GIJCC 2012 convention set.
« on: January 29, 2012, 12:09:46 PM »

Take this for what you will but I was on facebook today and fired of the MC club a question about this years set:

Quote
Well every post I've read as far as the 2012 set has been calling for a Night Force theme and the Night Boomer (3 3/4). This is the first year pretty much everyone has been on the same page for what they want so I STRONGLY suggest increasing your production numbers if (heck, when) you make the Night Boomer. Don't go crazy on the price ($50 sounds fair) and you WILL sell out. I'd bet money on it.

They replied:

G.I. Joe Collectors' Club ‎@Dave - The set was determined months ago and is very far along.

So personally I read that as there is no Night Force set this year, which means no Night Boomer. That is just my opinion, and not fact.

Ya that Night Force set sounds like a great idea.  Maybe next year.

I read a rumour that the set is going to be a Ninja themed set.  I hope not I'd be very disappointed if it is.  Don't get me wrong I like the ninjas but not a whole set built around them.

Crap, I think you might be on to something.

Looks like the Arashikage symbol.

Nuts.

Hard to say but I think we'll know very soon.

I looked at previous years posters / advertisements and they don't always equal what the convention set is about.

It is possible the Arashikage symbol is being used to reflect the guest of the convention and not the toys. In other words they might have both Ray Park and Byung-hun Lee as guests at the event. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

Remember, in 2008 the GIJCC post image was Snake Eyes with Timber but the set was all about BATS and the Head Hunters.

Am I the only one that sees Crystal Ball's face on the upper left hand corner? Maybe I'm imagining things, but I see his white streak of hair, collar and glowing eyes. What do you guys think?

I do sort of see teeth. I can see what you are talking about now:

Two minutes in Paint, it looks like Monty Burns, but this might help
 :D

Like I said, I might just have an over-active imagination.
