Next month, G.I. Joe fans will be able to get their hands on a Bishoujo statue of Baroness, the femme fatale Cobra agent.
Kotobukiya’s latest reimagining is based on an illustration by artist Shunya Yamashita and features a “deep red color and metallic paintwork,” according to the product description. It also comes with an all-new weapon.
“The popular Cobra agent, Baroness, rejoins the lineup in her costume for the elite Crimson Strike Team in this stunning PREVIEWS Exclusive figure,” the description reads. “Based on the original figures developed by Hasbro in 2002...This Baroness figure has a whole new look.”
Baroness (AKA Anastasia Cisarovna) was first introduced in 1982 as an intelligence officer and lieutenant to Cobra Commander. She is highly skilled in espionage, cryptography, psychological and biochemical warfare and military weaponry. The character was featured in 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, played by Sienna Miller. The character will next be played by Money Heist star Úrsula Corberó in the upcoming Snake Eyes spinoff film.
Kotobukiya’s PREVIEWS Exclusive will be hitting shelves on April 29 with a price tag of $114.99. It is limited to 1,400 pieces and is currently available for preorder.
