You're all going to have to wait to read his bio and see his file card.
Those that picked up the 'JoeCanuck' figure at the meet two years ago know how good the file card will turn out. ;-)
Opinions? Thoughts?
Keep in mind, he's limited to 30. I'll know within the next few weeks if I'll be doing a 'pre-order' on him, or if he'll only be available at the door.
Give me some thoughts on that as well!
Mike

I like the name, it fits the figure quite well. What's his specialty?
And I'm just curious, how many copies of Joe Canuck were made, btw?

I'm not too keen on having the oversized G-36 as a weapon, but other than that it's pretty awesome.
Well good thing you're not him then!

21 in total.
20 'bagged' versions, and one MOC version.

Would you rather have Hit & Run's rifle?

I was just throwing it out there as I am supplying some of accessories. Hit & Run's rifle is one of the few accessories considered, since I bought close to 30 packs of Comic 5 (http://http://yojoe.com/action/04/cardedimages/comicpack5.shtml).

Looks really nice Mike. Makes me wish i wasn't on the other side of the country. ;)
Apparently that's no excuse this year as we have what?... 4 people coming from Montreal, and at least three people coming from the U.S.
Get on a plane you wimp! ;-)
Seriously, join us!

To clear things up, there were 21 Joe Canuck figures and there's going to be 30 Black Ice figures for the next meet.
Ah yes, my bad.
30 it is.
Carry on. Nothing to see here..

If it was within a days drive I would be there for the figure alone, not to mention a little GI Joe comraderie.

That looks really good Mike (and crew). It will have a front row spot on my shelf, just like Joe Canuck.

Hmmm, looks like Raptors been playing with the rit dye again.

That would be me playing with the Rit Dye my man.... I breathed in enough of it.... and didn't open a window.
Raps helped me come up with the idea (and supplied the legs/arms), Loop did the artwork, Pete is supplying the weapons, Void (from JoeCustoms) did the casting, I'm assembling it, painting it, and doing the bio & printing of the Filecard.
Not to mention bagging each one.... oh, and a 'new' thing that I did yesterday..... each one will be numbered. I'm getting #1, just so you all know. ;-)

My first thought was to just pull them at random out of a bag.

Honestly, that's such a minor concern of mine right now I won't know until that day.

Mike
and that's a good thought indeed.
Really, with a low run like 30 figures, other than "#1", does the number really matter at all?

Loop is purely amazing, and I encourage all of you to email him to do some work for you! (And Pay him..... ALOT!)
I did the filecard today, and I'm SO digging this guy even more than before!
Thanks.

For those keeping up with things, Loop has supplied me the final artwork for the Black Ice figue Filecard.

I already have. He did the cover of my play's programs.
Loop, I love your shading. You're improving as an artist with every new piece you unveil. But, I think we've all seen Empire Records. Where's the speed, Loop? That junk's gonna screw you up!
