Well it's all but confirmed. The logo for 2013 is up and it's the typical convention shield and the Night Force logo blended together.

Yep. Charbroil's body is made from the new movie Joe Trooper so this means movie parts are in the mix. Hopefully none of the limited legs and arms will be used.

Maybe, maybe not. The past 2 years they had the voice actors for the annual free membership figures. This years it's Iceberg. I was expecting that voice actor. It's a bit a of a let down but hey, I still need her autograph for my DVD box set, so it's all good.

The next few days should be interesting as the sets go on sale and hopefully we'll see the final products. If it's like last year then the sets should sell out fast. I suspect they increased production numbers this year. I just hope that means an increase in attending items.

The interesting part will be to see how they work the movie parts together with the 25th /30th stuff. I've worked with the wave 1 movie parts and aside from the Red Ninja and Joe Trooper a lot of the movie parts are pretty limited to work with. The bodies are OK, legs down right suck.
