My Joeverse needs a Baroness.

Just one. I've found the perfect hair, the perfect face, and definately the perfect body.

Of course, making it all fit together might kill me.

Attack on he GI joe Pit Baroness from Rise of Cobra, would be THE De facto Baroness figure, if not for the Sarah Palin facesculpt.

Looked through sculpted head casts, retail figure head casts, everywhere... And finally found the face I want. 25th Scarlett's face is too tall and narrow to be scarlett. But her eyes and chin give her just enough asianic influence to be Romanian!

Since fleshtone matching is a non-issue, all there is to this one is parts swapping and some light painting. The head from 25th Scarlett, the hair from Paris Pursuit Baroness. Everything else is verbatim "Attack on the Pit" Baroness.

These are just my Parts testing images. I've yet to glue anything. But once I do, i'll then give her some red lipstick, darken her eyebrows slightly, and paint the heels of her boots silver.

Not too shabby.
I striped the factory paint off of the head and repainted it from the the ground up. It looks so much better - idk why she came out all puffy faced from the factory.

like this figure for sure. i LOVE the baroness absolute fav cobra fig, and this is a pretty good portrayal of her, but i like the old school glasses on her.

I put this same combo together and loved it too but changed it for another bad girl. . .

You're absolutely right! Working on some lip gloss now. I'm liking the pink...

How did you get the hair and head to fit properly? Did you just add some bulk to the back of the head? and did glasses still fit the head without just gluing them on?

Also, which bad girl? lol

I dry fitted them together but never set it all in stone.
I felt the 25th anni Baroness was awesome enough. . .
So I took a MU (mohawk) Storm shaved her head put the Baroness hair on it with Storm's vest and dubbed her Khymera. . . Click my link below!

There we go. did the gluework. She can still wear the sunglasses (sort of roughed up the sides of the head so they'd have somewhere to grip) now I have -MY- ideal Baroness... Which means, I guess this can be moved to Completed projects.
