The Baroness has been repainted to look more like her first "Uniformed appearance" in the GI Joe cartoon with a blue costume, yellow highlights and black boots and gloves. The body is the same as the first one. However, midway through production Hasbro apparently gave her a thinner crotch to allow her to sit better as there have been versions with thinner crotches and wider ones. The head is an all new sculpt that matches the body in looking like the Baroness' first appearance in the cartoon. The hair is straight and lays across her shoulders and she has green, square framed glasses now. The backpack is gone, probably due to the fact that her new hair covers up the back hole. The Baroness comes with her Rifle and a Cobra Stand.
It's a nice figure but the head is really the only reason to buy this one. I'm glad Hasbro made a "first cartoon colors" version but this would have been better used in a DVD or comic pack. Figure Rating: 5 out of 10 Last edited by Shogi; 08-31-2011 at 06:14 PM.. |

Ive already bought and traded that version. Box set version is way better...but the box set has horrible glasses. Now all we need is the Crimson Gaurd colors with uber glasses!

It's frustrating that we get a non-hump back Baroness with decent hair only for the body to be the 'wrong' colour and the glasses to be poop. We really need an amalgam of the two released so far and they'd hit the jackpot.
Also, I do wish toy manufacturers in general would realise that women don't, as a rule, actually stand with their legs apart like that. It would be nice if a future Baroness figure could stand with her feet together and look deadly but also feminine...

Yeah, 5/10 does sound right. Maybe 6/10. I never really liked the 25th Baroness in the first place. But it's the only one there is going to be, so it's either like it or don't have a Baroness in your collection. The 3-pack Cover Girl and Valor vs. Venom Bomstrike are the best female molds ever. 25th females don't come close, imo.

Swap heads with the 5-pack and I'd say she goes up to 6.5/10.

This figure blows...this the only one of the main characters i have found and passed on numerous times. This is probably one of two (serpentor) where the original still looks better than the super-articulated piece-o-s%#t thier giving us now.-M.O.P.
