Joe Con 2013

Question for anyone attending the con. It's been hinted it'll have a Flint in the exclusive 2 pack. Which judging by the revealed stuff, it'll be using the Concept version. If that's the case, will someone be able to pick it up for yours truly?
Hold on you! You can eBay it for $3600 like the rest of us non-attending beggars!
Flints and Lady Jayes should not be exclusives. And besides, Flint's fucking get-up is already Night-Force in deco. So anything they do to him short of giving him black pants and camo all over his arms and face is going to make him "Just Regular Flint Along for the Ride" Flint.
Medd, Medd, Medd. Do you realize what you're saying?
You can make that Flint for less than what the Con is charging, AND what eBay would have him for.
Don't worry, Flint's going to be in a Night Force scheme like LJ. I don't they can pull it off, but if the pulled off this

That would pretty awesome.

I actually like the LJ, torso aside. I never did like the boobage shirt, just seemed silly. (I do like boobage, it just doesn't work for LJ... Cover Girl, on the other hand...)
I am not willing to pay $200 for a Lady Jaye though, even if it looks that good. This will be the first ARAH carded figure the Club has produced that I will not buy though, especially since I want one to open, too.
Why in fuck's name did they go with a carded figure this year that isn't the membership figure? Just to be dicks? If they had her bagged, that'd be one thing, but come on, assholes. Nobody's even brought that up, yet, and I've been following all the bitching at HT.

I have to take breaks, myself. There's still some good folks over there still stuck in the Matrix and totally unaware of it, but all the dipshits ruin it for the good ones.
They really are narrowing their fan base with these new high price practices at both conventions AND retail...not to mention they are making A LOT of sh!t no one wants...at least not badly enough to pay premium prices for...
I'm kinda relieved to see so much crap (IMO) coming from Hasbro/GIJCC...saves me a ton of money...

Did anyone ever confirm the "Vendor Exclusive" nature of Lady Jaye? Can regular folks buy it direct from the Club (at the very least, at the Convention), or do you literally have to buy her from asshat vendors at JoeCon? Because if it's the latter, then goddamn have they sunken to new levels of scalper-feeding douchebaggery.
Are they really doing that? Is it to attract vendors? Throwing them a bone so they can pay for their booths by scalping exclusive carded figures? It's so absurd that I want to believe that it's not true. Even the club isn't that evil. Are they? I think I would laugh my ass off.
NF-LJ and Iceberg will be the first carded joes that I just don't bother with. The club has officially broken me from giving a damn.

I think they believe they're more important than they really are. It started awhile ago, but went into full gear with those damn shitty FSS figs.
Nacho-
Not sure. Everyone was calling it a "Vendor Exclusive" last night, and a few people commented on it but nobody got any clarification. Of course the HT guys got their hands on it, but if I was Hasbro or The Club, I'd make sure the biggest Joe fan site got their mitts on a copy to review, too.
But if that is the case, then it's a total dickbag move. I'm talking, all new levels of shitty.

This is what the whole damn NF set should of looked like.
Anybody think that Beachhead will be included in the Con stuff also? He had a decent NF figure also.
They already made that Night Force (or a close enough equivalent) version of Beachhead in the ROC line.

I don't like that Flint, the camo on the pants are cheesy, and GOD WITH THE LOGOS ON THE SECRET JOE TEAM! Come on, guys, stop that!

That is a poor excuse for Beachhead!
I think if they did that Flint, he would (hopefully) have the Retaliation Lady Jaye type of Digi Camo. Just in gray and black.
I like the line work on that Flint. It's kind of the inspiration for my SE I'm working on. I don't necessarily care for the light grey, but that NF set color scheme is a 100x better than the ARAH accurate set they're pushing out.
I know they aren't doing this anyways. It will probably be a black shirt with either tealish pants to match LJ, or it will be a mash up of Flint and NF Falcon.

(my wayward son!)
My guess on construction for Flint?
Head- same as vault
Arms- ret Colton
Torso- firefly-same as vault
Legs- PoC SE.
Otherwise, it will be almost the same as Hit&Fail and I don't think they'll do that.

So, based off comments made at HT, and the fact that Kokomo Toys was the first to leak that pic that's on HT (and the same image that's apparently mirrored all over the Joe sites) it would not surprise me in the LEAST now if the Club actually made a vendor-only Exclusive that they could in turn flip for max dollars. I hope it's not the case, but even if I was able to buy the Con-only carded figure from a regular old attendee-scalper on eBay (like with Dial-Tone or Footloose, and I assume Iceberg as well) that it would likely be out of the realm of my tolerance to consider buying it... But with an added level of inflated costs? Fuck. That.

All ARAH inspired JOES have moved to being overpriced halfa$$ed attempts...I don't think there's any other ARAH updates I NEED...a prefect Frostbite would be the only one I NEED, but we all know its either unlikely or will be $$$$$$$...
F*@# the club AND Hasbro!...I'm washing my hands of JOE...Im done...I'm putting this here because I'm too proud to go back on my word...I'm not one of those douches that makes these claims then bends over later...its been building for a while...ive reached my tipping point...DONE!...
roposetoast:
I really want to know why a family oriented site like the tank would show an up close camel toe for a publicity photo?
I really don't understand what's important about that photo except the camel toe.

I guess the LJ is available at the "Club Store" (at the convention) so maybe it is for regular attendees? Still stupid why they were calling it a "vendor" exclusive, whatever the fuck that is.
IB looks mediocre at best. I've never seen a black person with flesh that color. What is with them and flesh tones?
