 Post subject: FSS 13th Secret Figure Speculation?

I just received the latest issue of the Club's magazine. For those of you who don't get it, there is a two page comic at the beginning that usually focuses on figures from the Club's ranks, like the yearly membership figure or the FSS figures. In this story several characters were featured, most being Club figures. It had Tan Grunt and and Tan Barrel Roll from the FSS as well as Iceberg, the upcoming membership figure. Two other characters featured in the comic were Wild Bill and Crazy Legs, both of whom already have a figure. The final featured character was Sideswipe. Who? Yeah, exactly. Sideswipe is a somewhat obscure figure from the Joe v Cobra line that came in a two pack with a version of Lifeline.

Could the Club be hinting at who the 13th secret figure is?

I hope not. He's a neat figure and another medic, but if this top secret super special figure is this obscure character, it would be very anti-climatic. We'll just have to wait three more months to find out for sure I guess.

My guess is that is not a hint. The Club storyline last year had another character from RAHC wave 5, Side Track v2 (the 1994 Stalker repaint with a new head), as one of its characters, so it's probably just them trying to get use out of an obscure character.



I'm still guessing that Munitia will be the 13th figure. But, with the Club willing to mine just about any aspect of Joe history, and no other clues, everything is speculation. I do think Munitia would make sense because she would be "cool-but-optional":

(1) She's a cool character that most collectors would probably find worthwhile.
(2) ... but not a core character or one from the RAH line, so (hopefully) most Joe collectors that didn't get the FSS wouldn't get angry about a hole in their collection that can't be filled (like with Sgt. Slaughter and Zarana).
(3) Although it wouldn't be totally accurate, the Club could probably get away with making her using the Crimson Asp parts combination (minus the skirt) and a DTC Munitia head retooled to fit on a ball joint.

Really, really GOOD authority.

I'm really ashamed of you guys. It's obvious who the 13th figure has to be.

:flint3:

I hope not too.

My main concern though is FSS 2.0. They said they will start taking orders for it soon. 8-O So soon after Joecon, Oktober Guard re-issue, FSS 1.0 last payment. It is far too early for this! :-x Not to mention we only know a few of the figures.

We do? Why wasn't I informed? My assistant in charge of these things is so fired!

I could have sworn I read in the February Club magazine that they were planning on revealing the figures at the end of "this month". I took that to mean February, but maybe they meant March.

As I mentioned in one of the convention threads, I expect that they'll reveal the line at the roundtable panel at the convention. Since FSS and the membership figure are probably the only exclusives they are doing now, there wouldn't be much to discuss otherwise.

There was some leaked card art a while back right?

It's going to be a direct rerelease of 25th Roadblock, but named Double Blast. The card art is just a picture of a middle finger.

That seems like a good bet
