Hasbro- G.I. Joe Classified: Baroness
*Hot Take Warning*
I hate when people over sexualize the Baroness. I get it: she’s hot, wears a skin tight uniform and uses her feminine charm to get what she wants, but she’s not a sex worker or a stripper. Can we please stop drawing her with her boobs out and cosplaying her like some off duty stripper?
On a completely different rant, can we also stop making vehicles for 6” figures? I don’t have the space and don’t want to pay the inflated prices. This is especially egregious for a lame, nondescript motor bike such as this. Like, if you are going to produce a vehicle and make us buy it to get a very popular character, at least base it off of an existing G.I. Joe/Cobra vehicle.
Pros: The real star of this set is the Baroness herself, which is how it should be. Nicely detailed sculpt, a head sculpt that sticks the landing with glasses (traditionally difficult to do) and some really fantastic weapons / accessories that all have storage on her belts. Also, big props for NOT giving her high heels.
Cons: I’m just going to say it: the bike is unnecessary. It’s generic, looks gaudy and only adds cost to a figure that should have been released on her own. Please no more hunks of plastic.
