Still waiting for mine but the figure has officially arrived in a Hisstank guy's mailbox. The big thing to note besides how well done the figure is, is that he is sporting the new wrist articulation. Thanks to GeneralsJoes.com for the link.

Haven't seen mine yet so I'll be looking. Just wanted to point out too since the club doesn't give a heads up, I would expect there will be a carded version at the con. It's not confirmed but keep it in mind if you will want it. I don't see any reason it won't happen unless the whole credit card deal messed up some of their plans.

Hope my Footloose is in the mail, waiting for me when I get back off the road.

it has been stated more than once that since Hisstank has given up on their attempt to monopolize all joe information on the net, and now allow other sites to be mentioned there, that we can now freely post links to their site.

also since Pluv owns the site he can post whatever he likes.

as is Footloose looks good, not worth a membership good but good none the less.

I have a feeling Suburbanator was joking around.

I'm more interested in seeing "Man of Evil" pics.

Got mine today. All this time seeing the pictures I didn't realize he had one of those bandoliers that sat flat. It's like the Cobra Trooper when when you grab the figure to position the arms, the belt portion rides up. You have to reposition the bandolier every time you touch the figure. I almost feel like positioning the belt part and jabbing pins in the front and back to be sure it doesn't move... or superglue it.

Over all I like the figure. It's nicely detailed and fits the part. The accessories are great. I have no complaints over all actually. I just dislike the bandolier.

Mine arrived yesterday too. Great looking figure, and the hinge wrists are incredibly well hidden by the watch and bracelet. I agree with J_Man on the webgear riding up, though if you use the backpack it helps a bit with that. I might swap the head with the ROC Footloose, as the Claymore head looks a bit too grizzled for my liking. Still a nice sculpt, though.

Footloose is a great figure overall, but that webgear thing really does bug me. I may swap it out.

Not a huge fan of the backpack, either.

Already gave him a different rifle.

Is it just me or are the accessories often the weakest link in the Club's product quality chain?

I couldn't think of the word webgear when I typed yesterday, haha. But yeah, that's what keeps me from really liking the regular Cobra troopers and any of the other figures that use the belt and suspenders style webgear. It always results in the riding up syndrome. I haven't figured out anything to do to fix it.

Gluing or otherwise anchoring the belt at the waist is about all you can do, but then you get restricted lateral torso movement. Plus, having that gear be removable is one of the big pluses of the modern era design.

It's a bummer, no doubt.

I wonder if using those clear rubber band things they tie down figures with in packages would work. Basically a strap tied to the front and back and running between the legs. If it was tight enough and tied right, it might not be visible. Maybe. I haven't tried it or seen anybody do it so it's hard to say.

Got mine in the mail yesterday, blown away with how cool it is. I thought I liked the prototype version better (and I still do in small part) but overall I like what they did with it all the way around. I'm amazed at how well they did this one. I didn't like dialtone at all, didn't get him. Airborne repaint and the parts just don't work, but this footloose is fabulous.
