who is going to the Canada joe con
- Thread starter xhairs
- Start date
well MW at least a like women unlike you who likes Asian boys. well just wainting on MB and then we will be on our way to the con.
Well, we're here. Going to go down to the early show in a bit. I'll try to update occasionally. They want you to pay for internet after hitting you for $100 a night here. God bless wi fi. I just have to move around and find the best signal. Weak.
Yea, it wasn't too bad honestly. The trip from PA to X's crib took twice as long. Nice drive though. Goes through some cool parts of the two states.
Yea, I have to go through the cards to see who gets what. I see the convention itself has a set up on e bay already. So that means there are 99 sets to get tomorrow unless someone does not get their pre order.

I didn't but they did. That's a story I'll let the man himself tell if he wants. I've had a migraine all day so I had to relax. I could barely eat let alone gets tats in my face. 
I'll just wait until I get home for that. I can make $40 stretch for up to 3 hours there. 
That set just got put up and is already that price. Just imagine what it will go to.

Here's some shots of the convention set. I should have a review up tomorrow hopefully.
Very Cool!
Three of those heads are Slayer head sculpts. Are they like super-customs, or done in a factory?
I think in years past they've used SDS heads as well. But I know for certain 3 of them are, and I have one of them. Weird that they could do that, but I guess if they're only 100 of them, it's within reason...

Yeah, here's 4 of the heads I know for certain. I actually own the Night Creeper leader head:
Red Dude, Row 1, Column 2
Brown Dudes, Row 2, Column 1-2
Black/blue dude, Row 2, Column 4
Teal/black dude, Row 2, column 3
And it looks like those brown snow guards are using a PTE vest, or something similar. They're not Hasbro casts.
The chick looks like a modified pilot Scarlett, or maybe they just used Pilot Scarlett's head... Not sure on the 2 Dreadnok looking dudes, but one looks like he could be a modified Ripper.

Here's a little history on the figures that I could find, in prototype format:
» Prototype pics from JoeCanuck
And higher-res promo pics of the figures:
» Captain Ruin
» Spook
» Valkyrie and Traceroute
» Coyote Troopers x2
» Night Ops and Mudslinger
...and I couldn't dig up the red-headed dude with the blue glasses... I'll see if I can figure out more about them.
From what I read on the JoeCanuck site, SDS casts the heads, and the figures are all dyed. I could be wrong, but I'll update this if I find more. I think it's very interesting the way that they're making these dudes. They've actually gotta be kinda pricy and tedious to make 100 of each of these, but probably cheaper than mass-producing them.

They are all hand made MW. It depends on what they can find for what they make. They just did a question segment and were explaining it. Pretty cool actually. It sounds like it's a pain in the ass though.
Hey Blood when you get a chance, can you give us a Cliff's Notes of the process in choosing/making their exclusive figs? It's got me curious.
They basically have an idea of what they want to do and then they see what they can find that there is too much of for parts. They of course try to stick to the plan but it all depends on what they can find in the stores since it's not made by a factory.
Ah. So it looks like they made this years' from a bunch of leftover Extreme Conditions arctic sets, eh? I bet those could have been acquired fairly cheapish, but 100 of them?
There was a few vendors that had those sets so you could be right. Don't forget time and the dye they use plus heads when thinking of price. I doubt it's a major profit.
Wait, which one is xhairs in those pics? Blood is the dude in the green shirt holding the exclusives, right?
MR YA he has the green shirt and bald head im the one in the black joe hat with the cobra symbol pic lol the one with the lazy eye lmao.
