Would you ever consider doing a figure with an animal companion again? like say, a Wolverine? or a Polar Bear?

Do any of this year's figures have a "non - standard" weapon....meaning, not a hand gun, machine gun or knife?

WEDNESDAY ANSWER
Actually, that was something the CJC team discussed for this year.
Sadly, the place we used for the HATE has closed up shop. Which sucks, obviously.

With folks wanting multiples of H.A.G.A.R. to army build (assuming it's not an individual character), how many figures are in this year's set? How many vehicles?

Since we're getting repeat questions and many pages, how about another summary...
Apologies if I missed someone or misquoted - I'm just summarizing what I see here. Corrections welcome.

- What is this year theme (if any?) for the set (Marine, Winter, Air, etc.)?
A: NO REAL "THEME"...
- Will we get figure stands in this set?
A: Plan is yes, time permitting- O-ring or ME?
A: Modern Era / 25th style (unless Hasbro makes O-ring again)

No: no "animal companion", no chrome, no female figure (this year), no ninja for the canucks this year (possible never), no army builders or early bird exclusives
Plan on cost being $180, 125 sets made, credit cards online via paypal, but doubtful at the show

Other Questions:
- Will we get a vehicle or will it be figs only again?
- Will there be Joes and Cobras in the set?
- Will the set be all-new characters, all updated versions of existing ones, or a combination of both?
- Will this year's set be Cobra heavy, Joe heavy or an even split?
- Will the comic book come with an updated Canadian Gi joe Order of battle?
- Do any of this year's figures have a "non - standard" weapon....meaning, not a hand gun, machine gun or knife?
- How many figures are in this year's set? How many vehicles?
- How does the size of the box compare to the other year's sets?
- What color is the box this year? Will it have a soft foam or Styrofoam insert?
- Will there be a color palette theme for the figures of the set this year?
- Is one of the characters based on a living person?
- Will there be at least one figure in the set that will come with a unique sticker applied?
- Will we ever see a character representing Canada's First Nations?
- will we get a black Canadian team member figure?
- will any of the figures be based on the Canuckleheads?
- will you ever make Hero Shiver in his 'Canadian Commando' costume?
- Will the Canucks get their own white AWE Striker?
- Are all the characters in this year's set Canadian?
- Are there any characters who might be on "loan" from the Joes / Cobra etc.?
- Any characters who are from a branch outside of the Army? Any characters from the Navy, Air Force or Marines?

CAn we spread the word and show the figures on other sites?  Is it okay to hot link the pics to this site or do you want us to host our own pics (Photobucket.com)?
