Joe Con 2015

Three things...
Lack of articlated wrists is lazy, Dial-tones fucked up painted knee pads, and the General Mayhem skin tone is awful.
EDIT - Fourth thing...pretty cool they are giving it away for free. And they didn't even need my SSN or credit card number.

he is all about those bricks, all about the bricks, all about the bricks. :trollface:
I'm not knocking the kit, but a brighter idea would have been doing something that was, I don't know, related to the con theme. How to paint Tiger Force or IG colors would have been helpful to more than a few and having a unique character (or one the club didn't do) that fit with the theme would have been smarter.
We have no idea what characters the club is doing until everyone else does. It would be pretty shitty if we put in a bunch of work in and either the figure was a yet to be revealed exclusive, or the club just doesn't approve it.
I guess I should have said original character. Customizing is about making something new or fixing something that already has been done. Being a new and original idea wouldn't interfere with the club at all. The emphasis in a customizing class should be more on techniques and materials anyway. But tying it all in with the con theme would have been really cool.
"Bonus" Exclusives seem to be TF Alpine, Frostbite, and SkyStriker. A pair of Red and Gold "Annihilators", vehicles are a TF painted Tomahawk, Retaliation Moccasin/Tiger Shark (with the big launcher) and Tiger Sting. Drivers are Felino for the Tiger Shark and Sgt Katzenbogen for the Tiger Sting.
I would've preferred that the goggles were molded on. And the webgear seems a tad... Saggy? But the new parts look good. I hope they use different lower legs on the regular version, though.
No surprises here yet...
Wonder if the "Land and Air" reference has something to do with the RoC Rhino?

Yeah, HAVOC was the first thing that came to mind.
And while I'm not against fantasy vehicles in my Joeverse, that has to be the worst design ever. Exposed drivers in a HUGE glass canopy. And imagine the first time they fire those big dual guns on extend-o arms... the exposed la-z-boy gunner would get thrown into the next county like a rhinestone cowboy. It's sad when the guy riding the giant oscillating fans has the safest job...

It's not bad, but I'm also not terribly impressed with the parts selection. As usual, there are much better, more accurate parts already available in their parts library. I hope they pick new parts for the eventual V1 version.
Although, I also hope they don't even make a V1 as it'll of course be an overpriced exclusive. Heaven forbid there are less overpriced Joes on store shelves.
I guess Hasbro COULD unveil him in the 50th-ish shit for 2015? A reissue of the Snowcat in proper, unmarbled plastic would work as an easy reuse of that mold. And the Club got first crack at the Lady Jaye sculpt so who knows? It doesn't technically have to be the 13th figure.
Could just be a red herring.

So anyways, I got to the border and realized I forgot my box of customs. I had to have them overnighted to my hotel.
Totally got Ventura'd.
Took me all morning to fix my contest entries and didn't get them done in time.

Maybe. But I'm betting 13th FSS 3.0 fig, or part of FSS 4.0. Wouldn't be surprised to see them discontinue 4" Joes in store altogether and leave them to the club and move to 6" Joes on store shelves. Seems like it's become a popular scale.
Doubt that, at least until after this year. I don't know about anyone else, but 6" Black series are warming pegs everywhere around here. I don't think 6" Joes would be the "wild" success the 25th line was.
Joe will be 4", 2-and-3 packs at TrU, just like last year. We'll know for sure tomorrow evening.

Check this place frequently. They had a 3D printer for less than $500 and a 3D scanner for $350 on clearance. They usually have pretty good deals on things.
Blah. It would take something might fine to get me to bother with the SDCC exclusive this year and/or a new line.
