It's a Joe Canuck for Sac con. I think he's a take off of sure fire, and he had some customs weapons cast for him.

An ambitious custom project, but not an officially licensed product.

Raptor has it right. Basically it was custom figure (mostly Sure Fire parts) given away at the Sacramento toy meet. It was just a rip off idea taken from the joecanuck figure IMO.

The only thing I can find online in repect to this

http://forums.yojoe.com/showthread.php? ... t=King+Rat

I can't believe some people who think a custom figure (which cost 20 bucks at this meet) will increase in value.  I hate to tell them about the joe canuck figure, in which there were only 20 figures made.

Jeez, that yojoe thread is ridiculous.

I guess then if i were to make 5 custom figures, card them and sell them at my toy show (that just happens to have some Joe sellers) as an exclusive made by some guy who talked to some old Hasbro employees at one point in time then it's going to be worth money, and lots of it?

Well, if that's the case, i'd best get cracking.  :roll:

Sheesh.....

Yeah, and good luck to anyone trying to find a Joe Canuck.  No JC owner will (or should) let that go off their hands.

The Joe Canck figure was agreed at the meet that it would not be sold.  I am pretty sure about this.

And mine is still MIP lol.

I opened mine. He had many adventures with Crimson Crazylegs, Cloudburst and thumbless Airtight, but I can't remember where I put him.  :oops:

Mine is still MIP, too. But lucky for me, I still have the prototype I play around with, including the rejected prototype I use for variety.
