If you love G.I. Joe, or someone in your life does, Sideshow has quite the collectible. The latest in their line of high end G.I. Joe releases, the new Baroness Premium Format "Classic Version" Figure is a very cool and attention-getting addition to a Joe fan's collection.

"COBRA!"

This is actually a revamped version of a Baroness figure first released a couple of years ago, which soon sold out its limited edition run of 750. That version was in Baroness' more well-known black outfit, while the new one is in the dark blue Cobra colors the character was first introduced wearing, hence the "Classic" titling. This is a rare second chance for G.I. Joe fans to get a rather stunning collectible based on one of the most popular characters from the series.

"COBRAAAAA!"

Done in 1:4 scale, the Baroness figure is over 22 inches tall and is a great companion piece for the previously-released Cobra Commander Premium Format Figure, built in the same scale and with the same Cobra-insignia base.

"...Cobra."

The Baroness figure is expertly-made, featuring a striking, "Don't mess with me" pose for the G.I. Joe character that made many little boys end up having a thing for bad girls - and girls with glasses. Per usual for Sideshow, the detail is terrific, from the pouches on Baroness' belt to the gun holster (with removable gun) on her hip. In a fun touch, Baroness has dark blue, Cobra-inspired highlights in her hair - though I suppose some purists might scoff at that?

The costuming is also really impressive, mixing a cloth body suit with plastic armor pieces (though you will ponder just how long it takes Baroness to get in and out of that outfit - but nobody said looking that good while fighting G.I. Joe was easy, did they?)

Priced at $359.99, the Baroness Premium Format Figure -- which is essentially a mini-statue -- is obviously not for the casual fan, hence another limited edition run of 750. But if you're a G.I. Joe fan wanting to splurge on yourself or if you are a very awesome friend or loved one to a G.I. Joe fan and want to really go all out in the gift department this holiday season, this one is for you.

"Yo Joe... Damn it!"

If you're a Baroness fan and you love the color red, you should also be aware that the box for the Classic Version shows a Crimson Version which must be in the pipeline for an upcoming release...
