G.I. Joe Baroness with C.O.I.L. Bike Hasbro Classified Series Special Missions Island Figure Review

I had to rely on friends for another of the Target exclusive G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Island figures. I'm happy to have Baroness, I really am, but I could probably do without the C.O.I.L. bike.

I was there when Robo first laid his eyes upon that Burger Boss figure at NYTF in the secret Jazwares room. It was love at first sight.

[@jgfjkhgjkgjlkbklj]

He spoke about this moment the first time he unboxed Burger Boss! Would have been an interesting alternate universe if you had chosen it instead Shart. Maybe it would have replaced Big time Spidey??

I need to make a custom Dreadnok type enemy figure for the Joes. He will be Codename: Scalper

@@mattbrock476 the slimiest, scariest dreadnok ever.

It's G.I. Joe against Target the enemy Fighting scalpers everyday! He’s never on shelves- They’re always bare Pissing off collectors everywhere!

[@brianng8350]

Is it Target or is it Hasbro that is keep these super rare to help collectors and drive up the secondary market, which I guess Hasbro indirectly appreciates?

Giving Robo some love when hes up against the mandolorian season 2 trailer.

What?! Oh shit! I need to watch that trailer! I'll be right back!

[@gyarados6665]

Seeing how well they did her glasses makes what they did to the ML plain clothes Peter Parker hurt even more.

[@justingates4985]

Those Peter Parker glasses were a crime...someone should be punished for making that decision.

[@skittlesnacks]

Unfortunately quality control is doing a poor job when it comes to her glasses. I had to order 3 of them before I found one that didn't have one lens warped and fogged up so bad you couldn't see her eye. Being they're hardly ever in stock it took weeks. :(

[@gyarados6665]

@@skittlesnacks I got the FedEx notification that the one I ordered during the recent restock just got dropped off, but I’ll still be at work for 6 hours so now I’ll be worried about that all night lol.

As a casual collector, I'll never see this in stores MSRP.

[@Ordinaryguy82]

Just found them in Salinas, ca. That bike is huge, love her

[@michaelvasquez6342]

Hey I am in the same area lol I was actually able to find a cobra trooper in marina and then a baroness up in san jose.

[@mangler103]

I lucked out and found the case of 3 on a stock cart, had an employee crack it open, and got one. I imagine the other two never saw the shelf.

[@theramblinmahoney2316]

Robos going hard on these intros.

[@casperzack1346]

After 8 months of searching I finally got my own baroness 🙌

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

So glad you got one of these!!! Same I have only seen roadblock. I just want this baroness, beach head, and 2 troopers.

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

I wish the helmet had flowing hair out the back

[@brianng8350]

custom parts requested!

[@billpagan3070]

Absolutely love this figure! The face sculpt is PERFECT!!! I can live with not having the best articulation.😁👍

[@driver8sk]

Great review. I can't wait to get mine next year when Target restocks.

[@jamesschulziii9098]

I see giving the snake to cobra Commander, like his scepter coiled around his arm....she's pretty good, not liking the elbow articulation...

[@TheFwoosh]

You know, the arm serpent does seem more of a Cobra Commander type thing.

[@travisa7669]

Got mine as a birthday gift. Still got it in package. One day I will open it. Great review!

[@sixth_under6766]

Great review! as usual

[@WillRipamonti]

Man, I wish the ML Legendary Riders vehicles got that much love. Look at all that original sculpt and all those paint apps! That cycle looks terrific and I love the Akira vibe, I really hope I'll manage to get ahold of this set!

Picked up from Target. Loves the Baroness and great cycle.

Fun. I laughed for all the ways they added yet ANOTHER snake. The coiled arm cobra is hilarious. The bike is gaudy, but I dig the stills at the end! 👍

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Great review as usual... just wish everyone who wanted it could purchase it like it should be.

[@TheFigureDoctor]

I can't tell you how much I relate to the super long inhale before starting the review 😂

[@stevenjohansen3827]

You're the first one I've seen notice that pic on the side, and I need some friends like you have to get these things since Target can't. Over 50 miles nothing in stock.

[@matotoole3791]

Awesome review, I agree about the bike , I would prefer just the figure, can’t wait for that punisher bike though, all we need is a few Dreadnoks to go with it

[@charleswhitley4347]

Love your channel, thank you!

[@somarriba333]

Oh look. It's that figure that is NEVER in stores.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

Never been a GI Joe fan, but this Baroness is a great looking figure

[@adinocc2042]

Very good with that Maj.Hooper!

[@mickeyperdomo1324]

Hasbro should make a G.I. Joe app where it can take QRC code reader and put a QR code on the side of the package. That way, you can scan the code and immediately decode the file card. Plus, you can use it to keep track of your collection.

[@romedramazone]

So COOL!!! I already collect Horror figures, I'm gonna have to start collecting GI Joe again 😁

[@hulksmash8159]

Good luck.

[@chrisellis230]

[@cesarperez4133]

Great review, as always. Should have put baroness on the moped. :D

[@funkadelicrailroad1714]

Maaaaan that map on the back of the box would be awesome for GI Joe briefing room screen on the wall if you do A.C.B.A or actually play with them.

[@oxmeatpete]

Love ya Robo and really enjoyed the more positive or neutralish review. I really am not a grumpy guy but it’s really upsetting to me to watch all these toy reviewers give it a “ho hum” and negative review when I can’t even get it. I really want it and it just seems like hoarders and scalpers are just sitting on this yet reviewers are just trashing it. It’s enough for me to give up on this line. Crazy times.

[@mathieuduval7544]

Great review as always....does Scarlett as a backpack?? what custom did you do??

[@HalCG]

I have absolutely no attachments to G.I. Joe but these reviews kinda make me crave those figures

[@trippin_ninja]

I still have only seen Roadblock of this wave. I have seen the others show up on popfindr but they were never at the store when I got there. So frustrating. Still waiting on my pre-orders of Cobra Commander from that goofy app they made us all sign up for too. I will lose my mind if I see Cobra Commander in the store before those pre-orders get shipped, especially after accidentally ordering 2 because their site was so lagged out. I really wish Hasbro would just put pre-orders up before release and then crank them out to meet the initial demand so we aren't constantly battling scalpers.

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Same here and agree 100%

[@markmichel3855]

I found cobra commander at target

[@Cameroo]

I can't stop thinking of Sarah Palin with a snake motif.

[@Aczie042]

I would say out most of the characters having Baroness, Destro, and Cobra Commander own gold-plated weapons make sense for their personalities.

[@mikecustoms]

I just got into this line and turns out that this set is really easy to find where I live and it's pretty cheap, so I don't mind the bike and accesories at all

[@BTT16]

Still can't find her here in GA. My plan was to get three...2 helmeted versions flanking Baroness without the helmet, like she has some sidekicks. I ended up finding Gung Ho yesterday so maybe there's hope!

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

I likely chuckled more than necessary at 'robotic laser snake'

[@Sabir_DelNorte]

I just got this one a few weeks back it was available via Amazon at this point, I also picked up the retro 6in in the same classified line recently too. Enjoyed the video. What heat gun do you use by chance, I’m new to this aspect of collecting figures and I had the same issue with the coil cycle with the handlebar to socket fit also. Didn’t think about a heat gun but what kind did you use? Does it matter? Thanks

[@maggiethegoblin8130]

Dear sweet Luci, you found the holy grail. The "female arms are too thin for double elbows" thing is just getting ridiculous though, I mean c'mon Jazwares can do it, and a bunch of other companies can. I don't get Hasbro's weird aversion to them. Or heck just beef up the arms, give the girls some guns!

[@michaelterrell9645]

Overall this is a good set. I wish the Baroness came with the Cobra Ferret (the ATV) instead of the motorcycle. As Robo said if you qant the classic look, this is the set. But who knows if we're getting another Baroness figure later on. Still need a Baroness in her blue uniform as well. Great job Robo!!

[@cesarsulcacravero6136]

Looove the figure and I recently watch the GI Joe Renegades cartoon and its funny cause Snake Eyes has a red motorcycle and a helmet very very very similar to this one!!!!

[@mstiefan6996]

Dang it Robo...for how often you've used that Fortnite Beef Boss figure in these G.I.Joe reviews, it prompted me to pick him up for my own display.

[@hiyadenamuuug2848]

Purple-haired Baroness? NO THANKS! After finding out the standalone might be based off the game where the Baroness has a huge chunk of purple in her hair I absolutely had to get this one. After weeks of dead ends I gave in to a scalper but the next morning Popfindr led me to a nearby Target that just got a fresh stock. I love this figure and even the bike, I don't mind having 2 at all. And damn it felt good to find one of these the normal way!

[@alessandrosignore7500]

You and gi Joe! You made me fall in the damn rabbit hole you amazing hilly billy, are you happy?!

[@vgamer11]

Funny enough, in my area each Target only ever gets one of these and I found out just yesterday that rival collectors hide them all. I'll just have to hope that a re-release comes out sometime.

[@jamiehollingsworth1972]

I got one Sunday it very nice

[@kney102371]

Add heat! Thanks! That handlebar was driving me nuts!

[@brucelaborin2124]

It. Is. About. TIME. I've waited for this review for WEEKS. There have been some good reviews for this, but I've waited to witness your enthusiastic review. I'm over the complaints just for complaints sake. I knew you would give a pretty fair review, but the positive comments are what I knew the Baroness would get . . . her just DUE. I finally bought one on ebay, now that the prices busted down to something un-obscene. $65 + $14 Fed-Ex shipping . . . because F@#! TAR-GOT-U, AND HASBLO.

[@Cobralalalala]

My Target had a couple of these the other week, along with series 2, but no other Cobra Island figures. I thought about getting her, but can't really justify $40 when I don't care about the bike. I'm not stressed though. I have Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, so anything else is gravy. :)

[@pinkdevil019]

Now my irrational crush just jumped from 6 to 15! I like this figure! Great review Robo

[@MMunn]

Great review a always, this wave has been hands down the biggest pain in the ass for me to find in many years, have not seen a single one, finally pulled the trigger and paid double on eBay for all of them except Roadblock, hate to reward scalpers but prices have steadily increased over the last week as inventories are drying up. Spoke to my local Target manager and he said he only received 2 figures in his last order that were swooped up before they even made it out of the stock room and they’ve been shut down on reorders so wondering if this may be it for these releases until the variants are reissued in the regular line. Hasbro is making it hard to love them at the moment.

[@MerlinMAVK]

I did the same thing after the same issues with Firefly and Cobra Viper repeated yesterday. Could be wrong but suspect there is no way this gets fixed in less than a year, if ever.

[@johnthompkins9593]

Just want Baroness they can keep the motorcycle.

[@suhtangwong]

Scalpers, on your mark, get set, Rob all collectors gooooo!

[@jeysfigs8787]

Damn great Stop-Motion in the beginning of the video

[@graefx]

Tall lady :O I really like this one and I'm actually into the bike too. The helmet I can see having some swap possibilities. She also looks like a friend lol

[@chrisrooks5964]

Hi Robert not sure if you've heard this or not but the Target exclusive G.I.JOE line has been canceled and the figures are supposed to be re-released later on everywhere.

[@Neitenth]

Did your uncle who works at Hasbro tell you that?

[@dmun888]

Have never seen these on the actual shelves. Had to use Popfindr to get both of mine. Not seeing it on the shelves I kindly asked one of the employees for help. Gave the dpci # and they tracked it down for me. Some stores are limiting one per customer so they are holding them in back and doing the first come first served thing. You can also call up the store to make sure they haven't already sold them all. Depending on the store, they may even hold it for you. No guarantee they will hold it. Hope this is helpful if you are still looking for her.... seriously though, be kind to these Target employees. It's not their fault Hasbro and Target screwed up distribution, and pre-orders. Bots and Scalpers aren't making it easier either

[@DaSolidSam]

For once I thought I was gonna get something before robo... mine is coming Thursday.

[@hard2findtoysllc999]

Voice change for Burger Boss? Great job as always!

[@greyygoblinn5639]

Is that peg made for a figures foot on the motorcycle or could we see a side car in the future that clips on???? I think that would be super dope to see like a big machine gun side car

[@aaroneaston8899]

Nice head swap. Going to try her on a few bodies. I think Hasbro missed an opportunity to pack her in with a trouble bubble or cobra ATV.

[@steverino6954]

Me and another guy got to the Toy aisle to see an empty shelf. The other guy got an employee to go check in the back and bingo! We both got our Baroness'. I, too would have preferred Just the figure at half the price, but what are ya gonna do. (I may try to do some paint work on the bike.)

[@nathanscruggs9870]

What was the app you were trying to use to the figure?

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Rear pegs are for the back seat

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

Target needs to get these to be 30 per store. Troopers 60 per store. They need to over order to not only get the fans and passerby get to see these in the wild. Like the good ole days. If they see that they sell. Put more on the shelves

[@andrewm1309]

Seriously want the baroness and the bike

[@joals1081]

Does the helmet head fits the cobra trooper figure? It would be great for a trooper to use the bike. :)

I wouldn't mind a variant of her in the blue used on the regular Cobra Commander or even Red for a Crimson guard deco.

Can't find this in my area. I've checked my nearest Target every day since August 14th. Nothing ever on Popfindr for the 4 Targets in my immediate area either. Hasbro and Target really dropped the ball on these exclusives.

[@MikeH7186]

I really hate the idea of paying so much for single jointed elbows and a bike I don't need. But I prefer this one to the retro.. maybe if I keep waiting they'll release another one. Edit: Ah screw it. I just bought Baroness and Destro lmao. I'm not a patient man.

[@Aesopartemis]

Figures are great, but the common issue is the wrist and feet gets easily loose. I just display them with double sided tape on their foot, then the next day you see them falling doing the matrix

As someone who does want the motorcycle, I'm trying to be patient. I'm not paying a scalper, I don't need it that badly, but I'd rather get this set and skip a single packed Baroness later.

I got a different idea for you putter with black widow with her motorcycle that's what I'm gonna do. And I think that peg is so she can stand in front of the motorcycle Kick stand.
