I wasn't going to pick up a RoC Baroness (at least not the first version), but Target was having a $3.50 sale, and the only other figures they had were Destros and Neo Vipers, so I decided I'd bite the bullet and get one just for fodder. Now, I'd seen the pictures of the figure before, and I knew it was pretty bad, but I thought it would be one of those cases where, once I got it in hand, I would see that it wasn't *that* awful (like I did with RoC Cover Girl). I was completely wrong. It looks WORSE in person. This is, without a doubt, the ugliest headsculpt Hasbro has ever done. Worse than some of the early JvC sculpts, worse than Monkey Face Leia. It was supposed to be Sienna Miller. Instead, we got someone's sixty year old aunt who lives alone with twenty cats and macrames her own underwear.
I had to do a fix. Thankfully, I had a head already prepared. It was intended for a different custom that got scrapped, but it works well here (I think). A better likeness to the actress, at least (of course, the same could be said about Heavy Duty's head). I also painted the corset piece of her torso a more matte black (doesn't really show up in the photos) just so the whole figure wouldn't be so insanely glossy. Parts: Head: Indiana Jones Elsa Schneider w/ Baroness hair Everything else: RoC Baroness |

That head swap does look nice. Hadn't considered Elsa, but I think there are a few around here, I may have to try it. The matte black looks good as well

Never really cared for that version of the Baroness, but you improved upon her.
What head is that from?

MUUUCHHH better. I really wanted to get a RoC Baroness figure, but everytime I run across one I just can't bring myself to do it.

Looks good. I never saw Elsa around here, otherwise I might try it! Did that head fit on without any work or did it need adjusting? And do the glasses fit any better on Elsa's head than they did on the original Baroness head?
