Wouldn't they be more likely to use an existing mould and repaint? A Crimson guard repaint maybe?

Havent been around here for a while so "Hi" to everyone but guess I picked a good day to turn up! Will get round to answering everyones PMs later today and apologies to anyone ive let down in my hiatus...

Thanks for the heads up about this Jim - ill definately be buying one of these but may have to go the ebay route after the event as dont believe they take Paypal (and less surprisingly Solo)...

So my half finished custom shadows will be made redundant now but maybe theyve used the Crimson Guard mould like I did as it seems an obvious choice...

if not using paypal is your biggest problem then send me the money, fill out the form, and ill let you use my credit card !

I dont think you want to wait for ebay , these are going to sell out and finding them on ebay will be EXPENSIVE

I'm in...renewed my membership last night and my registration was emailed this morning. Grabbed an extra bagged set as well for some additional Shads. Like Steve says who knows where the cash is coming from but it had to be done. I think this year might be an exception as sourcing these from eBay could be a nightmare.

With regards molds, I always thought that a Cobra Officer or Big Bear mold was the best fit.

More than likely, I think, but if they are using a new sculpt for the :shadow:'s heads would the helmets be removable?
In a long forgotten thread, didn't someone mention that it would be next to impossible for a average human head to fit into a :shadow: helmet?
More news, as its made, from new Action Force!

I have an email from "angie" confirming receipt of my faxed form. Just standard email, saying "got it". No confirmation of the order or anything - apparently that comes mid march!

From past oring convention figures when releasing never before done stuff they often sculpt new heads with existing body parts. Looking forward to these and seeing them for the first time... Did promise I would go over if they ever released stuff but dont know if I have enough time to save up...
