Bumping retro Baroness for more votes. Did you like this version more or less than the original figure that came with the COIL (#13)? Please share your thoughts and vote!

I still think this one missed the mark by not including her classic style backpack and rifle.
I kind of get why the backpack wasn't included due to it restricting movement with her long hair. But they could have re-sculpted the hair to sit over the backpack, especially since it was pretty small. Also would have been nice to get a swivel cut added to her boots and the better arms with double elbow joints and bicep swivel for this release like the CST one has. I'm guessing we will eventually get that. Would be a perfect 10 if it had the classic rifle and backpack and the updated articulation. I think I would give this release an 8 instead of a 9 if I could go back and recast my vote now.

I give her a solid 7. She looks great, if she were a statue. She has a really nice sculpt with an attractive face, which must be challenging to do at this scale. My only complaint about the sculpt is her pathetically flat butt.
But she's an action figure. Like others have said, they should have given her double jointed elbows, and better gear. Her gear seems randomly thrown together, like some of weaker 6 packs of yore. the lack of her secondary knife sheathe belt also lowers her score. (And how awesome would it have been to throw in the second 'lip biting' head from the crimson version!!) While I like the removable glasses, the slots on the side of her face are just about the worst way to do that. They could have sculpted her hair in a way to hold the glasses and still look natural. This figure fell short of her true potential. |

I gave her a 9 for lack of full arm articulation as others have mentioned. Face sculpt and paint looks great. Features like removable glasses are cool but not used by me as I would always display her with glasses on.
I wish her chest armor was removable but I think it's actually just her torso piece. I wanted to see if I could take it off and put it on a valkyrie for a kit bash blueshirt Baroness but with her unique chest piece. Anyway, that's just me thinking of different looks which has nothing to do with my rating of the figure. I liked the original figure just fine and this was before the days where I realized retro releases could be a thing because I really disliked the cycle and all firearms that came with that version. |

Needed the ARAH backpack and rifle. Pretty solid "squint and it works" approximation, but honestly a budget rework of the first release.
As someone who worships at the ARAH style guide, 5/10. |
