Note – Scroll down to see a picture of a Glenda figure at Joefest 2023 from Toy Kennections.
Last night, the Operation Dragonfly Haslab hit the 13,000 backers needed to unlock the Classified Night Force Rip Cord figure. The next goal is unlocked at 16,000 backers and it has just been revealed to be Classified Jane “Glenda” Mullighan, a more obscure G.I. Joe character that has only been released in Argentina and is a repaint of Scarlett. You can watch the Hasbro Pulse reveal video here.
From Hasbro:
G.I. JOE ASSAULT COPTER DRAGONFLY (XH-1) CLASSIFIED RECRUIT #2
Well done, friends. As our Assault Copter fleet continues to grow, the Joe team needs another pilot to keep our birds flying high and to train the next generation of recruits. I’ve found the perfect candidate among the ranks of our international comrades in arms, the Comandos Heroicos. They stand proud in defense of freedom. If Operation: Dragonfly reaches 16,000 orders before the end of the campaign on July 17th, all backers will receive a G.I. Joe Classified Series Jane “Glenda” Mullighan action figure in addition to the base offering. The piloting skills of this Master Instructor rival those of any active Joe and as an added bonus we’ve included a separate harness which is adjustable to fit multiple figure sizes and attaches to the hoist’s rescue hook. Let’s work together to bring Jane “Glenda” Mullighan into the G.I. Joe fold.
Renderings for Jane “Glenda” Mullighan:
Here is the vintage Glenda, who was never released in the US, and the US-released Scarlett, who she was a repaint of (click to enlarge).
UPDATE: Big thanks to Toy Kennections for sharing this picture of a Glenda figure he spotted in the wild at Joefest 2023 last week at a vendor called Roma Collectibles from Ohio. It was a little scratched up, so it was selling for $600. He said he went back to pick her up but she was already gone. Whoever bought that Glenda figure must be REALLY happy right now!
The final goal a third Classified figure – is unlocked at 19,000 backers. Click here to become a backer.
It took just approximately 10 days and 10 hours to hit 13,000 backers. Check out Brian Brink’s chart to show the progress and comparison to last year’s H.I.S.S. Tank Haslab progress.
Operation Dragonfly ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on July 17, 2023. GDL will cover it when those goals are met! You can track the status of each funding level here.
