Oktober Guard Convention set...

Though they are saying NO 3rd party Joe figures aka BlackMajor figs and so on... IF they are on the floor trying to sell them they'll be confiscated

"Promoter and its designees, including Hasbro, Inc., each reserves the right to ban or deny display of any item for any reason. Promoter and its designees, including Hasbro, Inc., each [color=#FF0080]reserves the right to confiscate any items that violates these rules and regulations[/color]. Exhibitor agrees to permit such confiscation without incident and agrees that all confiscated items shall become the property of Promoter or its designee and may be turned over to the appropriate authorities. Exhibitor herby [sic] waives and all claims against the Promotor [sic] or Hasbro, Inc. with respect to any removal of person or confiscation of items."
So if anyone goes hoping to get casted items or even third party Joe figures then you might not go... this is the WHOLE MasterCollector thing ... BotCon and JoeCon.....

I foresee many backroom deals. :D

I am definitely wanting Oktober Guard characters!

Just in time to screw up more credit card info, awesome.

[troopsofdoom]

Good news, bad news. We're finally getting Oktober Guard but they won't be sold at retail. Looking forward to them though, especially Daina. Hopefully they turn out good.

She'll probably just be Cover Girl/Sparta with a different head. Maybe Lady Jaye's if they can fit a tanker cap over her hair. Still, they did something new for Claymore last year (right?), so anticipating the demand for her, they might give Daina special treatment.

And what do you bet they'll take a Quick Kick head, whip a Wild Bill hat on, and call him "Wong" from the Sunbow cartoon? Ugh. The worst O.G. character hands-down.

Daina is obviously going to be just a repainted Lady Jaye figure with a new head.

Funny many people love Wong because he was a cartoon creation. :D

[Lava Boss]

Fair warning.

But player hating still.

Some folks did stuff you never will. Sour grapes, Hasbro/Masterbater Collector. You gave ARAH fans the brush off and they turned elsewhere.

[Dreadnok Dread]

there all a bunch of aholes and hypocrites! I had a bunch of hasblow reps buying my unlicensed shirts and casted stuff before at cons and they pull this. there scared cause our knockoffs/unlicensed merch is better than anything they can do! wtf! let someone try and confiscate my stuff, I dont primarily shot cobra/bad guy pics cause im a goodie to shoes. i see someone getting there jaw shut if they try an get smart with me! what happened to the good ole days? were it was about the fun and cool someone made some garage kits or what not. its all about money there probably but here cause me and some homie walk out with out pockets bloated while no one was buying there china made crap! oh well, i say we have a knock off/unlicensed merch/garage kits convention! :)

Helix modified.

[roguetiger]

[QUOTE=neapolitan joe]Helix modified.[/QUOTE]

definately NOT Helix modified at all... the head is a new head and the helmet is also new to Joes...and Paris Pursuit SE Legs.....and maybe Lady J DVD pack torso?

[neapolitan joe]

I wrote about the face.

[Lava Boss]

Helmet is new to Joes. I've had it for years, came with an A-Wing pilot. I think there's a reason they show her without it on. It doesn't look good on.

I dunno have you seen it with it on?
It is a new head after all.

[Lava Boss]

Schrage is up. (http://www.gijoecon.com/no2012/con12ogschrage.cfm)

Another new head sculpt.

[turner]

This sucker rocks even more than the Daina. Very nice. So far, the bar is set pretty high! I hope the others continue, these seem less re-imagined and more like accurate (not to their first appearance but to the later time frames).

[roguetiger]

Brekhov is up (http://www.gijoecon.com/no2012/con12ogbrekhov.cfm)

[neapolitan joe]

Without the cygar...sob!
:(

[roguetiger]

Stormavik is up (http://www.gijoecon.com/no2012/con12ogstorma.cfm)

[Lava Boss]

Weird arm and shoulder pads/armor that seem out of place.

[Goldbug]

[QUOTE=Lava Boss]Weird arm and shoulder pads/armor that seem out of place.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I don't like those.

[turner]

Those shoulder armor parts throw the whole thing off, otherwise it would be nice (they need to paint the knee pads brown though).

[Flatline]

Lazy ass repaint :mad:

[roguetiger]

Iron Grenadier is up (http://www.gijoecon.com/no2012/con12igtrooper.cfm)

[Lava Boss]

Looks like some sort of cyborg hooker. That would okay if it were a female trooper, but it's not. Some ideas are better left cancelled.

[Reverend Blood]

I swear, if Darklon ends up being in this set I will spend at least an hour screaming at my computer screen... that is all.

[Goldbug]

They should have really used black instead of brown.

[neapolitan joe]

Not awesome!

[Lava Boss]

Heavy Weapons Iron Grenadier (http://www.gijoecon.com/no2012/con12ighvywpns.cfm)

Okay standing around figure...can't do much else with that coat. Probably would've been better in original IG colors.

The PoC IG was a more combat ready heavy weapons troopers.

Also, Destro should have something more high-tech than RPG's, right?

[neapolitan joe]

Great, but where's the bird!?
;)

Yeah, I understand they can't do hardly anything accurately, but why is there almost never accurate backpacks and weapons and well, birds?

No need for new Oktober Guard.

Its Big Bear after he's been promoted and grown older..... :p

[neapolitan joe]

But PM me first.
Thank You very much.

Horror Show is up (http://www.gijoecon.com/no2012/con12oghorshow.cfm)

[zedhatch]

Horrorshow looks good, that's one out of 12 I guess.

I had missed voltar, weird I like him but in the oddball way, kind of wish the helmet wasn't removeable.

Of these I only see about 3 I want though, another loser set I guess.

[Renegade]

I never bought anything from the collector's club, it's just too overpriced. However, I do think that a lot of these figures look nice, if they were put out for retail price I'd get them. I like Daina and Horrorshow the most. The IGs look good too

[turner]

I'm a big oktober guard fan, but really not impressed with horror show and brekhov at all. The daina and shrage are pretty close to good and the stormavik is about half good. The two ig's with resolute destro bodies and nice, but not worth 23 bucks to me, and it's hard to go wrong with that resolute destro. The general iron bear with modern duke legs is just out of sync with the mythos.
