Master Collector has posted the brochure for the '08 Con
and it looks like the RAH theme is Headhunters vs Joe SWAT!

They're stealing mine and Flint's Joeverse storyline!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stormer]

Gah! I haven't even managed to buy LAST year's yet!

It'll be interesting to see how quickly this sells out now it's the only source of non-25th figures outside the Hulk movie line...

[Sonneilon]

AAAAAAH!!! Someone dressed up like Raptor???

That sounds like a pretty cool set. Weren't the HeadHunters part of Headman's lil organization. If so, man, I really shouldn't have kept on saying over on the JBL, "Hasbro should bring back Headman just for the fun of it..." Apparently, SOMEONE was listening. *shudder*

The con sounds pretty neat.

Not sure about this one yet. From the sounds of the characters involved, it will be o-ring figures, unless they have somehow managed to come up with 25th versions of the Headhunters, etc. Even if it is o-ring construction, I was never into the D.E.F./Headhunter thing, so it would have to be pretty special to interest me. Maybe this year I'll pick and choose the best figures, rather than just buy the entire set. :confused:

;) YEAH BOI! I've ben wanting some headhunter Stormtroopers, but at $40.00 a pop on Ebay, Wasn't happening! I may have to buy 3-4 sets of these guys (Thank God I'm so selective buying the 25th....now I have some $$ saved up to work with! )

I'm still debating if I wanna get a second set from last years Con. I'd like to have 12 NightStalkers, but I don't need the extra 7 joes....maybe I could give them away.

This Con sets sounds like the best since 2002's Crimson Strike Team! :o :eek: :cool:

How many people are going to the con? They have a contest for Joe Web sites. Maybe we could put together a team. I wanna go, but I need to make sure I have the $$$.

Now that would be cool, but I think it's a little too far for me to come, Frank! :p ;)
