All female figs in the line should have the same size neck ball joint. Baroness, Zarana, Scarlett, and Lady Jaye all have disguise as they main specialty so swapping heads is super important for story telling. I'm shocked that they would not even make Baroness swappable with her previous versions. Super disappointing.

@BaldyLockz 10 ай бұрын

Swap ability and universal neck pegs would be huge!! They know we like to customize help us out a bit. They would sell even more figs

@JCC1004 10 ай бұрын

Super disappointed about the Baroness heads not being interchangeable. Had things all planned out to use more of these heads on the older figures, guess not. Personally I'm thrilled to have these. The Joecon Crimson sets were on my want lists for so long and I never ended up getting any. So here now I can. I've always preferred the twins in Crimson so I'm in the opposite boat. I don't need the originals now really. I'll keep them but this is my preferred look.

@BaldyLockz 10 ай бұрын

Well then you are going to love this set so it’s perfect for you. If you want to use the heads on the previous bodies I’d suggest modding the neck pegs rather than the heads.

I was wondering if I could swap the heads of my baroness figures I have the three released in the 6 in at this point. That is disappointing to learn that it’s locked into one iteration of her

It is disappointing that Hasbro is using our love for the updated Baroness to gouge our wallets. However, if the figures are $25 a piece, you're already looking at a $75 base price. So really you're paying $15 for the elaborate box. Did we need the elaborate box? Probably not, but I get why it's at that price range. That said, I am looking forward to a double-jointed, bicep-cut, Baroness. :)

I justified my purchase because I was going to use the other heads with the retro and Cobra Island baroness (especially since my CI Baroness looks wonky) but it's a huge disappointment the heads won't swap. If mine wasn't already on the way I would have cancelled. Not cool hasbro, especially since the twins have nothing new. Super lame.

17:07 now *_that_* is a disappointment. I recall the origins baroness had a different neck peg (or maybe it was a significantly longer neck 🤔). Got an email alert yesterday that pulse was charging my account for that set, so I guess it's only a matter of time before it arrives. Literally bought that fortnite red cat figure yesterday from Ross and left two sets of crimson twins behind. I like your customs of the twins, leaving the shoulders grey. Already got extra twins to put on suit bucks, but maybe other creative color choices to custom paint might be worth picking up more... just finding the time and skill to do so are entirely different issues.

@BaldyLockz about a yeat ago I got a couple of the ML hammerhead on cardback, but unfortunately its peg was too big for a twin head, I also got a couple of basic miz figs, but those have limited articulation. The agent Ross, like that Xavier, seems too small a build for the twins. Odd that now the store *_Ross_* Dress for Less has the crimson twins and the ML carded hammerhead figs for $5.99 each. Maybe shaving down the hammerhead neck peg is the better of solution options. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I pre-ordered this set as soon as it went up, and it looks like I will enjoy it. Right now I'm at 3 Crimson Vipers, and over the next couple of years I do plan to get a full compliment of 12.
