Aside from the head I don't think anything is from Ashiko or Flash.

I wonder if the Rampages were acquired via Chinese sellers, or if the RHINO is going to be part of the con set.

Although I highly doubt it will happen, if the con set included a repainted RHINO I think I'd faint.

Very cool figure!  I always thought that head mold would look better on a bad guy!  Can't wait to see what his xxxx xxxxx looks like!

If the number of "x"s is intentional, and under the assumption that the head came from Ashiko, I am going to guess that the second word is C-Y-C-L-E with some snake-like name for the first word.

Priceless!

With the Red Cross symbol on the box, he looks like a Joe rescue dog (like a St. Bernard without the brandy). :-)

Thanks for sharing!

A more practical question... what is the target price for this year set (so we can budget a bit)?

CANADA DAY BONUS ANSWER
Due to a HUGE increase in costs for parts, original head castings (to be shown later), etc, plan on a cost of $180 this year for the set (Canadian). We guarantee it'll be worth it, and honestly wish we could do it cheaper. In truth, we should be pricing it higher.

Considering how basic figures nowadays go for $10 at retail (in the U.S.), I am sure the price increase is completely justifiable and compared to the amount of work being put into the set, it will still be considered a bargain. Thanks for the heads up!

it's all on here, if you dig back through the posts.

Since I am pretty new to the message board myself, could you please be a little more specific? Do you mean within the General Joe Talk forum? Since there doesn't seem to be a Fanfic section on Joecanuck. Thanks in advance!

Cool!  I like the head.....believe that is Ashiko.

Now, I wonder what the vehicle will be.....well played!

If the head is Ashiko, I'd assume we could possibly see the Armour Cycle being used as the vehicle, since they'd have to buy a bunch of cycles to obtain enough Ashiko figures. However, with a name like Traction, perhaps we'll see the Armour Cycle used down the road and the HISS Scout used instead this year. HATE Tank Scout, maybe? 

Speculatiing is fun.
