JOECON 2010

.....................The club story is trying to be respectful of original Red Shadows filecards and comic stories (hence details like Dolphin's rank & quote, etc.) but tiptoeing around major plot discrepancies like Ironblood's vastly conflicting history rewrites.

this is great news, I cant wait to read and look at the comic

red shadows, black major Z-force Q-force Natalie poole

can anyone tell us more details about the comic? does Blades from Last year make an appearance?

..................

Finally, where's this rumor of 1 Joe and 1 Cobra per set come from? I think I heard it mentioned here when they first showed Flint, and Interrogator a few months back. But that's it, I've NEVER heard that rule anywhere else, and I've been to a lot of the conventions.

Roger

it was mentioned on the collectors club forums by the staff.

and its a new rule to me too

The club did say:

1) "SAS" is off-limits, just as the Red Cross logo can't be used on medics any more. So SAS & AF merged into SAF and is the blanket for any character not specifically established as Q- or Z- (or Space for that matter).

2) Natalie's blue shirt is an homage to her 12" version.

As to why Lifeline and Flint are there, it is all explained in the convention comic and in the filecards.

thank you so much for getting this info for us man I really appreciate it

the natalie poole is indeed an excellent homage to her 12 inch toy and cartoon appearances so im super happy with her

any mention of AF DOC ? any other characters? like Jammer was mentioned last year?

what profiles are in the comic? if any?

[samsallspark]

the only limit I was aware of is for every box set, you can buy a loose bagged set.

I may be dead wrong, but the INTERROGATOR may be BARON IRONBLOOD HIMSELF!!!! Why do I think this: The biography from the original packaging describes Baron Ironblood as "a born leader with a twisted criminal brain, noted for "hypnotic" control over men, his madness leads to wild fury in defeat, often taken out on his own troops. His sworn intent is to destroy all organised government in Europe".

(And he shaved)!!!!

Interrogator's file card for con-Interrogator has the same guff on as Interrogator-helicopter pilot RAH version. they just added the fluff about meeting Black Major and trying to make an alliance with him.

[jamarmiller]

can we get any pictures from the insides of the comic book?

I am just going to clarify a couple of my points and then I will make no further comments on this thread:

Firstly I will change my Avatar as I do not wish to ruin anything for anyone.

Maybe I should take a stab at Q Force, Please bear with me (over here the club is set to lauch the 3 & 3/4 inch Adventure Team and the colors are yellow, It could be that they didn't want to cause any confusion, and the color scheme needed to be that of a stealth mission, I understand your feelings and respect them, but at least the Collectors' Club has made an effort on the U.K.'s Historic role in the G.I.JOE Universe.

This is a fair comment and thank you for that Samsallspark. I like the adventure team items as they look really well done.
Joecon's SAF Hawk and Blades was a wonderful tribute and modernisation so I cannot understand why the Q Force effort was so poorly made. If they do look through this site I just wonder why on earth they came up with what they did for Q force. Surely the wise thing to have done would be to have at least contacted The Baron or Dave Tree for maybe some advice and feedback.
I have just pulled up the picture and without any cohersion from myself asked my 8 year old what he thought. He replied " They are not Q Force they are naff!" It maybe alot bigger than this forum but it just seems to imply no consideration.
Like I said previously Palitoy is dear to alot of us and I won't sit quitely by and see one of the Forces misrepesented just incase it upsets someone. If you never recieve critism you cannot learn, grow and improve.
