No help needed. Next years figure is already in the works.

Team, color, name - DONE.
Parts - in the works.
Weapons - worry about it later
Artwork - I hope to use Loop again.

Wow. That was a quick thread. ;-)
Thanks for the thoughts GS, but this was 'kinda' decided a week before the meet already. ;-)

As for people wanting to help out - I'm sure there's going to be a bunch of you offering.
When the time comes that I need it - trust me, I'll ask. ;-)
Mike

Yeah Mike, I wasn't able to come up with too many parts this year, but let me know what you need for next year. You've got myself and the toy store at your disposal.

Much as I like Cobra, I'm hoping next year's figure's a Joe; kinda balance things out. 'Sides, the GI Joe team needs more Canucks on it. :wink:

I still wouldn't mind a animal companion for one of the figures one day.  A penguin, a husky dog....

I loved the idea of the penguin. Ever since you mentioned it, I've been trying to figure out how to weaponize penguins.

I was thinking a Canadian Dreadnok named "Cold Snap". 
I pictured him all ripped and just snapping people's necks...

I can honestly say I've never even thought of a Dreadnok.

Timer pemitting, and 'parts' allowed, I will tell you guys this, I'm aiming for 50 figures next year.
There was at least 10-15 people that asked about the figures after they were sold out.

That would be a good idea, im glad I got the exclusive, but it is certainly not the reason I went to the meet, and I would hope those that really wanted the exclusive could get one.

I could have told you that.  But it's still a cold weather bird. If your are going to limit it to animals from the arctic or subarctic, there isn't much to choose from in the first place.  And Penguins are cool.

Not only is he named after my favorite football team (Pittsburgh Steelers), the European version of Steeler is Greek.  I didn't know about the latter until now.  Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Heck, I didn't know Action Force had a Canadian in it.  Yet along with a real name close to Deadshot's (Jacques-Peter Smith from Ontario, Canada  :o)

Jacques-Peter? That's an odd combo.
