Club Sub 2.0 (GIJCC)

[Mandingo Rex]

FOUR DAYS LEFT TO ORDER FSS2.0!

I've been swamped the last few days with real life and work, and haven't had time to add new pics, but didn't see it posed here or in any of the other off-topic threads.

Card Art:

Head Sculpt Prototype for Keel-Haul:

The card art is dismal at best. Tollbooth's art isn't quite bad (except the center of the face is weird, and the pose is odd) but it doesn't match the aesthetic of the 80's art.

 

[Monkeywrench]

are you buying this one Rex?

 

[Mandingo Rex]

are you buying this one Rex?

Seriously? I have no idea yet...

I likely won't get the last 3 in-hand before time to renew to decide like I wanted, but I'm stupid when it comes to ARAH carded figures...

I haven't bought in yet, though, and there's only 4 days left. Personally, I expect them to extend it, but who knows. You can't expect anything from them anymore, because they're only consistent at being inconsistent. I think they'd be dumb not to extend it one more week, though. But Blackout is lackluster as hell and actually swayed me more against getting the FSS again. I don't care about the character, so he'll likely stay carded. I'd like a casting of his head, though, so if I can acquire one, I'll have no need to open him. And his card art looks like shit. Like, really bad. So that defeats the purpose of having him carded as a "bonus" item. I dunno.

You? Haha.

*By the way, these new emoticons kick ass! Besides Hellion, who else do we have to thank?

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Tollbooth prototype head, not sure how I missed it:

These look really good. I hope it's the same dude/dudes who did Repeater, Topside, HnR, Muskrat, etc. Not sure why they couldn't get them to tool up a head for Iceberg to send it over to the Chinese factory, either.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Yea I'm gonna get it LOL.

Fogger and I are going to split it again. We have divided it up already, both parties are pretty happy with what we're getting. We each have some duds lol. I'm getting the TF guys haha.

We just figured it out so we have actually bought it yet. After I talk with Fogger, I'll prolly buy it tomorrow.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

I really only want right at half yet again, and I want the ones I want to open and keep carded, too. So financially, it'd be silly NOT to get 2 FSS yet again. If I could buy them individually for cost, I'd gladly do that but the Club STILL marks them up almost as bad as BBTS, plus availability is a crap shoot.

I hear ya. No way I'm getting 2 sets though. Fuck that noise. I''m still crossing my fingers that I can grab a CG when she goes up on the store considering she'll be available for 15 seconds. We'll see.

That'd be NSA!

Those two proto heads look phenomenal!...TBs card art is cool in theory, but the execution sucks balls...

Which others had a shop'd on head that needs a reveal?

EDIT: ah, Cespool and, the coolest head, Big Bear...and maybe the covered heads?

 

[Monkeywrench]

at this point, you can't trust anything the club says

Hmm, me gusta!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Tiger Pajama Shipwreck card art. No surprises here...

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

TBs hard hat looks removable, but KHs does not...you guys seeing the same thing?

 

[Monkeywrench]

took the plunge and ordered FSS2

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Fogg woulda been p!ssed had you not

 

[Monkeywrench]

true lol

 

[Mandingo Rex]

I was gonna sit down and order my FSS 2.0 tonight, but came home to this:

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Despite that I got money riding that you will still buy in.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I was gonna sit down and order my FSS 2.0 tonight, but came home to this:

That is EXACTLY what you shoulda sent to the club when you complained...that pic and ONLY that text above...bet they would've fix that sh!t quick

 

[Mandingo Rex]

 

[darthdre758]

Is that a chick?

 

[Videoviper]

Is that a chick?

Yes! (insert at least 5 characters)

 

[K-Tiger]

That isometric profile of Cesspool reminds me of an actor, but damn if I can place it. Some hints of George Macready, but not quite all him.

Gonna make for a great Nazi officer.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I don't know his real name and don't care to look it up...and I never watched the show so it's a surprise that Cespool reminds me of him...but anyway, I think he looks like Data from StarTrek...

It's a real cool sculpt regardless...

Brett Spiner?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I looked him up...yup, the card art reminds me of Brett

 

[K-Tiger]

Not seeing Spiner, but I am getting Guy Pearce.

Definitely gonna have to give some caster money for a Cesspool cast.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Folks over st HT were saying John Lithgow. I can kind of see that.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

More artwork, although it's in the 11th hour to subscribe. (Believe me, I know... I'm still undecided.)

 

[Mandingo Rex]

All the new card art looks extremely awkward, if you ask me.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

BBs sculpt and art look great!...I can't tell if his cap is removable though...

KH looks like a total

 

[NSA]

All I see is him LOL

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

:yawn:

Just wanted to see if those would line up to look super gay...

Also, good call Paul

 

[Monkeywrench]

agreed

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Haha, does look like him.

I think Big Bear's is passable. It looks a lot more like the vintage artwork. The rest looks really strange.

 

[NSA]

From the front yeah, the side shot totally has a Guy Pearce vibe.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

What's wrong with Big Bears art?...I think he looks pretty cool...

 

[NSA]

Keelhaul looks like a bandito!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

What's wrong with Big Bears art?...I think he looks pretty cool...

His is the best of the bunch. It's not quite matching to the old style, but it's the closest. The rest look silly, the way they're posed, plus the line quality is too fine.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Anyone else seeing this or is it just what I want to see?
