Some 22 years later they are finally making a Big Lob figure. lol Kinda neat I guess, the vintage figure that never was. And wow does Mercer's head look weird like that and note the painted lips... http://gijoeclub.com/clubexclusives10.cfm#biglob __________________

I'm not in the club so if I have the opportunity I might try to snag him. __________________ My Flickr Page "It was long ago, and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today."

If the free membership figure goes 25th as well next year, I'll be saving my money. __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".

I mean, look what happened to the Adventure Team sets, first RAH, now 25th...if they make them. (Don't hold your breath.) I'd gladly pay $5 for that Big Lob....which means I will never own one.

There were plenty of heads that could have fit the bill better, even Red Dog. __________________ http://www.zedsjoesite.com Home Scale Wars updated Mon-Fri Every Week

I agree, the Mercer's head is terrific: what a shame.
They'd use a new head.
The Gung Ho arms were used for Slaughter exclusive too.
