Well, that's the first one I want. Not enough to get on this subscription idiocy, but maybe on the secondary market.

That would be interesting.

See, now, this is more impressive.

Ironically, though, not my personal cup'o Joe.

I've never cared for Hasbro's neon ninja phase (or really the overabundance of ninja in the Joe property).

I made my own Dice a while back with a much more muted color pallette. If I were to get a subscription, this is one of the figures I'd sell off to recoup costs.

Other than the part about making my own, this is pretty much how I feel. In any case, I'll likely be getting at least 2 subscriptions, depending on what the figs end up being, as I don't believe the rumored list. I figure if I'm lucky, one of the figures (probably the 13th) will be a core-enough figure it will end up like Dial-Tone, and can pay for the subscription by itself. Or two of them will be "close enough", and between the two come near paying for it all.

I really hope even if they don't show it at least tell us what #13 is going to be. Otherwise I may be trying to buy it off someone who doesn't want it. I keep thinking Super Trooper just because I want to add another mail away to my ME collection

I want a new Super Trooper figure too! That would rock.

Huh, who knew ninjas were into those metrosexual v-neck shirts.

No one, because ninjas aren't seen.

Still wondering if they gave it a new head sculpt under the mask, if it's something that was designed but unreleased, or a retread of a head sculpt, possibly someone like Matt Trakker considering how the hair looks sculpted with the part & direction, etc.

Just a random thought...but the hair on that head reminds me of the "Man of Asia" head...the old 12" figure...I could see the Club sneaking in that sculpt on dice so they could use it again on a future figure.similar to what they did for Interrogator.

Where was Interrogator's head re-used?

I can totally see the Club doing something similar with Dice... Just using the "Man of Asia" head.

And if at some point in the Future, the Club wants to try and put out more 3 3/4" "12" Joes" They have the Heads in their tool library.

Ah yeah, that's right. Didn't they do the same with the 1:18th Adventure team heads as well? They've got the technology, that's for sure.

Hah, man, if it is the Man Of Asia head, I hope someone casts it, because while I have an LBC Dice I'm happy with, I'd love to get my hands on that head.

I believe so...I think they also did it on the Carla "Doc" Greer figure from the "Tanks for Nuffin' set".

Okay, I'm impressed. Granted I am hardly an expert on modern-style G.I. Joe figures, but I don't see a lot of previously-used parts on this figure, and certainly the mask is new! It'd be interesting if it was removable, as well.

As for the purple, doesn't bother me. Never really bothered by most of the bright colors. Heck, I'm looking forward to Sci-Fi and the Techno-Viper, too.
