I'm a little confused about this idea that she should be shorter? Is this because of the cartoon?
I've been collecting sideshow since Jedi Luke, so I know the progression of the bodies. My point is that she doesn't look freakishly tall like some are complaining about unless you stand her next to the few figures that used the smaller prometheus buck (and for some reason still have them on that buck : ). By those standards the Viper is freakishly tall. I think she looks like she is close to 6' and fits in well with the other figures that have the taller bodies. She is essentially the same height.
I think sometimes complaints like these are overdone and I wanted to provide a little different opinion to anyone who was reading and now worried that the Baroness was freakishly tall.
In the end, I have not been interested in what Sideshow has done with GI Joe for awhile but, I think this figure (and CC v2) turned out well and any collector of sideshow joes would regret missing out on her.
I have a feeling Destro will turn out better than expected too (although, I still hate that stupid raised eyebrow expression).
