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:
“Fashionable women regard themselves, and are regarded by men, as pretty toys or as mere instruments of pleasure; and the vacuity of mind, the heartlessness, the frivolity which is the necessary result of this false and debasing estimate of women, can only be fully understood by those who have mingled in the folly and wickedness of fashionable life ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“The Child’s Toys and the Old Man’s Reasons
Are the Fruits of the Two seasons.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“If there is a species which is more maltreated than children, then it must be their toys, which they handle in an incredibly off-hand manner.... Toys are thus the end point in that long chain in which all the conditions of despotic high-handedness are in play which enchain beings one to another, from one species to another—cruel divinities to their sacrificial victims, from masters to slaves, from adults to children, and from children to their objects.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
