Very impressive. Love the alternative hand with the MAC-10

Nice looking but not at $350. Call me when they do a posable figure.

Cue Dark Jedi fap fest in 3... Nope. He's already finished.

Too pricey for a statue. Hell, too pricey in any format.

The Premium Format figures are not my cup of tea but the design is spectacular. I can only hope they hold on to this level of detail when they do the 12" figure.

Looking forward to the 12" version. This does look great.

I'm in love!

Although the only way I would pay that much for a figure is if she were life sized....

Yep I thought it was a really nice item when I thought it was a 12" figure. Then I saw the price and said no. Then I saw it was jest a statue and I said heck no!

she islisted as1/4scale, the price isn't that bad if she is that tall. She's no more than an low-mid range shotgun , or a goodnight at the stripclub's , or 1 good tire for your truck. You just got to put it in perspective.

Don't need it

Never have to spend that much for a good night

Don't drive a truck.

However, if we're playing the perspective game, I'll say that it's just a little more expensive than what I paid for my Xbox. The game system I've gotten years of enjoyment out of. This is a statue that collects dust, and I might stop and look at on occasion maybe. The face detailing is really well done, but it's just far too much for what you get.

Yep, that's pretty much my perspective.

I was never a fan of statues, well that is sort of a lie. If I had a statue of Tex, or gangsta jesus from saints row the third, I would proudly display it. But the prices for these are just as stunning as the quality of work that goes into them. It is nicely sculpted, but so is the SDCC movie Baroness I got from Hasro.

It was, but that Baroness had a pretty bad set of clothes. The slits up the coat made it look ripped. But I used it as the basis for my Baroness 12" figure and with the right black suit and proper glasses looks about as good as this.

Sideshow's stuff is nice, for the most part, but their prices don't really warrant it. The only reason I own Cobra Commander now is because I found someone selling a brand new one for dirt cheap. My final cost was $63 total for it with shipping. If I could get the others at that price I would, but the $120 or so they usually go for is excessive. These statues are also very, very expensive for what you get, and you basically get a simple polystone statue with clothes on.

I like statues.

not that statue. seems odd that statues used to be sculpted of things people worshiped, and now they're.... Oh wait....

If this had been a 12" figure, it would probably be the first Sideshow figure that I would buy.

I honestly haven't been overly impressed with most of what they have released. But I like this one a lot. You can really see how well they thought through how those boots could function on a real person. Yet, they are very detailed and look just like we already know Baroness.

That is actually where I am usually not happy. I think they either need to stay 100% true to the original or veer enough away from the original that it can retain the character yet feel like something fresh and new. Tossing long sleeves on Storm Shadow or the minor tweaks on Viper don't come across as true to the original nor as something new. It screams to me that they just don't know what they are doing. And at these prices, they really need to hit the ground running with each and every character.

This is clearly one just as we always knew her. I like it a lot.
