Toys
Jinx was first released as an action figure in the 1987 edition of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline. Like many of the female G.I. Joe characters, Jinx has had a very small number of action figures produced. As of 2011, she has had one 3 3/4-inch figure named Jinx, and two 3 3/4-inch figures named "Agent Jinx". One of these ("Covert Infiltration Specialist", released in 2004) actually reveals her face, but her real name is still classified.
In 2011, a new Jinx figure was announced for the exclusive pre-release by the official G.I. Joe Collectors' Club. Two different new 3 3/4-inch figures, named "Kim Arashikage", were announced to be released in the G.I. Joe: Retaliation 2012 Movie Line exclusively at the San Diego Comic-Con 2012: an updated classic in a red ninja suit, and an unmasked variant of her wearing a white costume and wielding a kusarigama.

Famous quotes containing the word toys:
“Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage,
And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age:
Pleased with this bauble still, as that before;
‘Till tired he sleeps, and life’s poor play is o’er.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Man hath still either toys or care:
But hath no root, nor to one place is tied,
But ever restless and irregular,
About this earth doth run and ride.
He knows he hath a home, but scarce knows where;
He says it is so far,
That he has quite forgot how to go there.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
