not bad....lose the shoulder armour and I'd be okay with it. Given the chance I'd change Voltar's colour to something else and I think I'd like it more. I do like the head sculpt though and would like to see an image with him wearing his helmet.

at least it's not a freaking Destro figure, right?

Voltar looks surprisingly good considering the body used. The helmet's very nice, but I think he would look more consistent with the IGs if he had boots.

The Club just put up the brochure.  Apparently, Dragonski is out, Horrow Show is in and there is a new character on the OG team.

No word on the 2 or 3 packs, if any.  Though, I'm not 100% sure if those get announced before the convention.  I think they don't.

The 2009 Int'l packs were sweet, but not so much last year.

Voltar looks good, not a fan of the weapon though, can never get those bullpup rifles to be held right...

the attendee exclusive stuff is never announed until the Con is on. or at least, that's my experience of following the con announcements in '09, '10 and '11. cuz i was over at BFTB for the '09 one when someone started creaming his pants that it was going to be Red Shadows and then of course it turned out it was Crimson Strike Team and then of course you had Blades and the Hawk in the one attendee set. then i was following it more closely the last two years with the Red Shadow set and the Python Patrol stuff.

I understand Hasbro requires the Club to have at least 1 Joe fig in the convention sets.  Since the full set is OG vs. IG, that stands to reason that a 2 or 3 pack will be of Joes...maybe both.  That would be good, there are some key figs that need to be made.

that's usually one in the box set. i'd assume the Iron Grenadier and Voltar filled that niche.

Me, me, me.  I want to get a set, bag or box (doesn't matter to me). 

Thanks

I can't remember, can you order more than one boxed set as a member?
