Joe redheads

I was looking at the MTF "Vanguard" heads for unmasked Wetsuit and Torpedo and always intended the redhead to be Wetsuit. Upon checking the Sunbow screencaps and Marvel scans, it seems Wetsuit was never a redhead. Where did I get that idea?

So I thought, why not just give the redhead to Barbecue who was also always a redhead in my memory. Again, upon checking the Sunbow caps and Marvel scans it seems Barbecue was never a redhead all along.

So, with the exception of Scarlett, which Joes are redheads?

Ok, I always thought Barbeque was a redhead too.
Just watched a clip from 'The Viper Is Coming' and well...

...he sure looks like a redhead to me.

More redheads include Taurus, Outback, Thunder, Snow Job, Cover Girl, Crankcase, Charbroil, Dogfight, Long Range v1, Big Bear, & Ace (starting with v2). A couple that ride the ginger/brunette border are Cutter & Wildbill.

It's kind of amazing how many of those figures I was certain were not red heads. Like, what universe am I living in certain. Got it my head somewhere that Dusty was blonde and I clicked that link 100% sure his hair was going to be some light brownish, definitely not fire orange.

Ginger revolution! I was surprised too.

I certainly never thought Dusty was a redhead. I know his third figure is, but I never use that figure as Dusty. I don't even use the Tiger Force figure as Dusty, just the v1 version.

The Joes seem to actively recruit for those recessive genes. I was in the Army over 20 years and didn't see that many redheads during my whole career...

The Covers didn't match?
