Joe Con 2014

[Mandingo Rex]

While your assessment of TTT wins you immunity, I do have to put on my HT pants and remind that Hasbro and The GIJCClub are connected but not synonymous. If The Club is making them, that means Big H gave them the greenlight but isn't exactly making them.

 

[fogger1138]

I was going to make the same point, sans pants.


HT pants, that is, I'm still wearing mine.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

And let's face it, they're more jorts than true pants.

Posted on der book of der face:

We are getting questions about the 3 3/4" Joseph Colton figure for GIJoeCon.

"I see that there is a 3 3/4â€￾ Joseph Colton that comes with the General’s Package (with the club display stand system). I’m a 3 3/4â€￾ collector and don’t want to purchase the 12â€￾ set just to get this loose figure. Are there any plans to make this figure available to other attendees?"

Yes! We will be carding a number of these same figures (no display stand or backdrop) for our 3 3/4â€￾ attendees to have access to this figure.

This was left out of the brochure accidentally. We hope that answers everyone's questions.

Might get a set to review, and then sell all the Joes and keep the Cobras.

 

[K-Tiger]

Might be interadasted in a Colton, IF he's sufficiently true to or surpasses the '94 one.

I heard a rumor that TTT is doing all the zombie sculpts.

Asks himself, "is this a zombie set, or the attack of metal munching Dino set?"

 

[Monkeywrench]

I have a feeling it will be even harder to get the Colton now.

How much is this carded figure going to cost? $50?

too much. I bought one at Target for $10. I am sure any of the older ones could be found for a better pricethen what that worthless club will produce.

MRs and all of HTs response to the above price

25th Dusty body with Ret Colton arms, or something similar, in OD. With Ren Falcon head and beret is my guess.

 

[Giga Bread]

But is that Colton or General FlAGG?

Man, I've been saving all year. I bet I'll still be short.

Basically this without the camo. It's pretty accurate uniform wise to the '94 figure.

 

[Giga Bread]

I had to look it up. I was out of collecting back then. I assumed they would go with the comic version because I didn't know about this figure actually being Colton.

Bearded Colton with a beret would be pretty cool too.

new Cobra Commander voice actor is going to be a guest
so that means

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Eehhhh… maybe, but I don't think he's that big of a draw. But maybe he'd be treated like the silly Mickey Mouse CC from a year or 2 back? What year was that?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Is the only difference a zombified head?...big deal...

 

[XOC2008]

Is the only difference a zombified head?...big deal...

Pretty much, yes.

 

[Monkeywrench]

good call GB!

I bet that will happen. That is one figure I will pass on no matter what. I have 60 CC's already and I'll be damned if I get a overpriced one. Fuck That!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

But but, he's got a zombie head!!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

There was nothing cool about that zombie CC that had anything to do with it being a zombie… The thing that excited me (and I imagine most people) is that it was an all-new body, so I think the excitement was around that. We all can have it by now thanks to the Retaliation Ghost Waves of 3-4.

I'd rather have a snake-head CC from the movie, if we're going to do some silly mutant CC, than a zombie one that doesn't make much sense in the overall storyline.

 

[Monkeywrench]

But but, he's got a zombie head!!

Then he should be at least $50... right?

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Then he should be at least $50... right?

Isn't that what HTers have caused the ZV to go for? That was a retail item! I bet a zombie CC will be $200 or higher.

 

[Monkeywrench]

mother fuckers

Heck yes!!

Why you low balling bro?

 

[Monkeywrench]

well I didn't figure in the ridiculous shipping and bubble prices

One of the FAQ that was asked on the Joecon site. Can't wait to see these modern military updates to the set.

Question: Will the 3 3/4-inch Eco Force/Warrior figures have a gimmick like neon color-changing plastic or water shooting weapons?
Answer: No, the 3 3/4-inch convention figures are modern military updates and not Environmental Warriors. The set features E.C.O. as an acronym for the Emergency Chemical Operations Force.

 

[MMorelock66]

Hmmmm... have they actually been listening to us?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Count me as extremely skeptical

I think they only listen to HTers. :trollface:

First of the figure samples were teased by the Club on Twitter to be shown later today. I'll post pics as they become available.

 

[MMorelock66]

Anyone prepped for neon hell?

 

[NSA]

Meh..

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Meh is right:
