Key points (for me anyways)
figures for the set
Quote
So, to recap this outstanding set, you get fifteen figures with weapons and accessories consisting of: Sgt. Clutch, Doc (female), Sgt. Flash, Grunt, Rock ‘N Roll, Sparks, Sgt. Zap, Lt. Claymore, COBRA Officer (female) & COBRA Trooper (female). This set comes in the same style illustrated box as the past years’ sets. We are excited to announce that the filecard art was drawn by Herb Trimpe of Marvel Comics G.I. JOE issue #1 fame! Don’t wait to place your order. This set is limited to only 750 editions.*
A new member for Cobra (there is no anybody would have guessed this)

Rowdy Roddy Piper- WCW World Champion and WWE Hall of Fame inductee will be our featured guest at JoeCon this year! COBRA has added this infamous fighter to its ranks. They have been searching for an Iron Grenadier trainer and wrestling legend who can combat Sgt. Slaughter with equal strength and skill and they have found one in Rowdy Roddy Piper. Hasbro will be honoring this 80s legend by inducting him into the COBRA ranks! There will be a limited edition (1,000) JoeCon commemorative figures available at the show! Make sure you are there to get yours signed by the man himself.

Hmm. I'm waiting until I see some shots of the figures before begging people to get them for me. I was seriously considering proposing a road trip, but I'm not sure.

Joncon would be one hell of a rock fest.

How long a drive is that? Just wondering.
BTW, reading on the 12' set I found this interesting:
Quote
The Adventure Team has been called to investigate recently uncovered military records dating from 1944. These previously lost archives tell of a sunken WWII German U-boat. While these wrecks are not uncommon, this one appears to have been carrying Top Secret experiments. These experiments, by the renowned German scientist Herr Meindbenderartz were being transported to Brazil when the boat was sunk. According to the manifest, Meindbenderartz was developing some type of biological weapon. What these experiments were is unknown. (It is known that after the war, he was brought to the United Sates where he assisted Wernher von Braun in researching the bio-mechanics of space flight.)
Herr Meindbenderartz is pretty darn close to Mindbender as in Dr.Mindbender.

the figure in the display highlighted there kinda piqued Mike's interest at JoeCanuck '07... looks a bit like this guy, doesn't it?
