They posted the first figure preview and it is black major. (link) They have also now shown the RED SHADOWS PYRO-TROPPERS: RED TORCHES at (link) . Flint is now showing (link) .
how is interrogator affiliated with the red shadows?? someone fill me in
None that we know of.Figure is a mostly a blank slate except for his Devils Due Plague connections.Figure has a removable helmet so who will be under the helmet??A Joe sent undercover to rescue Flint??Dr Venom's old/new identity??Maybe it'll be the man who becomes Baron Ironblood.Heck with the chance that more Action Force figures will be sold at the Con it could very well be Action Man under the helmet.

While I'm excited to see the Red Shadows and Black Major, I feel slightly cheated by getting two army builders - one of which I don't recall ever hearing of before (Red Torches?). I'd rather have seen more individual characters. However, I understand that the cost of the set would probably be higher if they did that like the Tanks for the Memories set. Oh well.
I bet we'll see more characters in the con attendees only items.
did you guys read the brochure they put out? it sounds like it is red shadows. Here is what it says
"Red Shadows International Set
There has never been an American release of the international
figures in this set. We have some very special surprises for you!
Every collector will want these vintage style figures from the
set: Black Major, Interrogator, Flint, and the troopers: six Red
Torches and six Red Shadows Troopers.
Each of these exotic figures comes with their classic weapons and
accessories in this exciting 2010 fifteen figure boxed set Vacation
in the Shadows!
Make sure you are there for package pick-up on Thursday night
so that you wont miss this years souvenirs! These souvenirs
will feature several highly sought after vintage style G.I. Joes
along with one figure that will make its debut in 3 3/4 scale.
These limited edition figures will have a major roll in the convention
exclusive comic book. Flint has been captured by the Red
Shadows and their evil leader, the Black Major. Can Flints
international team save him, and what of the Interrogator? What
is his role in this insidious plot?"
I don't keep up with all the GIJOE stuff. But if it's anything like what Hasbro does for Transformers figures at Bot-Con, I'll continue to not be interested. $300 for a set of figures is too crazy. I assume this will be a similar situation for a set GIJOE convention exclusives.
I agree. I recently sold off my 2003 set after realizing that I have bought them simply out of the hype some ppl here were making back then. If I am not mistaken, the con sets were 200.
I was happy to sell them off, yet alone sell them for more than what I have paid for because these gi joe con figs are very hard to sell.

Not interested, looks like repeaters torso?
But It is disappointing they went this route, but oh well.
Ugh...o-rings @puke@
Yay! It's good to have more conventions sets I have no interest in owning.
