Which Canuck-Verse Character do you like the most?
« on: April 30, 2010, 01:54:35 PM »

Talking to a pal of mine today and it came up on which character I liked the most from the Canuck-Verse characters.

So, let me know who you like - and why? Also let me know who you like the least - or downright hate.
And, I don't just mean the looks of the character, I mean - overall. The bio, look, etc.

JOE CANUCK
BLACK ICE
SHIVER
TIMBIT
SNOWBANK
CHACAL NOIR
FROSTBACK TROOPER

BACK-STOP not ncluded as he's "technically" owned by Hasbro.  ;-)

...and keep in mind - CHARACTER... Not vehicle. ;-)

I like them all (even snackpack!), but chacal noir maybe the most, the bio is fabulous making him a lower-ranking almost lousy enemy and the parts really work together.  I think Snowbank's got some serious potential to develop.  From last year's comic, sounded like his suit was the prototype for Black Ice's, which sounds like a cool story to know.  The army builder joe canuck rangers are cool.  The civilian Timbit, interesting to me.  These guys need the 25th treatment, which I'm discovering is not an easy task to do faithfully.

figure wise, i like Timbit the least because he has such a fugly head. i like Joe Canuck the most.

otherwise, i like Joe Canuck the most. i love the fact you started off with a generic army-builder-esque figure...

(although i do think the name 'joe canuck' seems vaguely insulting...)

Chacal all the way. I love that he's just a dude doing his job. That Larry Hama guy could go far doing this kind of stuff.

Black Ice, y'all. The name is striking, the figure is fantastic, and he marked a huge leap for the JoeCon.

Snowbank is my favourite character. I could kind of see him as the Master Chief of the Joe Canuck-verse. It was really great of Larry Hama to lend his time to write Snowbank's filecard, too. A blessing.

FROSTBACK TROOPER is the best because you can do anything with this figure! He can have any personality since it is a trooper, there are many of them! It can be changed to fit the story need.  Plus he looks amazing!

Snowbank definitely tops my list. When he was announced, I remember beeing all excited because of the great figure parts he was made of (Techno Viper torso) and that discreet but prestigious Canadian sigle on his torso. I remember going nuts over the artwork when he was first announced on the boards, and beeing the last one to get my hands on the figure at the Convention the year he was the exclusive, I consider this one to be my greatest acquisition. I then fell in love with the bio which totally made me like the figures' suit even more.

Like the most: Snowbank. I think he has a ton of potential, but needs more characterization. The figure looks great- very unique. Great accessories too.
Like the least: Timbit. I guess because he wasn't made from Joe parts I'm biased. Plus he is a little bit of a joke, though I realize that people take their coffee seriously!
Appreciate the most(?): I think Chacal Noir has a great backstory and fits in with 'Canadiana' well. The figure is a little plain, the character a little mundane, but someone I still really like him as a 'Joeverse' piece.

My fave would be Joe Canuck, because he's the original, a cool figure, AND the first custom I ever attempted.  2nd fave would be Snowbank just because I really like the way he looks.  Though if they're ever made an official part of the JC Universe the Canuckleheads could rank pretty high up there! ;D
