This guy does not look like an Iron Bear.....more like Drago in a hoodie.  It is okay, but not what I expected.

Still getting the set though.

Is that a microphone on his hand?  Don't get that.  Maybe it will be covered in the filecard.

it's a baton, like a swagger stick.

emags, the first series of Action Force was a series of 3 3/4in scale Action Man figures essentially. generic soldiers, sailors and airmen based on different 12in AM figure outfits. these were again 5-point artic figures and many were redeco'd to create the series 2 figures, some times with parts swapped about or with new headsculpts. see www.bloodforthebaron.com for the complete history of AF.

Thanks, Sundance, I'll check that out.  That, and I am repeating myself, is the best part of this hobby....you always find out something new and interesting about the Joe-verse.

Sundance, here's a question, I'm sure you will know.....Is Agent Natalie Poole really part of the mythos.  Thought she was an Action - Man character that was carted over for the 2010 convention......for some reason she does not feel like the moral equivalent of say Blades, Jammer or Gaucho.

Thanks!

[Sundance]

yes, she was part of the 1990s 'extreme' Action Man mythos. AM himself was part of a Night Force set from 2002 (i think). her only connection to Action Force outside the con-set is that Hasbro or licensees some times used the name 'Action Force' for AM and his cadre of mates in the 'toon or the comics. Characters who include a Native American named 'Red Wolf', which annoyed me no end when i saw him in a toy-store. i was like, "wait, what? Red Wolf's a bad guy!"

Iron Bear didn't turn out to be what I thought and is a bit disappointing.

Yeah, and I think it's Brian Savage's face on that figure. That really upset me if that's the case. The price has gone way up, they complain about the cost to make all these new molds and then remove one of the original team to put one of their own in the set and pass the cost on to us.

I actually like the Iron Bear figure. 

I wonder what a head swap for Brekhov and Iron Bear would look like.

[Emags]

If that's Savage's face, that is an epic fail.  I'm okay with a new character, though don't think we necessarily need one, but does it have to be a love letter to an employee of the club.  If that's true, that's weak.

Horrow Show came out earlier tonight.  I like the head sculpt, but the body does not scream Horrow Show.  I don't want to sound negative, but I have seriously better customs of him.

[Emags]

Do we know who Iron Bear's face is based on yet?  I think the club said it is not based on an employee.
