Personally I like her... her eyes could use some work, but over all she looks good. Now just swap heads with Scarlett or Covergirl to give "Dialtone" a gray-camo body and BOOM... sweet figure.

In the past we've had characters changing hair colour, and even skin colour, now they change gender. What's next, change species? ;)

Valor vs. Venom Croc Master ring a bell ;)

Ok seriously I think naming her something else was vastly in order, she isn't a bad figure but her ummm shape is all wrong for dial tone, and where is his mustache, its like a trade mark for the character.

Ok maybe not so seriously

I assume the final product will look much better than this one right here. Pre-production figures never look right.

I think she's cool, I like having more females. Besides, Doc became a woman too...

more fodder.

I'm still not convinced that this is verified. They listed Sgt. Stone as Hawk as well, so it might be an error and that there is a Zarana - Resolute Zarana perhaps?

I think she kinda cute.

And she pretty much said, "This is DialTone..."

I guess we get to see what can happen when that operation goes wrong.

The biggest problem with this figure is that there's simply too much eyeliner.

IDW's rebooted GIJoe universe also has Dial-Tone as a woman, by the way.

Can someone post the photo on this thread? I can't see it at hisstank. As I said, I think that it is an awful idea, but I need to see the figure for judging better.

This might be the Character Helix, as described on hisstank. Makes more sense.

So I guess its back to being a rumor.

So we have a female Dial-Tone in the IDW comic and a female Dial-Tone in the Resolute cartoon. It would make sense then, if they made a female Dial-Tone in toy form too. If only because it would be a nice feat of cross-medium coordination.
