The problem with these is I need them mint on card and even if hypothetically these were well stocked on shelves it doesnt matter since I dont have a Walmart near me and mail order from Walmart is almost guaranteed to arrive damaged (or just get cancelled).
A collector con approaching... Very nice.???
I would be tempted to order it, but Walmart cancels every damn thing I preorder. I see absolutely no point in even attempting to preorder from Walmart anymore.
The upcoming Walmart Exclusive G.I. Joe Classified 6" Retro Carded Baroness And Lady Jaye figures from Hasbro are available for pre-order now on Walmart's website. You have to scroll down to the listings that say GIJ RETRO CARDBACK CHARACTER MARS (Baroness) and GIJ RETRO CARDBACK CHARACTER ROCKET (Lady Jaye) and add them to your cart. If you click on the actual listings it will take you to the main Walmart Collector-Con page. These officially are supposed to go up for pre-order for that event which begins next week on March 24.
Kinda seems like missed opportunity for the Retro line, Instead of this simple repaint they could easily update this figure into less armored and more classic retro catsuit look with double joints and new headsculpt, even if it took them another year or so before we could see it.
Nice find. I actually like this face better but I'm concerned about losing the glasses. Not sure how I miss d this originally
I think I will need to have it in my hand to see if it worth it, I already have the Target version so it will really be up to the packaging to convince me to pull the trigger.
17 hours ago, K9K1N6 said:admittedly when i saw the render i felt and still feel weirded out to see just only 1 of her 3 or 4? Cobra sigils painted and the rest bland, but i do kinda like how she looks, those gaps on the face are gonna haunt me for sure but i wouldn't display her without glasses so that ain't a problem
The unpainted Cobra emblems on the belt and wrist guards are accurate to the '84 figure, but without the red paint there it just looks unfinished and a little half-assed. The retro packaging, assuming one can find it not bent all to hell, would be something that would ordinarily very much appeal to MIP collectors, so having the glasses separate in there pretty much assures that almost no one will display it like that. It's a shame, because aside from looking like a thinner card that the Retro Marvel and Star Wars releases, and the obviously weird thing with the glasses, it's otherwise a pretty nice presentation. Leaving out the rifle, moving the pistols lower down and putting the glasses on the face could also allow for a shorter bubble, which help make this thing look even better. A fuller bio on the file card on the back would help a lot, too. I have a feeling the small amount of copy there won't satisfy most of the collectors who have been clamoring for their return.
I like this in concept more then actual execution, card and all of that, yeah cool, re-releasing Baroness single packed cool, honestly this feels like less of a figure though, the original release of Baroness seemed far more detailed and better done IMO. I think it's crazy that this figure is already out though and somebody just randomly found it so early.
I like the rifle, but since I have the original I don't think I'll be picking this one up.
