The Club figures have pretty much always been repaints in some form or another. And they cost so much as it is, I think we're happy to get those rather than have to fork out even more to cover the cost of newly-sculpted parts!

Repaints from the 25th though feel like they're starting to repeat themselves when they've barely got going and there's a much more limited number of characters out there than RAH style has!

I'd assume the likes of the Techno-Viper, Sci-Fi and Predacon are customs too just going by the level of paint detailing. The drybrushing is a bit beyond production-level figures and I've not seen hand-painted prototypes overdo it to that extent either since they'd generally be trying to get across as close an idea as possible to the final intended product.

There are customs made by Hasbro's design team, I take it? Like last year's Alley-Viper, Sgt. Slaughter, etc?

The Dusty design sheet was interesting to see, though -- any more of those about?

There are a few Cobra sets coming out too.

The Winter Pack and the Desert Pack. The Desert Pack is just plain awesome to me.

what has everyone though about the con? for the most part it was good, but we didnt get anywhere as much unknown stuff as i had hoped. some thoughts on some of the stuff.

-the greenshirts suck @$$.

-i like the 7 packs, even though the desert only had 6 in it, lol.

-what sux most is target getting the good stuff while wal-mart only gets 12inch. i dont do the 12 inch(stop there pervs) and the nearest target is 2 hours away.

-not yet sold on the ranking packs, we usually get one or 2 we want, but the 3rd is one we have. ex. the air pack. dont need bill or ace, but ill take starduster although hes no one i ever knew.

-ill take the navel ones.

-the para trooper looks great, the others were so so, but croc master should have been more buff and with much thicker boots.

-im psyched about the cartoon. warren ellis will be writing it and it sounds cool, but im not liking the 10 5 min thing and the long wait we have.

i want the Big Boa, the Bats and Hot-wire!! ;)

I'm looking forward to the Crimson Guard pack and the Desert Squad pack. The Cobra bazooka trooper looks pretty cool and I'l probably get the Rattler.
