Original Announcement and Product Info
Product Description
Baron Bends, ancient, lone warlord of the cosmic realm and last remaining Aqua-Knight. Now a galactic nomad, the Baron searches time and space on a holy quest known only to him.
Baron has traveled to the unexplored depths of ocean in an effort to stay hidden from The Krig – merciless hunters who seek to eradicate the Aqua Knights. In doing so, Baron and his Aquaticons have absorbed energy from the earth’s core. Emerging from the ocean floor is the Tectonic Disruptor – strong enough to take on the Blood Force solo.
The One:12 Collective Baron Bends: Tectonic Disruptor Edition wears enhanced Tangaroanian Armor, infused with molten lava from the earth’s core. This hi-nanotech armor of the Aqua-Knights is capable of withstanding any atmospheric condition as well as creating an incredibly strong protective skin. Baron comes complete with 4 head portraits, including 2 head portraits revealing the man behind the mask.
Baron is well-equipped to take on The Krig, wielding his Omni-Glaive, furnished with a novablade capable of cutting through practically anything. Baron is the keeper of the Weigh of Woes, a gilded anchor-shaped weapon forged from the underwater volcanic furnaces of his stronghold planetoid and infused with negatite. The Weigh of Woes harnesses immense powers bestowed upon it by The Order of The Holy Divers many a millennia ago.
Baron Bends is accompanied by the Aquaticons - his trusty, elite troop that receive commands telepathically from the technology in his helmet.
