NICE!!    :o   The bits of the filecard I can read sound cool, the codename actually being in French is an awesome touch, and the figure looks great!   

(Excellent work salvaging the cut wrist articulation and making it look like there's pullover sleeves above the swivel.  It looked awkward on Duke and everyone else that had flesh painted above and below the cut, but the gray sticking out from under the sleeve roll here totally works!)

hell yes, this is just awesome!

Wow!  That's the most creative use of those dreaded Duke arms I've ever seen - great work to all those who are putting this project together.

I did plan to attened the convention pretty early (lined up for 45 mins last year) and I kinda got scared when people in another thread were talking about camping out overnight and such, but hell if the convention set is going to be THIS promising I might haul my butt outta bed at 5AM and do the 1-1.5 hour drive to Hamilton just to be in the line.

if the black jackal here is a tank stripper, it would beg the question "is there a tank for him to strip?" *nudge* *nudge*

Taking wife to Montreal for b'day surprise at the end of May, I'm going to have to see how I can save at least two bills for "other" purposes now...

Well, you've already SEEN a Joe tank...

Would it make any sense for him to strip a Cobra one?

And he IS holding part of an Armadillo in his hand....

The Armadillo is a tank, yes? ;-)

Well if this con set can resolve the gross overstock of Air Chariot/Armadillo packs plauging Canadian retailer shelves then I'm all for tank stripping!!!

Awesome figure!  Great use of Steeler's body and Serpentor's head.  I'm figuring Back-stop's helmet is a reworking of Sepentor's helmet.  No the two nagging questions are; what will the Air Chariot become--maybe a jet pack and what the heck is the 5th exclusive?

Umm... The Air Chariot isn't one of them. Try as we might, even we couldn't come up with something for that chunk of crap.  :lol:

Glad to see another Larry Hama file card!! ...any chance that he may appear again, or is he too busy with the release of the movie coming up?  ...and who came up with the name?

Larry unfortunately isn't able to make it this year. I had hoped any movie commitments he had wouldn't get in the way of coming up here, but with those, and his comics that he's working on, I didn't see a high chance of him attending this year. So we're working on a couple of other guests. I hope to have news on those this weekl.

Larry came up with the name and the full bio - which had to be trimmed down for the file card but will be available to read in full at the Convention.

What about using the Chariots for a Vehicle customising class? or even for the "special vehicle" like the "snow plow" from a few years back (you know where the misc parts where thre in the bag)?  :-  It could be interesting eaither way...

It is really well done... I mean:

File name: Scrap?re (with the accent on the e  ;D) is also a reference to "scraper". The guy is taking an Armadillo to a pile of scrap.

Birth place: St. Felicen (exact spelling is St-F?licien :wink:) is well known for his wildlife zoo (http://http://www.zoosauvage.com/page.php/en/1/1.html). What a nice place for a Chacal (Jackal): http://www.zoosauvage.com/page.php/en/1/46.html (http://http://www.zoosauvage.com/page.php/en/1/46.html)

Who said we can't learn while playing with GI Joes...?  ;D

Looks great! So will these all come in baggies? I guess card backs and bubbles would be a bit complicated for a convention. If there are no boxes for the vehicles I might have to get into photoshop and make my own!  :cobra:
