Eh, not doubting you on this being the rumor, but it's random enough that it could be right, although I'm not going to get too excited or upset yet as there are some questionable choices as well. That list would be simply "okay" for me, although about 1/3 are extremely lackluster as hell. Nothing to get excited about besides maybe Cover-Girl or Big Boa. Maybe Dice. Jinx and Topside are on my want list, but not from the "Repainty McFrankenJoe" guys at GIJCC. Some figs they can do well. I don't have high hopes for most of the list.
Covergirl is a no-brainer. Expected, and done. I'd have thought that Footloose should be done up-front in the subscription, so maybe he's either the 13th figure, or the 2012 GIJCC figure... All I know is, they need to cash in on him quick, plus I really want him. The tooling's all there, and he'd be a great addition to the 25th lineup.
Without additional tooling, Slice seems more plausible than Dice as he could be made from a Red Ninja/SS body, but I guess a close enough facsimile could be made from a Storm Shadow for Dice... I think Dice at least needs new webgear, but they'd probably just reuse something from a previous figure. It's weird they'd do Dice w/o Slice, but maybe the other's coming later, or is the 13th figure?
Big Boa I can see, kit-bashed from Resolute Roadblock with a new head and boxing gloves from Quick Kick, but that webgear would be tough... The X-shaped harness from Duke/HnR?
Jinx, I just don't see. She will either need almost all-new tooling, or she'll suck horribly. I was hoping for her in the JOE2 line. Topside would be cool, but I can't see what parts they'd use for him to look remotely accurate,
or good at all.
I don't give a damn about the rest. Barrel Roll, meh. New sculpt crap. TNT sounds awful, Tan Grunt would probably just reuse Zap's new parts (or entire mold), but I already have a mediocre Grunt, and a tan remold isn't gonna make him fill the O13 slot any better. Iron Klaw? Fuck off. That Surefire guy actually looks kinda cool, but I couldn't care less about the character. Of the "Don't Care" guys listed above, I'd be most excited about him.
Again, this is all speculation, so until we hear a final list, I'm not gonna get my panties twisted (in excitement or anguish). I'd probably go with a subscription based off that list, but I'd be less than happy about probably half of them. I'm hoping it's not the list, as I don't care about a good deal of them, and I don't think they can pull off the majority of the others.
