Joe Con 2014

[Mandingo Rex]

Don't glue together your Chef figure! I'll pay you $100 for the lot of fresh parts, un-glued!

 

[Monkeywrench]

I am going to Joe Con I also got golden ticket and i am in the costume class. so i will be sending in pics as early as Wednesday night when i pick up my stuff for golden ticket pick up. Hopefully from the comic I will be able to let you guys know what the exclusives are.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

I don't think whatever set is released this year will disappoint me nearly as bad as last year's

Well? How disappoint were you?

And digging through old posts, I caught this:

Customizing Class
Thursday, April 10, 9am-5pm
Want to learn how to customize your G.I. Joe figures? This year we have a very special class in store for you! With the help of our friends John Russell and the team at Boss Fight Studios, we will be teaching you how to create a custom figure using parts that have been created just for this class! When we get closer to the event, we will tell you what parts you need to bring to complete your figure. Who will it be? More to follow later...

In addition, Boss Fight will be demonstrating digital sculpting during the class and at the end of the weekend, you will receive some custom B.A.T. parts that will be designed during the class with direction from the class participants. These will be 3-D printed for you during the convention weekend! It’s a brave new world out there for customizers.
Class is limited to 60 participants. Cost is $75.

Guess they decided to ditch the "design in-class, then 3D print it" option and go for pre-designed bits. It's a little more personal the other way, but probably better quality doing pre-cast items.

Joe Con is right around the corner!

and I don't even care lol.

what is this "joecon" you speak of?

HT is reporting these as the other exclusives:

ECO Force ECO Striker (shown earlier)
Zombie Steel Brigade 3pk
RESCUE Team 2pk
Steel Brigade Pilot with VTOL
Cobra Septic Tank Mk II
G.I.Joe Kre-O 7 pack
Night Force Crazy Legs Parachute Drop figure

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

It gives me so much joy seeing them list stuff that I couldn't care anymore less about...

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

The zombie Steel Brigade is the only thing that sounds remotely interesting. At least there will be a killer customizing class there though!

Unless pics really wow me, the only thing I think I may be interested in are the 2-pack and Steel Brigade pilot, and maaaaybe Crazy Legs if he's carded. I have the NF set, Lady Jaye (carded), Falcon and Chuckles, but I'm missing the chick pilot and Steeler, and I'll be damned if I'll pay the going rates for either of them, so I doubt I'll bother with Chuckles since I don't have all of them anyway.

All the vehicles suck ass, they can keep those eyesores.

Boring!

 

[Goldbug]

the NF Crazylegs will really annoy lots of people

This.

HT is talking about the Rescue Ops 2-pack - looks like one of them is Clutch, based on the comic. There's talk of it being the concept vault one, but that seems unlikely to me.

So far, I've seen nothing of interest at all. And this isn't because I think FunPub is run by monkeys, or because I don't like exclusives, or because I don't like high prices.... I have no interest because everything they're trotting out is terrible. I wouldn't take them if they were free. I would not clutter my shelves or storage unit with a neon yellow/blue AWE striker or toxo-zombies. For the love of pete, these are just plain awful.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Nacho gets it...BARF!

 

[K-Tiger]

Repulsor didn't even get a new head sculpt, just Red Star's


Stolen-ass pics are stolen.

Sho did bring the suck, eh?

 

[NSA]

Terrible con set is terrible.

 

[fogger1138]

Terrible con set is terrible.

Why did these both make me laugh out loud?

 

[NSA]

Why did these both make me laugh out loud?

Either because we're awesome, or you have a brain hemorrhage and need to seek medical attention immediately.

I'd go with the former and hope for the best.

 

[fogger1138]

*twitches*

 

[K-Tiger]

*guffaws*

That ASS striker looks terrible, just TERRIBLE. I thought it was some 1/6th AT PoS at first.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

You MUT assholes get outta the ARAH F.A.G.Con thread!

You're like the log cabin Republicans of toy collecting!

You're gonna tell us that shit looks good, right?

 

[Mandingo Rex]

No, most of it's lackluster and atrocious. But I don't go into the Acid Rain threads and rag on how hideous those figures look, either.

I was mostly joking, it's just funny to me how Blood and other MUTs keep popping in to dig on 'em.

 

[NSA]

Fuck your couch!

 

[K-Tiger]

Fuck your couch!

*chortles*


As a MUT I think these suck donkey dick, but the half-assed MUT figures coming for the 50th are almost as bad.

GAH! I hope someone casts those pieces, especially that damn "CHEF" torso.

The B.A.T. attachments, while silly, are still awesome.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

B.A.T. attachments, while silly, are still awesome.

Yeah, I thought they sounded dumb initially, but they do look cooler and more scifi-y than anticipated...

 

[K-Tiger]

Missing this:

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Agreed! Haha...what would some other good "Baroness' personal BAT" attachments be?

 

[K-Tiger]

Fer serious?

Floppy dildo attachment (translucent purple, natch) and a Sybian back pack rig, for starters. Maybe anal beads? Pneumatic dildo?



As you can see, I'm giving this serious thought. Maybe I can fit that Angel Forge apron to a B.A.T........

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Jumper cable nipple clamps for the seriously sadistic? An automatic paddle?

I like the Sybian back pack the most...BAT just gets down on all fours

 

[K-Tiger]

Exactly! I like that paddle idea. Go well with a cat o' nine tails attachment.
Shit, now I have to go find a B.A.T.
