Any word on pricing? This is a must get. Also, to anyone out there who cares about ARAH, the GIJoe club's incentive figure for next year is Pythona.

This set is a MUST have for me. And seeing BOSS Fight Studios doing takes on serpentine creatures, Cobra-La stuff is a must have because of SerpentOR, I really want a Nemesis Enforcer, though.

With you on both counts! The color scheme of the original B.A.T.-which is totally badass-fits that mold like a micro-cassette. As for "the viper" I have yet to acquire a custodian in my action figure collection so that would be awesome!

I'm still making my own custom Marissa Fairbourne out of a spare Terra Firma white test shot and SpyLounge head; not that I normally care about action figures of female characters being better endowed than they are in official fiction, but after her upsetting depiction in Kiss Players, EDF's top soldier needs a space helmet AND zero-G-cups to tell the universe she don't tolerate Decepticons OR lolicons.
But of course I'm buying her new official toy too.

CHUG is not in the 1980's G1 universe.
This figure is for G.I Joe collectors first and Transformers fans Second.

If you seriously want that, I'd recommend getting some of those Guardians of the Galaxy tiny two-packs (clearanced down to $4.99 at Meijer) and commence customizin'. The Ronan vs. Starlord should have all the parts you need. I'm stocking up on Gamoras just in case I ever get ambitious enough to do the Neo Knights!
And seriously, if this new scale continues after Age of Ultron, official toys of human TF characters that scale decently could actually happen; our silver lining from rising plastic prices.

Botanica's the Beast Hunter's Soundwave. B.A.T.wave is Prime Soundwave.

Now for something a bit serious. Also at the con Hasbro announced that in one of the vehicle sets named "Silent Strike" there will be a new figure named Sightline. Sightline is a tribute to Gary "Goggles" Head a long time fan and Joe historian. If you enjoy the new Skystriker, Starscream Skystriker, or Jetfire you owe him a debt of gratitude since it was his generosity to Hasbro that made it possible.

Yeah that was a joke.

Can you elaborate his involvement with the SDCC exclusives further?

(1) Crossover Transformers that actually transform
(2) More GI Joe articulation in human characters
I'm in.

If Old Snake was only One and a Half inch tall. It would have less articulation or no articulation at all. Which would upset both G.I Joe and TF fans more.

These Joe/TF Club Store exclusives are the same kind of case that the Club Store exclusives we get every year are. Last year was BWU Trans-Mutate, 2012 was Over-Run and SG Drift, 2011 was G2 Ramjet and Animated Cheetor, 2010 was Punch/Counterpunch and SG Cyclonus, 2008 was Nightbeat and the Seacons, and 2006 was Astrotrain and DoFP Airazor.

I do things to MP 01 everyday in their honor. To bad I don't own one, so I borrow someone else's.
