Graduated Action Force undercover ops school, advanced unarmed combat school, top of class, Speciality Action Force modified crossbow, Shaken (throwing stars) and Cantonese Butterfly knives.
“Quarrel is normally passive but explodes into violent action at any moment. Drives anything that moves.”
Quarrel came boxed exclusively with the Rapid Fire Motorcycle. Quarrel was an undercover Commando and has one of the best figure moulds. She has so many various weapons and gadgets on her figure that it reminds me of James Bond! The designers seem to have put a lot of thought and time into this mould. As well as this she is also the driver of the Rapid Fire motorcycle!
Gadgets on her figure include a grenade, ammo clips, shaken (throwing stars), a hidden small revolver, a knife, a catapult and a times explosives device! No other figure had as many weapons and gadgets on their mould. A very cool figure and the first female figure to appear in the Action Force line by 1983. Quarrel was in fact a repaint of the G.I. Joe figure Scarlett. Scarlett was released in the third series of Action Force.

Body Mould
Quarrel’s mould contained a lot of weapons and gadgets. She has a blonde hair with a detailed face sculp. She has black boots and a black body suite. Her arms and upper legs are green and she has black gloves.
On the front of her right shoulder she has a red ammo clip, on the front of her left front shoulder she has a red grenade. Under her right hand she has a concealed small red pistol. On her left glove she has two shaken (throwing stars). On the right side oh her buttocks she has a catapult, on her left leg she has a knife, on the right leg she has an explosives device with timer. She has a pocket on the upper right and left legs. I do not believe any other figure has as many weapons as gadgets in their mould as Quarrel!
