Thumbs down Convention 2008

Was not at all pleased with the convention figures that were released. All it was is just repainted crap!! This is what pisses me off about hasbro. They puke out the same old crap that never selled to begin with with different colors. Could the Eco Warriors be at the 2009 convention. Scuse me while I barf!!!!!!!!

Agreed. Most of the molds have not been used by hasbro since 1993. It was a bold move by the club to give us something like the headhunters. While most people don't like the concept, I think we can agree the figures are good. I know I'm slightly biased since I'm a headhunter fan, but give me a break. It's way better than the 25th style repaints hasbro keeps pumping out.

I'm not a fan of the Headhunters at all. I think I own one, and it was by accident.

But those BATS rock.

Exclamation What???

you Got To Give It A Chance Bro If You Never Had Them And Wanted Them This Is A Great Way To Get A Good Quick Army Build In. The Colors Are'nt That Bad, And New Molds Are Most Likely Never Going To Be In The Con Set Period! They Will Always Be Repaints Imo.

Well, All Mastercollector has to work with is whatever Molds hasbro hasn't lost. I think all in all what they put together this year was pretty nice. I have wanted a Headhunter Stormtrooper for YEARS, but I'm not gonna pay $40.00 each to Army build them.

Let's look at past offerings;

2002 = Crimson Strike team AWESOME!
2003 = Operation Anaconda Eh?!? Crap IMHO (And the only set I DON'T have!)
2004 = Escapades in The Everglades (Dreadnok set) Ok, not great, but OK!
2005 = Mars Atacks AWESOME!!
2006 = Mercenaries Awesome (Minus the Chrome Avenger, Cobra Mortal!)!
2007 = Tanks for the Memories Should be called Tanks, but no Tanks!) Loved the Female doc, Sparks and the night Stalkers, but not enough Army builders! And I have way too many original 13 members.

2008 = Headhunters! About time. I missed a lot of the few good figures they had in 1992-1995!

At Least MC/ the GI Joe Club has an excuse. They are not a very profitable organization. They have to survive on the scraps Hasbro gives them...and I think all in all, they have done pretty good (Except the 2003 set! BLEECH!) Hasbro on the other hand should be ashamed of the crap they put out wave after wave. How many 25th Versions of Duke, Snake eyes, Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander are there already...and we're only up to what? Wave 8? That's inexcusable!

I had those figures with the original paint when they came out in 1993-94 I took all my 90's joes and destroyed them . Wasn't a fan then; nor now. I personally feel, D.E.F , Eco warriors, Star Brigade and Mega marines were the reasons the line stopped selling and Hasbro shut the line down.
