It looks like a very easy weapon to make in 1/6.

The Baroness' original Weapon looks to be based on the Valmet RK62 also known as the M62 fitted with a scope and a short mag:
I could be wrong. if anyone else has a better match post it.
I don't think anyone has made it in 1:6 scale yet.
that with a scope would be perfect!
Another alternative is the Sig 510-3 or 4:
What do Sideshow's job? It's just easier to buy the modern alternative; the H&K G3KA3 has been made by Dragon and Ultimate Soldier in 1:6 You could also get this Sig Sauer 550 made by In ToyZ:

im refering to comic book and cartoon most of the 3" toys were way off just look at scarlets bull hair cut and manly face

this would be awesome if someone would make this, wonder if mondo would do it wasn't he making 80's repro's in 1/6th scale?
it kinda looks like a russian rifle i saw before

the comic book & cartoon were marketing for the toys... so depending on how you look at it you could say it was the comics & the cartoons that were way off...

Since it's based on the AK-47, it would be easy to just cut the front and back ends off that or an AK-74 and make new ones that look more like the Baroness' weapon.
I'm not going to do it, I prefer something more modern for her like the Sig.

Way off? The figures and card art trump anything from the comics, toons and movies.

Well, I think I can claim to be one of the stupidest Sideshow collectors, I just received my Baroness (From eBay), it took me all of 2 minutes to snap her left lower arm off Anyone else managed to destroy the thing yet? I must say, that elbow joint is REALLY fragile! Also, is there a knack to removing the head? I tried pulling it and the lower neck pulled out before the top ball joint came apart.

Did you head up the head first?

Is that what you're supposed to do? All my other SS GI joes are fairly easy to pull the heads off, this one felt more like I was breaking it?

Its all about the toys/card art... the cartoons were just an advertising campaign. The UK Action Force comics were based on the actu toys... loved the artwork!
Yup, hard to beat the painted artwork of 70's and 80's toys.
I also love how that mullet looking Gung Ho is taking pride in blowing away Cobra Troopers and Major Bludd just grabbed something major on Baroness.

Gung Ho does look maniacally happy 
Looks like Telly Savalas.
It's just a general rule. If it's tight to come off, don't force it. Dunk the head in boiling water(Or heat it up with a hair dryer), and then it will pop on/off easily enough.
Works for hands, feet, necks and boots.
A little heat makes all the parts expand a bit and become less tight.

No worries.
Also, that art reminds me of the toys i had when i was young. I had the Roboskull! And almost all those figures. I played with them till they crumbled.
And more recently, a 2011 Skystriker i reworked into a more accurate F-14.

WTF......Roboskull?

Huh. Never heard about this, kind of cool skull Tie Fighter thing. I would liked to have one of these.
Well, I had two Firebats, so I guess that makes up for it.
BTW, Brilliant paint job on the Skystriker!
