Saw this one Joe customs and thought I'd share over here. I think this will be one of this MC bonus figures from the 2 or 3 packs they always sell at the events:

Thanks for sharing this pics with us.

I don't undestand why his torso is plain white. For a convention fig... and for $15-$20 a fig, I need something a little bit more special. I hope this is just a prototype...

Probably to match the original toy best they could:

Honestly, they're forgiven solely for taking the time to color his surgical scissors silver.

Your theory seems very good Jay. If this is the case, I find the figure lame. There was no need to borrow the Battlecorps Lifeline sculpt simply because he's a medic also. I find it just plain lazy and it makes me not want to buy it or the set it comes in. But then again, we don't know for sure if this is the Action Force Medic figure or if it will be released at the Con, I guess I'll wait and see to revise my comments.

Really? Because I think it's a great use of the mold. I'm not a fan of the Hulk Hogan skin tone, but otherwise it's a great update to the figure, and works much better as such than it ever could as Lifeline.

I like this mold too but a small alteration would've been considerate. The head could've been another figure's per instance, with a removable helmet to push it to another level. Anyhow, I understand what you mean, and I find it nice to a certain point that the original figure was entirely reused but I can't help thinking it's Lifeline, sorry. One of the neat things I liked about TRAHC (2000-2002), is that they came up with new head sculpts for about half of their figures, so there was something fresh about it, and I saw Lifeline's body be put to good use with a new head. Anyway, as I'm typing all this, I might feel silly later on if I find out this was never a convention figure LOL but just a professionnally looking custom  .
