I'm really liking the set even though most of the original dreadnoks are missing. These are the missing dreadnoks:
Gnawgahyde (though Crusher uses the same mold, I'd prefer Gnawgahyde)
Monkeywrench
Thrasher
Torch
Zandar
Zanzibar

The only weird part is that Master collector states:
Quote
Zarana is in charge of setting the Dreadnok?s trap. With her will be four Dreadnoks that you will recognize, six new troop building Dreadnoks called the Dreadheads and a new Dreadnok named Crusher!


There are only 3 dreadnoks we recognize: Buzzer, Ripper, Road Pig.
Otis, Crusher and the 6 dreadheads are all new. So I'm not sure what MC meant. Maybe Zartan in a 2-pack? However, I think MC has done a great job with what they got.

The cost of the con set is $240.00 for the homefront hero and non-member cost or $220.00 for attending members per set, which equals around 1 million Canadian dollars.

Nope. The last figure is Tiger Force Hard Top and man I just totally laughed out loud at how ugly he is. Don't get me wrong, I've been very possitive about this years set, but that figure just looks plain old goofy. He gives Funskool Cross country someone to eat lunch with at the dork table at G.I.Joe HQ.

I'm pretty sure that Steel Brigade figure will still be used as a con exclusive. Maybe as part of the three-pack that morgardee has mentioned. I'm really curious as to how Zartan disguised as Hawk will look like. It will be such a great shocker if it was a unhooded Zartan head on a Hawk body with a Hawk mask.

I really don't mind Hardtop and his tiger stripes. He'll still be a good addition to my other Hardtops/tech support team.

So the filecards are up and it reveals that Demolisher is a CanNOK! :lol: I should have been a stand-up comedian.

Y`know, as high north as Pikangikum is, is it really a frigid permafrost? If they wanted cold, talk Yukon, not Ontario.

Card art`s a bit strange and inconsistant, but a lot of fun. Zarana looks cool, the Dreadheads look like Steve Austin in a hood, and Hardtop never looked so bad ass.

Actually, I really like Hardtop`s FC in general. He had about two appearances in the Marvel comic, and he was depicted as a guy that doesn`t say`Hello`when a nod will do. They`ve captured that characteristic and written up some fun details.
