Joe Con 2013

[Giga Bread]

Has any figure came with the harness on LL below?...bet it's on one of the Con figures...H&R or CL...whichever one of those dudes is gonna be in the set...

How awesome that his kneepads match the rest of his red AND have the letters on them

Who puts letters on kneepads? I like the non-kneepad FF version more

Hopefully H&R. He never had a vintage NF paint job though, right? I am curious what they do with him, unless it's that cancelled version.

How awesome that his kneepads match the rest of his red AND have the letters on them:

This is about as close as I could get hand-painting it. From this angle it looks crooked, but that's the curve of the pad. From straight-on it looks right.

You need to pop those pockets off and razor out some of the material between them...it looks so much better after

Heck if rhino...you know I don't give a rats puhtoot about subgroups

 

[MMorelock66]

I would think that Hasbro is going to use the canceled 30th HR, but for some reason I would find it comical of they used the shitty 25th base.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Well I went ahead and made a deal to get a Bagged set for the Con. Assuming he doesn't get hood winked by the registration and they don't sell out in 40 seconds like last year.

I figure that even if I'm disappointed in the set, I can always turn around and trade/sell to somebody who really wants it.

 

[WVMojo]

Images of the Frag are up...not digging it at all. Look at those shitty Comic Pack Snake eyes Legs. Way too skinny.

 

[XOC2008]

Oh God, my eyes!

 

[WVMojo]

Oh God, my eyes!

I know right...we're back to 1994 with that nasty ass Neon Green.

And WTF - I hope it's night Force and Not Neon Force.

 

[XOC2008]

And Cobra Mortal should have just used the entirety of POC wv 3 SE.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Letal just looks silly, and I don't care about that Mortal. But the frag looks better than I expected, to be honest.

Looks like spandex leggings and hightops though.

 

[MMorelock66]

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth over that. If the joes are that bright, I will not be ordering this.

 

[WVMojo]

Archer would be shitting a brick with a white tactical turtle neck and Stirrup pants.

This is all I see when looking at that Mortal...but without the hotness.

 

[Giga Bread]

Frag and Letal are made from the ultimate SE right?

 

[XOC2008]

Frag and Letal are made from the ultimate SE right?

You know, they might be. Looks that way.

 

[Giga Bread]

Well, these are easy passes. I like my version of Frag Viper more than these anyways.

 

[XOC2008]

Seeing these.. it makes me scared to see what they did to the SAW Vipers.

 

[Dr Syn]

I like'em enough to look forward to seeing ppl's dios with them.

My sentiments exactly...that leg/boot combo...weird...looks like the microman catwomans boots/legs

 

[Cloud Strife]

Now I'm scared to see what the Joes are going to look like. Hopefully, 2dtoys did their headsculpts. As long as I can get casts of them, I can make figures I'd be far more happy with than the club.

 

[MMorelock66]

They definitely are. The ankle cuffs on the 25th ones were more spaced out.

 

[NSA]

Holy shit, those are horrid!

 

[fogger1138]

Don't really hate the Mortal, don't love it either - if only the legs were better. The other two I'd be selling off if I get the set, particularly neon green Letal.

Good luck with selling neon green Letal.

Seriously, is there a place where I can submit an application just to design these shitty figures. I know they would care for all of the crazy shit I do but at least I can get better colors.

I think I could tell that the Joes are using a bunch of Retaliation parts. I know a couple of those drawings had that first SE's legs.

Yeah, I noticed Repeater is a wave 2 Roadblock with a Night Adder vest, H&R looks to be the vault tooling, Charbroil is the Retaliation Joe Trooper. Repeater and Charbroil will undoubtedly have new head sculps, as well as Muskrat, but I'm having a difficult time figuring out Muskrat's recipe...

I have a feeling I can dump him at Hisstank.

My sentiments exactly.

Wow, not even the Oktober Guard were worth three hundred smackers in my mind, never mind what ever the hell this crap is. What is it with the sudden attempts to revive the neon 1990's? First we got the over-sized rocket treatment in ROC, and then more rockets and brightly painted Retaliation figures, and now this! I shudder to think what the post-movie line will look like now.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I'm not sure which SE you guys think ultimate SE is, but it's not that one...the USE is the PoC version...the Frag and Letal are based on that toon accurate one in that five pack...

Also, it sounds like you guys have seen some other figures...where are the pics or links?

 

[Mswi]

I have a feeling I can dump him at Hisstank.

If the actual figure looked more like the cardart, you wouldn't have to go there/ I have an affinity for the neon gaudy bastards, think the club actually got the colors right (maybe too glossy though), but the figures themselves suck monkey nuts!

 

[fogger1138]

I'm not sure which SE you guys think ultimate SE is, but it's not that one...the USE is the PoC version...the Frag and Letal are based on that toon accurate one in that five pack...

There's an upcoming, cartoon-accurate Snake Eyes that Hasbo has labeled "Ultimate". They're talking about that one, not the one fans have labeled as "Ultimate".

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I guess that's close enough...sad though...that Xamot/Tomax sash looks so stupid at the shoulder (seen on Letal)...

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Ah, I see now...stupid Hasbro labeling figs as ultimate, especially when they most definitely are not

...

I'm going by the B&W concept art posted on his stank.

from this one Eddie from the 2nd wave of upcoming retaliation three packs

Not the POC "Ultimate" Snake Eyes, but the official Hasbro "Ultimate" Snake Eyes has yet to be released, but was shown last year and is suppose to be released this year as part of the Retaliation line. Like mswi mentioned to me though, I think that torso is better suited for Torpedo.

 

[Giga Bread]

I thought that's the single pack one. I thought the 3pack one will have a pre existing SE only with the cancelled jungle SS gear.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Lol...we all need to get on the same page

 

[Mswi]

yeah your right the poc se with the cancelled SS gear is in the three pack, I may be mistaken but I thought ai saw apic of a three pack with this SE in it
