Strawberry blonde hair and her coat. That is everything I want in this figure. The accessories are blah but otherwise that is a solid figure. I like the additional belt too.


Pluv, this pretty much sums up my opinion too. I'm glad they did include the coat.

I'm not surprised about the subscription not being live yet. I'm impressed that they announced pretty much out of the blue that it would be going live without having it actually ready to go.

EDIT: Obviously, it turns out that no such announcement was made, and that makes a lot more sense than announcing one afternoon that the service is going live in an hour.

EXACTLY what I wanted to see with Cover Girl! Sparta body, coat, and the reddish-blonde hair, to pay homage to the original dark reddish hair and the newer blonde-ish.

I would think it's about time for this topic now... At 1pm central it's more less announced they will have the final reveal and the service goes live for ordering. There was a post made as well stating that the figures will not be over $25 but will not be less than $20. I don't see why they don't just say it, but still we're now talking for sure that it is at least $20 a figure. I don't know if I'm going for that. That puts it at around $52 to $55 with shipping included a month. That's at a guess, but we'll see at 1pm.


Okay, just re-read the Facebook threads, and I don't see anywhere that they announced it would be the final reveal and service going live at 1 Central.

I tracked down the post that started it all. I was going off other people.... which they "assumed" and we all know what that gets...

Anyway the original post says THIS week, not today. So apparently after the next reveal it goes live. Here's what was actually said:

Quote:
G.I. Joe Collectors' Club I think THIS is the way it will go down...

1. The final figure reveals THIS week!

2. At some point afterwards (days not hours), when it is ready... the sub service page will go live. ALL the details including pricing will be on that site. The price PER FIGURE will most likely not be less than $20 and not more than $25. (Remember carded Dial-Tone sold for $25, the goal for the sub is to be less expensive than that. These figures are EXPENSIVE to make with new parts on many and TONS of paint deco, but we are doing the best we can to keep the price down.) There will be more than one payment option - details to come.

3. Subscriptions will be accepted for 4 weeks from OFFICER LEVEL MEMBERS. You can have multiple subscription. They will ship bundled to save shipping for the subscriber.

4. After 4 weeks subscriptions will no longer be accepted.

5. It is possible there will be SOME individual pieces of SOME of the figures available DOWN THE ROAD, most likely they will be sold for a premium to non-subscribers IF we have them. Final production numbers will be dictated by the number of subscriptions, so these will be LIMITED and will probably bring high prices on the secondary market - even the ones YOU don't like.

NONE of this is set in stone and reflects what I am hearing. These details are ALL subject to change as we move forward.

PLEASE do not share this on the internet. I am going out on a limb and these DETAILS MIGHT CHANGE and probably will

Be nice... please?

P.S. The poll here was NOT a vote for the next batch of sub figures. I hope if you saw the poll, you can see how diverse the wants of the fans are and how difficult it is to please everyone.

Thank you, that's all that I know and it is NOT FOR SURE.


Sometimes Facebook sucks. If you miss the original post made then you have a hard time tracking it down and tend to just read other people's posts "spreading the news". Which is what I did.

Anyway, we'll know more this week and I still say that around $50 with shipping is what we'd have to pay...

Yep I was tracking things down myself and just did the above post on it. Other people got carried away and I missed the actual full post they made because it was in the middle of a 90+ post comment.

Cover Girl looks nice.
I like strawberry blonde for her hair.

I think she looks pretty good! I like that the hair isn't straight red, something to differentiate her from Scarlett and Sparta is smart.

I was really hoping for new hair. I do not like that hair, just something about that "wind swept look". New hair or previous hair from another figure would look better. I do like the hair color. It is a welcome change, but seeing an additional head with blonde would of been nice. I wonder where the belt is from. It looks good.

Well this was what I expected and was the last thing I wanted from Covergirl, Am I mistaken or is this a repaint of a con figure? I was kind of sleeping the past 2 years on those. I think I would have been happy with any of the other 25+ options people were speculating rather than this. My count now is 3 I want, 2 I am on the fence and 5 I could care less. Not a good ratio and at this point I think it's safe to say I am expoloring other means for the 3 I want.

Pretty much what I expected. Nothing really mind blowing. Though, really how could there be?

Out of all the figs, this is the one I wanted most, despite haveing just made a nice custom of her. The parts are perfect. Her hair is a bit on the orange side, but some folks have said it's a half way point between her redish brown of the original and the blonde of RoC and her firist animated incarnation, so I can live with it.

Theory: Cover Girl in RoC was played by a blonde and killed eight seconds into the movie. ARAH had her as a blonde, only to return as a red head for the series. Maybe there will be a new Cover Girl in the second movie who returns as a red head? Just an idea.

Yeah it's straight up Sparta:

Just an added jacket and belt. I had hopes they'd work in a different torso. Maybe movie Cover Girl's torso with the rest of those parts and a different head would have been impressive.
