Half way through the “Last Panel” a few people let me know that my name had been called (and butchered aloud) for a raffle prize. I left the panel and dropped off the prize at the table. Everyone on the sales floor was already talking about the figures “all over the internet” just shown moments before. So sorry for being late on this one.
If this is the first you are hearing about it, the Club has a few more releases tentatively scheduled before the end of the year when their license is set to expire. Brian said the factory says they can do it, but it wouldn’t surprise me if orders went up this year and they mailed everything out later.
First, the isolated items, not FSS and not the two packs. A Night Stalkers army builder single figure with multiple heads. I actually like this better than Hasbro’s release of the female blue shirt.

Next is Ninja Force Zartan and his trike. This will be released exactly like Heartwrencher and the Ground Assault Stinger. Zartan is cool enough and he fills a void. I’ve seen customs use that Retaliation Joe trooper head plenty so it isn’t jarring. Doesn’t look like they put a ton of detail on the bike as far as paint apps but I expect that to be better in hands then the early mock up.

So now what has been dubbed the “Final Twelve”. These would have been another round of FSS but timing made the logistics impossible. So instead the figures will be offered as two packs.

Marauders BBQ and Low Light. Probably the overall weakest offering but considering this year’s con theme they are better ARAH representations than Hasbro’s offering in the 7 pack.

AT guy versus new fan created villian Coils O’Doom. O’Doom sports the BossFight designed and sculpted Cesspool head. And while the Black Spider Rendevous has that retro inspiration, I really like how modern he looks.

Sonic Fighters
Dodger vs Viper, I was never a fan of the originals but they got a big cheer so people are excited for them.

Falcon and Road Pig, the digital camo mock up will look better in person as the club never gets the digital version right. I also expect Road Pigs weapons to be bright orange and not brown or burnt cienna.

UK Tiger Force releases, I think Christopher from the Full Force spoke for the excitement in the room with everything from cheering to crying to actually going up on the club panel to hug them for getting around to some of out favorite designs. Honestly, they are solid builds with the paint schemes translated as expected. These are good figures to end an era with.
