investigation_Division

I'm about to subscribe. I'll be 48 later this month. I can remember when the name was a designation. As far as Mayday... If she's great like "that"?...Maybe the original trained her?...The present pays respect to the past.

Aubrey Sitterson got fired for this reason. He hates America but loves wrestling. Where he has found success. Hope he stays there.

Sitterson was the absolute worst thing to happen to GI JOE at IDW. Also..."the female "Dial Tone" from GI JOE:RESOLUTE was bad ass.

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.

Scarlett is my favorite JOE. Baroness is still the best female character.

I don't consider any character to be a real GI Joe until they have a figure made.

Doesn't Duke get shot in the back in issue #1 or is that like 3 or 4

Her *codename* is Glenda?

Always been a Covergirl fan

Is it female Dialtone his daughter?

Wait Scarlett and snakeye! Not Scarlett and duke!😢how many relationships does Scarlett have?

Cover Girl is my top Joe, not just female. You didn’t list Volga, which is actually a different character than Daina.
