I just wanna thank you for all the great pics, I've been scouring the internet for nice hi-res pics to use as phone wallpaper, as I am one of the few, if not the only person in internetland who is enamored with this set. I agree that the red parts on the C.O.I.L. Assault cycle are plasticky, but I don't give a bucktooth F***. For a first time outing, this cycle is what it should be, a sense of Cobra aesthetic. It isn't a damn street bike, it's a COBRA ASSUALT VEHICLE. The engineering of it is way above average, for 1/6 scale. The way people are talking about it, you'd think we were getting diecast Maisto vehicles every other month with our Marvel Legends and Power Ranger waves. Oh, wait a minnit . . . the Black Widow Marvel Riders bike sucked sour monkey a**? DO TELL, because THAT'S our average.
I was ecstatic when I saw this Cobra Island wave, for all the figures. Like so many of us, I was limited to the barren store shelves at Tar-GOT-YOU! when August 14th came around. All 5 of my stores in Baltimore area were sold out. There was one store in southwest Baltimore that showed "limited stock", and was about 30 minutes away from my house. I got there opening 8am, to a shelf full of nothing. No backstock, because it actually all sold online and the stupid people working the store and site couldn't have been bothered to update the night before. Unfortunately, I had to shell out $100 + shipping and handling for this set because I have the sour GUT feeling that despite comforting reassurances that these will trickle into store shelves in the next year, they WON'T. HasBLO did us some serious wrong with this wave, and I'm not forgetting it. I even sent them feedback on HasBLO Pulse about it, so hopefully alot of us who got screwed did the same, and they won't do this S**T again. Again, just to recap; thanks a bunch for the fantastic photography, I love your taste and this set, screw HasBLO, GALACTOR-I-MEAN-KUSANAGI LOVER OUT. |

Great pics. of the new Baroness & the motorcycle, Tony_Bacala! Very cool. I was initially not going to get the Baroness w/the motorcycle since I was holding out for the regular boxed 6" Baroness. But, I may re-think that - if I ever see the set for retail price @ Target.

Torn between getting the set soon or holding out for a single pack release. Assuming we get one. Dont have a lot of space for 6in joes and that bike doesnt impress me much. Looks like a dollar general toy kinda. Maybe its nicer in hand

I was not able to get a Baroness. That face sculpt is perfect. They BETTER make this WIDELY available in a single pack. I need it.

Baroness received one of the better head sculpts in my opinion ... not sure who she is modeled after, but she's one of the best in the series. That said, Scarlett looks better with the Baroness's body ... and feeds my screwball interest in a love triangle between these two ladies and Destro.
It's okay to judge me for that one. I blame the Sunbow series. |

Wow. Your pics make me appreciate the bike more, though I agree it is a bit "Playskool". Still, Baroness is amazing.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is I think the alt helmet and the name are throwbacks to the Spytroops figure from 2003 Cobra Coils. I believe the helmet design is similar and they were motorcycle troopers.

Awesome pics, Tony. My only gripe about Baroness is the standard that I have for all female Hasbro figures - the arm articulation is terrible. Unless mine is frozen, she doesn't even get a bicep swivel at the shoulder. Her elbows won't do a full 90. It's just bad. Scarlet, Lady Jaye and pretty much all the female Marvel Legends figures I have are similar, so it's not a problem specific to Baroness. It doesn't ruin the figure and the sculpt is fantastic, but it's a problem I sure wish Hasbro would solve, soon. |
