The ARAH set this year is Gristle, two Headhunter Guards, six Headhunter Stormtroopers, and six B.A.T.s. There will most likely be a 3 pack of G.I.Joe's (SWAT team members) you can buy to go along with this boxed set and a few vehicles. No pictures yet.
So who wants to split a boxed / bagged set? :wink:
Also, is anyone from Canada going this year?

He looks like he spent too much time in a tanning bed.
I have to agree there. I didn't like the MOTH shippy and chuckles because of that. It just looks too wierd. Plus, he's got a brass butterfly on the front of his uniform. WHF?
The shadow suggests another mech as part of the set - You know, because the Iron one was so desirable...
I think that the bats will make me happy though.

His beck?
Funny thing is, that "beck" is Dutch for "mouth"

I meant his beak. I have been running around like a chicken with his head cut off today.
I know - I just saw the humour as Beck is mouth in Dutch - which is what you were trying to say anyway.

Oh well, see what happens when Pete tries to make a funny. It blows up in his face.

I'm waiting to see other figs before deciding if I buy the whole set or a part of it. I don't have the big "WOW" effect of last year with those cobra girls, doc, R&R, ...

Do we now have more information on these? A SWAT team including Shockwave could look very nice...

Nothing else to report except the two figures shown. It's been almost three weeks since the last update. And nothing for the 12" has been shown either.

One has a helmet like Snowbanks.
Could be Long Arm. I can't figure out the third guy.

Looks like the Bats torso is a new cast.

My vote is Recoil or Beach Head V2.

I don't think we want to get into lifting images from the MC group and hosting them here. They are very sensative about that.
They will be hosting the image this week so lets just wait a couple more days.

Dave is right. I could have scanned the image of the box art work in the newsletter and posted it here, but I don't need the aftermath drama that could have resulted from GIJCC.

Gristle remains an outlier for this set. He should have been teal as well to match the other two figures already shown.

The Stormtrooper figure image is up on GI Joe Club convention website.Wonder why they had to use Rock Viper (Metal Head v2) legs?

I still don't like the Stormtroopers body. The arms are too low.
I saw your post before to see the pic... and I think you have an expression in English for this... it is an understatement!!!
What were they thinking about ??? Now you pointed that out, I can't see anything else... but those "low arms". ::)

HATE the overlord legs, though.
Post by: Madman on May 19, 2008, 10:50:37 PM
Had they not used the v1 lower arms, parts and backpack, this figure would be a total failure.
So we know all the v1 parts exist except for the torso.
head - club
upper arms - whiteout/frostbite
lower arms - club
waist and legs - vipers
They could have used all these parts and just the v2 chest, but I guess it was not meant to be. I suppose the club wanted to give the bats a different look, and these parts wouldn't work with the metallic/gray color. So they had to use the parts they did.
