Released in August 2022 as part of the debut wave of Wal-Mart's exclusive Retro assortment, many Classified fans were happy to finally get the Baroness sans her C.O.I.L. bike. This "retro" version of the Baroness also has numerous revisions from her original release with the C.O.I.L. motorcycle.
Retro Baroness comes with the following weapons and accessories: an assault rifle, a machine gun, (2) pistols, a pair of removable glasses and a stand. Differences between this retro figure and her original COIL release are: 1) - Her glasses are now removable. 2) - Updated paint apps on her face. 3) - Her jumpsuit and armor are all black now instead of a mix of black and charcoal. 4) - The cobra logos on her gloves and belt buckle are black now instead of red. 5) - The gold on the frames of her glasses and on her boot buckles was removed. 6) - Her gold pistols are black now. 7) - She didn't come with her dagger and sheath. 8) - She comes with different and more realistic rifles. 9) - She did not come with the motorcycle helmet. 10) - She did not come with the unique, silver snake arm blaster weapon. 11) - This figure came with a stand. **Like the other retro figures from wave 1 and wave 2, the card stock on these figures was not as sturdy as it probably should have been and most people received damaged card backs in the mail when the figures started shipping out. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

I can't decide if I want to give this a 9 or a 10. I feel like the lack of double elbow joints and the shin/boot cut joint knocks her down a point from a 10 and I also would have preferred her to have come with her black backpack with the big Cobra on it.

I'm going 9 instead of 10 because the cardback's too flimsy, the bubble is too crowded unlike the newer figures where the weapons come presented more visually pleasing, & she doesn't have the modern joints...otherwise she is good especially with removing the gold trim

8/10. Points off for articulation, but prefer this figure to the COIL version.

I gave the Cobra Island Baroness a 7, taking paints off for the gold guns, gold rims on the glasses, and limited articulation. This Baroness fixed the gold issue with the gold on the glasses and guns and gains two points but also loses two points for the unpainted Cobra symbols on the belt and gauntlets (that's subjective, as I know it's accurate to the 1984 figure). The figure also loses a point for not having the knife and another point for not having the glasses attached, which looks weird as fuck in the package. So...6.

I like the Coil version better... but this one is still a 9 for me.

I give her a 9. I don't actually prefer either version over the other, but I dislike the Coil, so I docked a point on the other released version of Baroness for that. What keeps this figure from being a 10 is the outdated articulation on the elbows and the fact that they gave her the Cobra Trooper's guns, instead of giving her the classic rifle and backpack from the 1984 figure.

I like that Hasbro gave collectors an option to get the figure if they didn't want the bike. I had hoped we might also see a retro Breaker, but that's mostly because his card art was one of my favorites as a kid.

It's a less good version of the last one. The deco is worse, the gear is worse. Its just worse. I mean its base figure is still really good, so its not awful, but it's just lesser.

I would've preferred more classic looking weapons so gave her a 9.
