The 2005 Imperial Processional set is just weird. It's got a bizarre amalgamation figure who operates as an army builder, offbeat colors and throne that's barely enough to lift a figure off the floor. But, it kind of works. 2000's Joe was so banal that anything that took even a remote chance remains a bit more interesting, today.
This Baroness figure used to be the most unique look for the mold. But, Lady Jaye Toys rendered this figure moot with their dozens of Baroness mold repaints in the past two years. This figure does have the alternate head. But, I'm not sure it's better.
Regardless, check out the content on her, below. You'll find a nice mix of items written upon her release as well as more modern takes on the figure. I have a real profile that will drop on Halloween. It should be pretty easy to guess which figure it is.

Duuuuude…. I’ve never seen this figure up close or in detail before, definitely never in person. You don’t really need to do a Halloween profile; that face is just creepy, like it’s staring into the depths of your soul 👁️👁️🙀
ReplyDeleteHorrible microcabeza.
ReplyDeleteToday, I learned a new word! :p -Chev
DeleteCan you imagine if we got the Comic Pack Serpentor in these colors, instead of Cobra Commander? That would've been the coolest set ever.
ReplyDeleteWould have been the most interesting Serpentor figure, for sure. While we got the 2 repaints in the 2000's, I think there was more they could have done with the mold.
DeleteIt boggles my mind that we never got a Serpentor repaint in Cobra blue (maybe with some red as a secondary color). Seems like such an obvious move...in an age where Hasbro was all about obvious moves
ReplyDeleteYou ain't kiddin' either.
