2009 G.I. Joe Con: The Collector's Club Panel (Updated w/Images)

The Hydro-Viper is real. It will be a two-pack army builder.

Well I don't think I phrased that right.

First of all, it means we WON'T ever get a character named "Hydro-Viper" in the "main line". That sucks.

But if the figure actually LOOKS like a Hydro-Viper (as opposed to just a red Eel) that would suck even more.

lol

These look nice. the exclusives are getting much better. Those that want them can get them but it isn't a "must have" if they had done REAL characters.

Alkthough it will suck if the Hydro-Viper mentioned is real.

As for the molds, oh well. Time to move on. I mean, did we REALLY expect them to go back to that style? Honestly. The only consideration, with that, is vehicles since most RAH vehicles will work with the 25th style bodies still. I'd hope they would take that into consideration.

So are we sure this is all vehicles too? What about Weapons/ accessories?

anymore pics of it anywhere?

whoah whats that dude with the wings and the long sniper rifle? looks friggen sweet (not like gi joe though... has an anime feel to it.. like gundam or something) i might have to pick a couple of these up when they come out... >.

I understand not wanting to keep the molds but they could sell them as opposed to destroying them. I can think of a few classic figure molds I would love to buy to display with my classic joes.

I'm assuming you have the tens of thousands of dollars to pay for these molds?

Don't forget not only are the molds IN CHINA but they also are a) heavy and expensive as hell.

For some companies it's cheaper/safer to destroy than to sell.

And some of these things are going to be about the size of a small car--and weigh almost as much!
