Footloose is coming!

Watcha got?
But they just did PP. They were the other half of the set with Mission Brazil.
I'm hoping for either TF or NF... and if it's NF, we may finally get that NF Falcon, but there's a chance we'll get a better head.
This looks familiar, I feel like I've seen this before but I can't find it on yojoe.com's database. Anyone know what I'm taking about?
Maybe POC/30th figures have me spoiled, but I'm just not that impressed by Footloose. Or maybe it's the character himself. Hell, I don't know. Either way it's not enough for me to get the sub.
I just heard from someone who does a lot of cast work and who spoke with Lanny over at the Club that there is a possibility of the Club swapping the torso out for the Desert Ambush/Dusty/Recondo torso and they're also planning on changing the arms. Apparently the list hasn't been sent to China yet, so the changes can be made to the order for the figure still.
If the Club goes this route, I will be one happy Club Member that will be renewing their membership next year.

The torso itself isn't that bad, although it is a tad more barrel-chested than I'd like. It's those arms, mostly, that kind of suck. They're too long and gorilla-y for the figure.
Changing the arms is the best move.
I love the Dusty torso, but I'm wondering if the webgear fits it. I tried it myself and it doesn't exactly fit without them stretching that Falcon webgear quite a bit.
One other thing I'd do, is make the undershirt gray, tan, or green. Anything but stark white. It just looks off. Did that bug anyone else?

Hmmm... I didn't think about the web gear not fitting. It's possible that they could change it as well. I know I don't want the web gear that Stalker and Snake Eyes came with in the 25th line. Maybe Roadblock's I know that it fits the torso. Then, a knife and pouch would only have to be added. I detest the Sgt. Stone torso though. So, I hope they do change it as a web gear swap at the most wouldn't bother me if they go with one I don't like.
I agree on the undershirt. Seeing as how the first pic is a photoshop mockup and not the real deal, there might be a good chance of it being a different color as well.

That's good that they confirmed it as a PShop mockup. Unless they were planning on making new arms (or tweaked molds, anyways) then that was a bit of a giveaway in the first place. They did a better job on FL this time than on DT, as the Photoshop job looks a lot cleaner and more realistic.
I actually chose that same webgear for my FL, and just added a glued-on holster. Which wouldn't be impossible for them to do, even without having to edit the mold. I'd love for them to glue on the knife from either POC "perfect" SE or the one from the Alley-Vipers, but that's an edit I can make myself. It's just one less thing to do.
I also hate that SE/Stalker/greenshirt webgear. It's about time they retired that sculpt.

yeah, the white undershirt is to BAM! in your face...obviously it's better without it entirely, but toned down would be better if it HAS to be there...
as for the webgear, i don't think there is more perfect exsisting webgear out there...so thats one thing i hope they keep in place
i'd prefer him to be more accurate also CS, but i'm afraid they'll f*@# up what already may be their best kitbash ever...even as off as FL is
Kudos to them. Perhaps they did learn. At least this way, folks get their carded one and one to open without spending a small fortune. I'd be okay if they sold bagged ones as the extras. I couldn't care less if my opener was carded or not.
Thanks for pointing it out Eddie. Now I have to scrub that from my mind. Someone pass the bleach/whiskey mix.
lol...it's like a GIJOE orgy and someone else is pointing it out...
"uh oh guys, FL is coming!"
either that or FL talks in 3rd person, which, in my mind is even funnier since he always seemed kinda dumb in the Sunbow toon and talking like Hulk or Bizzaro or Grundy would seem appropriate...lol

the free figure for people who are club members will be loose yes. but they will laso have some carded figures that will be for sale next spring.
Ah, buttfuck. But the question is, will they produce enough carded ones? I retract my previous praise for the time being.
Will the produce enough and how many extras will they let each person buy? I doubt he will get the same treatment on the secondary market that Pedo Dial is doing but I'm sure it will get a little extra. That is unless people still refuse to join the club.
