I'm ebaying it.
Not this weekend, most likely not next weekend either.... but I would 'guess' by the end of July I'll be posting it on ebay.
Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll use the money he brings in for the meet or not - seeing as I'll be 'temporarily retaired' and all.
Any thoughts?

Still, it's your figure now, so go for it!

If the figure was sold just strictly for cash in pocket then I think it's onlt fair Loop be give a piece of that action. It was his talents that brougt us the head and it's the head that really makes Joe Canuck stand out.
Honestly, since you asked for our input I'd say I'm torn. It would be neat to watch to see how much the figure would generate on ebay for sure but I think any profit should be used in some way to invest in next years meet. Heck, make next years con exclussive G.I. Golddust. I hear he'll work for cheap nowadays. You could probably hire him and we can have our own wrestler show up. :thumbsup:
Alright, you all know I was joking about Golddust right.

Here's another idea. Give it to Dryhawk for being such a devoted fan that he is essentially co-sponsoring the next meet.

After all that hassle about not wanting 'em to be resold.
No no no.... The 'hassle' as you put it was over the MOC JoeCanuck figure.
THAT one.... damn.... that one was supposed to stay in the store per Ken (navajoe)'s wishes..... now that I'm closing, I guess it'll make a yearly trip to the Joe Meet!
:-)
I never said anything about the 'individual' ones that people bought. If someone wanted to sell theirs on ebay - who am I to stop them. BUT - since each one DID have that persons name on the file card.... that seemed to deter people from doing so.
Holding it for next year is a cool idea.... And yes, Loop WOULD get a cut since it's his sculpt and artwork on the filecard.
Like I said, it's not happening anytime soon - lord knows I'll be busy enough the next 6 weeks or so!
Another option is that I list it in Feb.07 to get some interest going on the NEXT meet..... and promote that years fig. ;-)

Even if Mike decides to give me a piece of the action off the auction, I wouldn't feel right taking it for myself. If I wanted money off Joe Canuck, I would have sold off the prototype heads on Ebay. Instead, one of the proto-heads is still with me, while the other has been raffled off at the last Joe Meet (to Mike's nephew).
Besides, selling off a Joe Canuck exclusive would give other people ideas.
Plus, I find it has a sentimental meaning than a Mastercollector convention set, which has auctions on the very first day...sad.

Next Joe Canuck meet, raffle the figure off.
My first instinct is that someone who already has a Joe Canuck would probably end up with another. But thinking about it, last year's meet and Black Ice generated a lot of attention for the Joe Canuck meets. That figure wouldn't have sold for so much otherwise. So there's a good chance a lot of, if not at least half of next meets attendees will never have owned Joe Canuck. And I think getting more people to attentd is more important than getting a few hundred bucks.

The black ice figure definely gave the extra weight for me to drive the 6 hours down for the con.

I think having a real cool custom cobra figure will definitely bring more people to the con.

After deftly avoiding answering this question at the bbq, I have thought about it. The figure is yours to do with as you wish, but I'd prefer to see it kept "in the family" so to speak, and have to agree with Loop.
- :chicken:
By the way Drew, you get the Black Ice yet?
- Mike
PS - For those wondering what 'BBQ' Raps is talking about, I had a BBQ at my place on Saturday - don't take it personal if you weren't invited. I didn't invite those that don't own a car, or live WAY too far to come. Some I just didn't even hear back from until today!
Besides.... Most people just wanted to see my toy roomS ...... yes, that is an "S" on Toy Room. :-)

I will take a picture of him on the beach, so you can see how far he travelled though. Ill post it here when he arrives. Thanks again for letting me take part and owning a piece of your Canadian Joe history.
