Baroness and Lady Jaye are available for preorder now at $22.99 each. That's $2 below what Hasbro is charging for mainline Classified right now, and the accessories appear (at a glance) to be pretty on par with Classified releases we've seen already.

I'm really not following this claim of "we're getting less and paying more" in the current line, unless you're referring to Hasbro's overall price gouging the last year and change.

EDIT: Destro appears to come with the exact same accessories as his Classified release (albeit unpainted) *in addition to* a figure stand.

Oh, I forgot about these pictures.

Lady Jaye doesn't have the hat-less head. I wonder why I bothered to preorder these.

Where are these preorders? I can find no information when I go to Walmart.com.

Well, it's supposed to be an homage to the original ARAH toy, so it makes sense there's only the hat head. Personally, I think the whole "retro" 6" line is bullshit. I'd just buy this one for $16 and skip the phony retro cardback. https://www.walmart.com/ip/G-I-Joe-C...ries/284573433

It's the much better "prints" on the faces of new re-issues plus the retro items she comes with that is the reason to pick her up, but yes it was too soon to re-issue this figure.

Just wanted to express appreciation to the good people who posted how to jump through hoops to order this and when it became available.

I just hope the eyes are straight.

Can you post a link to the preorder....I've been searching for awhile now with no luck.
