No it's not our Black Ice figure but Snow Job in black. I found it funny that the seller is located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Anyone know the seller wolfe254?

So, uh, what brand of paint are you using? I'm willing to try other paints on smaller projects.
Post by: Scramble on May 31, 2006, 10:32:00 AM
I do like a couple of his figs, actually, especially that Airtight. And I don't think he's trying to horn in on our Black Ice. Just had the same idea, I guess.

I planned on posting the 'official' Black Ice figure anyway at some point, so may as well do it now. (Including the links to Hawks review!).
What do you guys think?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I have a pretty good idea on who it is. Mainly because I have a customer that WANTED a Black Ice but didn't want to come to the Joe Meet. Then again, I could be 100% wrong.
Someone should email him (via ebay) and invite him to JoeCanuck.
Imagine the shock he'd have to see OUR Black Ice figure!

I've got a spare Black Ice figure from the meet....... should I post him?
Mike
If by post him, you mean mail him to me, then yes!
Post by: BHMike on May 31, 2006, 02:15:35 PM
If I had one left over from the meet, he would go on ebay.
I owed some 'other' people favors, which is why they ended up with one as well. (Airtight, General Hawk for example).
This last one was always destined for ebay as a way to get 'some' funds for next years Joe Meet.
Sorry!

There's a thread on the YoJoe message boards about the figure as well. It's making the rounds now. :)
Make with the link before the suspense kills me!

I wonder if that thread will alert more Canadians to this site?
I tossed in my 2 cents over there. And 'pimped' the upcoming auction.

At least using the casted parts allowed you to have his approval. That was close Mike. I thought that he was going to pwn us... :?
And as for speculation on next years fig? A true Canadian? Does this mean that I will finally be getting the Tommy Hunter - Champion of Socialized Health Care! action figure that I've always wanted?

I put them there using a woodburning kit.. it was my first time numbering things, so they do tend to get a little sloppy. ;-)
Turn it around and you should be able to make out the actual number you have.
#1, 2, 3, 4, 5 were all given to those that helped out with it.

Well, I might be in the minority, but I'd much rather get a serious character I can incorporate into my Joe world than a joke-ish character that'll just be a novelty item.

But that's what's so cool about the Joe Meet.
I I decided the next figure would be a tribute to say.... .Bryan Adams (just for Scramble), then it would have to be done in the same style as The Fridge or Sgt. Slaughter - I don't either of those serious in the 'joe world' as they are both real people.
I have a 'serious' one in mind, and a 'non-serious' one in mind.
The non-serious one would cater to both sides - joe or cobra.
The 'serious' one - would be a Joe.

A team of Backstops on the other hand...
Also, the Canadian version of Steeler is from Hamilton. Too bad Pete gave away all his extras.

And I can believe Sgt. Slaughter could be a Joe. The real Sarge, Robert Remus, was in the Marine Corps and was a drill instructor prior to becoming a wrestler. But my interpretation isn't as over-the-top-superhero as the cartoon character.

Like I said, I'd be much happier with a serious character like Joe Canuck or Black Ice. But I'm probably in the minority.
A mountie would be nice, like Pete suggested, but who knows if it can be done?

Black Ice was born because there was no way to do a Mountie correctly.

Here's an idea, but probably near impossible to mold and make. But some here might have the skills. What about the AVRO ARROW plane as a vehicle exclusive. Could customize an existing Joe or Cobra plane. Just an idea sticking with the canadian theme.

We could have "annoying customs guy" who seizes all of our toys when we cross the border.
Or perhaps a Beer Viper, cuz there are some things that Canadians get right that Americans don't.
