Already at a ridiculous high price.

For some reason I'm expecting convention Horrorshow to use this body. At least the legs look like they could work well.

Dumb.

I hope that's the first of many, because I'd love to get one for a less-than-exorbitant price somewhere down the line. I got a real Adventure Team vibe from the color scheme and general weirdness of the figure's appearance, and I can always use a guy in arctic gear. Thanks for the heads-up.

Really dumb, since I'd be willing to bet we will see these soon, only because these are already obviously manufactured. Who says they won't show up under Retaliation in the future.
Or Ross since the same deal happened with the Alphas.

I don't think a sample qualifies as "obviously manufactured", although it certainly doesn't preclude it. But I do believe they said the second round of Mech's were not produced, and certainly not packaged, which would prevent them from showing up at Ross. If they had been made, I think they would've already shown up by now anyways.

this dude was also OMG rare when he first hit the over seas sellers, I hope Alpine has the same availability in the future.

I'll definitely get one if it becomes more plentiful. I think I was the only person that actually wanted the second mech wave to be produced. If nothing else, it would finally make the PoC Arctic Duke coat widely available.

Oh yeah that is that jacket...

I liked all the mech drivers, just can't stand any of the mechs themselves. with any luck this guy will make the 11.99 mark at some point.

THAT'S supposed to be a mech driver? No. Just no.

It's painted, it's past the point of samples and first shots.
It would mean they had started to run the figures then got the call to halt
There's probably 1000's sitting in a few crates bagged and tagged.

As much as I like Joes, and as much as I appreciate the character of Alpine, $300+ is a step off the crack-rock boat for me. TR or Shockwave, I might be a tad bit more interested but a Joe figure versus a car payment the car would always win.

Yeah, I can wait. I don't even have an arctic Duke to use the coat anyway.

I would have rather had the desert scorpion :desertscorpion:

It's obviously a luxury mech.
Heated seats? Oh yes!
