JoeCon 2010 free figure attendees “Para-Drop” Flint figure

[Draikar]

JoeCon 2010 free figure attendees or one of is a “Para-Drop” orange Flint figure.

EDIT - This is a private parachute drop for school kids to help promote the convention locally, limited I guess..

Too bad he was not painted red with a red shadow head, billed as a Red Shadow Para-Drop figure...

cool that they are doing this but I am definately not bothered by NOT GETTING IT

the idea of a stealth drop in orange wouldn't get you to far.

Unless it was at sunset, or sunrise perhaps? Or in Florida so they could merge in with the orange plantations?

I think it's well cool of Hasbro to do this - both the drop and the giving of one each to each attendee. Giving something back, and good marketing/publicity - more companies should do the same.

Although he does look like the 3 3/4 inch Face figure from the A Team range.

He looks like a prison breaker with that orange jumpsuit. Besides, why release the same guy who will be part of the convention set?

[SteveD]

Ease of production I'd guess! Same moulds, just different colours, and 'when it's a freebie, folks shouldn't grumble' mentality!

I personally liek it! I want one to throw from the top floor of the house!

I would hook mine to a kite and fly him, easy to spot with that orange., Only 5 days and 20 hours till JoeCon 2010 !

Sorry but only just slightly less shite than the other convention Flint!

I vaguely recall some idiot doing that with a muton a while back, but I can't find the thread now!
The first ever para drop without a para!!
"that's cos I'm hard!"
