The Undertow Officer I think was kinda weak. Hated that they used diver Baroness as the flippers were molded on. The other thing was it was very hard to take the mask off after trying it on once. Her head kept popping off when I tried to remove the mask. So, I'm thinking of using her as Mistress Armada and not using the scuba gear anymore. Just need to find a better backpack later.
For now, I swapped her feet with a ROC Firefly's. I had to do very little painting. Never thought I would be glad Hasbro made that Firefly's feet too small. Works perfect for this figure though. Unfortunately, her legs are not the same length. :(

Great update- thanks for sharing! Works perfect as Armada- headsculpt, IG symbol, color scheme. I now plan on doing your foot swap update when mine gets shipped.

Why can't MIstress Armada Start out as the Undertow Officer. Other than the fact she was black we never learned of any of Mistress Armada's background. THeir filenames are different though but I might over look that. I'm so stealing that for my Joeverse.
Oh good work on the feet. Those flipper feet suck! Was it hard to pop off and replace the feet without snapping off the tabs?

Great idea.. and going to steal the foot swap. Lol
as for the question ^ there.. just need to do a heat pop.. either use a blow dryer and heat up the plastic until the feet pop out, or take a small cup, fill half way with water, throw into a microwave for about a minute and a half put the figures feet in the water for a second pull out and pop the feet. That is usually the method I prefer.

You know I forgot all those things. After my initial post I went back to double check any available background info. Obviously not the same person, so there is hope that one day the club may produce a MIstress Armada figure on their own. Although didn;t the Baroness shoot her dead?

A new character for me and she looks great. Great addition to the Cobra side.
