Review - Cobra Baroness by GDTOYS 1/6 Scale GD97009 - G.I. Joe Action Figure Review

[@genx7006]

You were very generous with your score.😂

[@KCtoysandfun]

I think other than the face sculpt and those quality issues I pointed out, it’s actually a rather decent piece. Thanks for the comment also!

[@starXzen]

Lol i was rhe one who called it a Bratz in the unboxing , sorry man, great review! Shame what happened here

[@KCtoysandfun]

Lolol! That’s ok and you were right. That face sculpt is Bratz all the way. Thanks for the comments as always!

[@rodneylove8027]

Thank you for the review. The face sculpt is not even close to the pics I saw months ago. I will be kitbashing parts from this with a Super Duck eurasian headscuplt. Might replace the pleather outfit as well.

[@KCtoysandfun]

Yeah its a little too small also. Wish they included a better expression. Thanks for the comment! Tag me and join the group if you do have pictures to share! Group info in the comments.

Uggly figura the face is Barbie, Bratz Best is Sideshow baroness 1/6

[@KCtoysandfun]

Yes the face is certainly something left to be desired lol

[@KCtoysandfun]

I agree also, Sideshow version better for sure.

[@jarellano1014]

Holy 💩!!! 😱😱 Well I definitely will be hanging on to my Sideshow one!!

[@KCtoysandfun]

Lolol! It has its pros and cons.

[@MikoDarkblade]

I think a threezero one is coming

[@KCtoysandfun]

@@MikoDarkblade I would crap my pants!

[@ras2010able]

Thank you for this review as you helped many collectors to decide whether or not to buy this figure. My honest opinion is the head sculpt is inferior compare to my Sideshow Baroness that I have in my collection. The sword is cool but the weapons look like they going to break easily. The cape looks good for custom enthusiasts so I will be picking up that cape for my female villains. Cobraaaaaa

[@KCtoysandfun]

I should have talked about the cape more sorry about that. It was decent quality and had a wire throughout. Pretty heavy also. As far as the Sideshow version, yes it’s vastly superior including the head sculpt that’s for sure. Thanks for the comment! CCCCCCOBBBRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[@skyhigh388]

Nice review, thank you. I see this as an anime style Baroness.

[@FracturedReality777]

I think the body is a World Box body. You can change the chest on it up to size E. That might explain why the torso armor is so "endowed". It's hollow behind the torso armor, so an upgraded chest would probably fit.

[@KCtoysandfun]

Fantastic info! I didn’t know worldbox even made seamless/silicone type bodies.

[@saysoun752]

Mine just arrived in the US so hopefully it'll arrive by the end of the week. Man, you paid a lot for yours as mine was only $182 and that's with shipping.

[@KCtoysandfun]

$180! That’s an amazing price and in my opinion well worth it. Where did you get yours? I purchased this one from Onesixthkit.com.

[@saysoun752]

@@KCtoysandfun ShowZstore's sister website.

[@KCtoysandfun]

@@saysoun752 Gundamnit? I’ve noticed the price on their 1/6 has come down over the years. Thanks for the info!

[@saysoun752]

@@KCtoysandfun Yeah. I don't know what was happening as it got deleted every single time I made the comment so I just changed it to what you see. I buy most things from them as they're usually the cheapest place to buy with no tax and free shipping.

[@saysoun752]

@@KCtoysandfunMine just arrived and I'm a little disappointed. I thought it was going to be a seamless Phicen body so I was shocked when it wasn't. Guess I'll buy the body and hopefully I can take the clothes off and replace the body without much trouble. Looked like it's going to be a pain as it's a one piece suit. Overall, still very nice.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

It's like a way younger version than the hascrap classified version 😂❤

[@KCtoysandfun]

Hmmm I like that. A younger Baroness…. Maybe explains the weird looking anime type face? Either way it’s certainly not for everyone. Thanks for the comment Ricky!

[@TheGentlemanWake]

I wonder if the extra sculpt from the Sideshow exclusive fits on this body?

[@VforVendetta13]

I really enjoy your honesty on your reviews. I saw this item and was like wow. Seeing it here and the issues its a hard pass. The face looks nothing like the items shown. The hair color is off. The chest problem scares me. It looks great in promo phots but not so great in real life. So thank you.

[@KCtoysandfun]

Thanks for the kind comments! I strive to be as authentic and honest as possible even if that pisses some people off along the way. Thanks again and hope to hear from you again!

[@ingobowen5882]

Left on the wrong review, but when I checked mine the chest piece has velcro on one side and cloth on the other that acts like a hinge. There is also a tab under the velcro side that I assume is to line up both halves

[@KCtoysandfun]

I noticed that and worked it just like that. Took off the Velcro side and applied very little force as I opened it. Still snapped on me unfortunately.

[@KCtoysandfun]

Thanks for the comment also!

[@ingobowen5882]

Also that little brass rod is to move the eyes, the hairline is magnetic

[@KCtoysandfun]

@@ingobowen5882 I had no idea! Thought it was a bullet casing or something lol. Thanks my friend!

[@msintal1308]

will my sideshow baroness head fit on it? i really like that base and accessories .

[@coollectionFun]

Sideshoe one os definitely better and i hope Threezero makes her as well as many many others.

[@s3d17]

Yeah she doesn't need that many accessories, also chest piece, the size, and head sculpt is not ideal. Easy pass. That temperature issue probanly only applied in super hot dry climates.

[@KCtoysandfun]

Yeah, the quality on this suit was much better than the thin leather/pleather on “Jessica” by SWToys. Chest and head sculpt are the worst parts for sure. Thanks for the comment!

[@s3d17]

​@@KCtoysandfun btw the hot toys community don't like all that accessories but there are the sixth scale military figure community who loves insane amount of accessories lol. The military figures are worth $500+. Hot Toys actually started out as a military figure company until they got the Marvel License and the figures took off. Military sixth scale aee the OG folks and some folks has about $500 worth of gear stack on a figure. The military guns for sixth scale figures can cost upward to $100 a piece, the stuff that Hot Toys and these brands uses are like mediocre quality to garbage quality.

[@t.f.t.f.8522]

The head sculpt in your video looks nothing like the one shown in the promo shots. This one looks terrible. I would've been fine with the young anime version which was the impression from the promo pics. Think you saved me some buyer's remorse. However, still very impressed by the accessories.

[@KCtoysandfun]

I think you're spot on. Head sculpt is a little disappointing, however, the accessories including the stand are pretty great.

[@miragexl007]

Did you miss that the eyes can actually move??. Anyway it's Not bad at all, not great. Face looks better in person, especially turning the eyes to one side. Hate the feet on mine and where hands connect!. Chest piece is Way too big.The accessories are quite. good in person..

[@KCtoysandfun]

Connecting the hands was awful I agree. Thanks for the comment!

[@miragexl007]

I added to my comment.. Did you miss that the eyes move?​. Which pretty neat@@KCtoysandfun

[@KCtoysandfun]

@@miragexl007 Oh yeah, I for sure missed that you can move the eyes with that little metal rod thing. It thought it was a bullet casing lol

[@Hopson321]

I like the rest of this figure but the head sculpt is throwing her off . I'm rebuilding my Baroness from scratch to give her more of the Baroness vibe. It's just that head sculpt me ( JUST NO RIGHT!! )

[@3Storms]

Don't like it. For the kind of money it should be perfect. They should have gone for a high-detail version of the 1984 figure from face sculpt to the long boots to everything instead of the apparent update to that likeness. As someone who's been around and even bought a lot of anime stuff, the face looks like a Japanese anime head they tried to recycle as a western-style face. And the hairline is nothing like the Baroness's. And what's with accessories like the sword? Baroness is Cobra's main intelligence officer and has done lots of disguises and undercover, and ninja is one role that never came up for her. The only accessories she originally had were a molded-on sidearm and a rifle, but modern toy companies work by the philosophy of "let's keep giving them accessories until we've filled the package." It reminds me of Takara's "Cool Girl" line in the early 00s, and would fit in better there than in GI Joe.

[@KCtoysandfun]

Maybe I cut that part out of my review but I had said the same thing about the face sculpt looking like a Japanese anime. No expression really either! I also agree with WAYYY too many accessories. The money though I don’t think k is horrible due to everything you actually do get (overkill or not). Thanks so much for the detailed comment and hope to hear from you again!

[@autotechnica]

That head sculpt is terrible and a very lazy attempt by this brand. Her chest doesn't do much to fill in that breast plate. It looks out of place and oversized as generally the frame of the figure is like a twig. Just terrible terrible proportions. I hope three zero comes out with one soon. I wasn't impressed by sideshow's either. The best Baroness hands down is the 1/4 scale premium format by sideshow.

[@KCtoysandfun]

Sideshow one is for sure superior. Love the detailed comment also. Thanks and hope to hear from you again.

[@VforVendetta13]

Why does her hair look brown instead of black. Honestly looks nothing like the pictures they are showing for sale.

[@KCtoysandfun]

Could be my lighting. I still have much to learn! The hair is black though.

[@JohanDewit-wk1gg]

Hair is magnet pull it of and the eyes can move.

[@jessyg17]

Is it just me or is her hair really not black? In my mind she always had darrrrk, raven black hair, but this looks too light and has a weird tint, almost like grey/green? And about the head and face 😬 I think the face shape is really giving alien 👽 Teeny pointy chin, big wide forehead. Also, her eyes look mismatched. Her left eye is either smaller or the bottom eyeliner is too thick and far up, giving that eye a bit of a squinty effect.
