Looks good actually! Might change his webgear and wished his outfit color would be slightly darker but cool none the less! I really dig those forearm sculpts as well as the articulated wrists. Hope they use these parts again in the future!

The only reason I can think of for getting him so early, is that I bought two years worth of subscription to the club just after Dialtone arrived.

I can't wait to get mine in the mail. Crazy how you got yours so fast. You must pay for the first class. I won't do it it just because even with first class the club is slow. I'm sure they will be selling these carded at Joe con. Golden Ticket Time!

The club email already referenced that extra figures will be for sale on the store website so they must have made plenty extra this year.

Blot
04-18-2012, 12:47 PM
I opted for the cheapest uk shipping... which is still horrendously overpriced. I'm chuffed to bits that he's arrived.

First fig I've opened in ages, and he doesn't disappoint. The backpack is kind of cumbersome, but with jiggling sits ok, and there's a little slot in the centre to hold his torch... strapping on the backpack to hold 'stuffs' but can't see how anything would fit. Missile Launcher is nice. Pistol and Machette don't really have anywhere to go. Helmet is a good fit, and the face and headsculpt are great.

Not sure about the 4 leafed clover patch - mine looks a little faded.

Overall though (griping aside) he's a great figure. Well worth my club subscription!

The Duke that's going to go to the discount stores will have a good M-16. It originally came in the Duke/Red Star two pack. Or, just go to Marauder.

The Footloose looks great. I'm surprised that he has the extra wrist articulation. I hope mine comes soon.

There's no guarantee that they will sell the extras-esp after what happened last year and people didn't receive Dialtone and they already sold through the extra stock

I wish they had used a different torso that one is way to big for the web gear. His legs look too small and his shoulders are to broad. Th dusty/pit commando or ROC desert ambush duke torsos would have been so much better.

Despite it having Footloose's picture. The club clearly states that if you order today, it will be for the 2013 membership figure. The deadline for the 2012 (Footloose) is over now.

Also, I can't believe that the figure was proven to be received in the U.K. first. That is even with using the cheapest method to send via International Economy mail per BLOT. I am within 2 hours of the club headquarters and it has not shown up yet. I wonder if fellow members in Dallas received theirs yet? Interesting.

Why does collecting gijoe seem to be such a pain in the ass!!!!!!! Retailers hardly carry anything, all the good shit ends up at ross stores that are not in ny, and the club can't get their shit up.

Despite it having Footloose's picture. The club clearly states that if you order today, it will be for the 2013 membership figure. The deadline for the 2012 (Footloose) is over now.

Here is the email from the collector's club which clearly states exactly what I said.


Hello all!

We have now taken the next step in getting the store fully online. Since you are getting this email, that means your account is in good standing and you don't need to do anything with your membership until you get further instructions from the new store.

What we do need is for you to spread the word that anyone whose membership has lapsed and wants to get back in the club starting with the May issue, needs to join by this Friday April 20th. They can do this from any of the regular links at GIJoeClub.com or by clicking here. Anyone starting now will receive the free figures offered for 2013.

Please tell them to go to the store, put the membership in their basket and check out. If they had a log-in it is still valid and they can use the retrieval function to get their password. They will be eligible to order the extra Footloose or Man of Evil figures from this year's runs when they are put online.

If you want multiple memberships, remember that you can only have one membership per email (same for any Transformers Club memberships). Every email address can only have one membership attached to it whether it is a Joe or TF membership.

I know you are all wanting to order the exclusive figures as well, but there are still a couple of known bugs we have to get worked out in order for us to add products to the new store. Currently, the store can only be used to join the Club. We are shooting for the first week in May to have these items online.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your support!

Brian

Believe the helmet and head were already offered as casts last year after the Claymore figure came in the con set.

Also, does it kind of piss off anyone else that they threatened us with this "hard deadline" and if we didn't send our money right away after having our accounts stolen from that we wouldn't receive this figure, but now miraculously you'll be able to order it from the club store well past said "hard deadline".

They haven't shipped all the figures (i.e. they weren't all shipped on the same day). They started shipping them. It's possible they started with international orders or it could just be random how they are doing it. I'm sure we'll see some US sightings soon.

They usually ship from Dallas/Ft. Worth every year. What does the return address say? You would assume that the Texans would get it first. Perhaps, they sent international first a week or so before the USA?

Here is the Return Address:

No, it doesn't. That has always been the norm. And that was still the deadline for the "free" figure. They always put any extras up in the store for purchase, but after last year it seems they're not going to put them up until after the deadline now. To get the store one, you would have to first buy a membership, then pay additionally to buy the figure.

The "hard deadline" was simply for those that wanted to be guaranteed a Footloose figure, without paying more for it. As we seen last year, there is no guarantee you will be able to get one from the Store.

My guess is that they sent out the international ones first so that they would all be hitting around the same time. I expect most of the people in the US will get their's within the next week.

Also, maybe they have to use 1st class mail for international, but they use a lower class for domestic.

The club email already referenced that extra figures will be for sale on the store website so they must have made plenty extra this year.

It's probably because a lot of people didn't renew after all the problems compared to last year's numbers.

Congrats to all the UKers that have Footloose already. He really does look awesome. But knowing that international club members have the figure already means mine had better show up soon! I mean, they practically had to pass over Georgia on their way to the UK from Texas. Come on man! :)

OK they said they started shipping these on 4/13. It is now 4/23 and only 2 people have these and both are overseas. How much you want to bet the club doesn't even have them yet? Even shipping them bulk/3rd class more people in the US should have them now. I think they shipped out a couple samples they had in order to try and drum up some good press.

That's just a really great looking figure. The only thing I would change is that I wish they gave him the M-16 from the Duke/Red Star pack. Seeing as though I'll be ending up with a ton of those from the discount store wave, it's really not a huge issue.

Like Xenos said the Duke/Red Star comic pack, but that one is getting kind of expensive lately. You might have better luck, or atleast cheaper luck picking up one of the o-ring comic packs from back around 2004/05/06. Check on yojoe.com, but it seems like nearly every set had atleast one classic vietnam era M-16 in it.

Y'know, re-reading the filecard for Footloose I suddenly realized what a subtle "take that" it is to Hasbro, assuming Mr. Hama wrote it.

As I recall, the story was when Footloose was introduced to Mr. Hama, Larry's comment was, "The team already has an infantryman, his name is Grunt. Why not just make this guy an updated version of Grunt?" Larry at the time basically envisioned that the team wasn't supposed to be that big. Obviously, being somewhat naive in the ways of marketing toys at the time (IE "make more characters so you can sell more characters"), Larry was swiftly edumacated. But now when you read Footloose's filecard and get to the part where he has the epiphany about the "randomness of his existence" it becomes a whole heck of a lot funnier.

Though I also find it amusing that in a way Larry's suggestion was prophetic, because eventually they DID of course start "updating" characters as they went along.

Actually this is a really good figure, my brother got his today and I was really impressed actually it is a far better figure than Dial Tone was, I wasn't crazy about DT's head but overall better figure.

The arms and head are sculpted in a skin-tone color that is always a plus. I really hate painted heads and hands, the paint tends to glop and run, and kudos to Hasbro for the change on the wrists.

On the last newsletter I received (March), the province & postal code were missing from my mailing address. This is the equivalent of the state and zipcode missing from a US mailing address......I am actually surprised that it even reached me. I have emailed the GIJCC, and they have notified their mailig company, so hopefully the issue has been remedied. I want my Footloose!!

Mine arrived yesterday, as well. First thing I did was to swap the head for the Footloose head in the desert 5-pack. This head sits up higher on the neck to compensate for the straps of the web gear and the face looks a lot more pleasant than the one on the Claymore repaint. I never was a fan of that new head sculpt...

This one is already at 150.00+ Dollars. GI JOE 2012 Fan Club Exclusive Footloose figure mint in sealed bag! Mailer box | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/GI-JOE-2012-Fan-Club-Exclusive-Footloose-figure-mint-in-sealed-bag-Mailer-box-/130686074651?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item1e6d7f3f1b)

I wonder if it is "scalpers" trying to stock up for later in the year when Footlose goes all dialtone. That is a lot to spend when you could join the club for 40 and then buy an extra from the store.

On the club website it says the were going to be on cards??

There will be carded ones probably available @ joecon.



These cost 40.00 plus the cost of Membership, and they're not even on cards? What a rip off! OH plus your credit card info gets stolen, NICE!

No the $44 is the cost of the membership and they will send u the figure "free". The $44 u pay gets u the monthly magazine and the free figure.

I live in Canada, and my newsletter has been consistantly late, and I am worried my figure will be too. On the last newsletter I received (March), the province & postal code were missing from my mailing address. This is the equivalent of the state and zipcode missing from a US mailing address......I am actually surprised that it even reached me. I have emailed the GIJCC, and they have notified their mailig company, so hopefully the issue has been remedied. I want my Footloose!!

I hear ya Snow Wolf. I still haven't received my March or April newsletter yet either. yet on my envelope for my last newsletter I got it had all the info, so I hope I get my Footloose too ...soon.

That really blows my mind. Those people bidding on that could have had him for $42 six weeks ago. Crazy.

I'm guessing anyone that was planning on scalping Footloose just signed up for multiple Club accounts. At least anyone that is any good at scalping would have done that!

eBay buyers tend to be stupid people who don't spend 5 mins googling something for better info. I've seen the Adventure Team Commander/Venom set broken up and listed on eBay many times now. People will bid more money than it costs to buy the full set just for Venom at times because they didn't look up more info on it. And with tax refunds coming in, everything on eBay is more expensive in general because people have extra cash to burn.

It's not $40 plus the club membership. You get a membership and the figure all for $42. For 12 magazines that are kind of entertaining plus an awesome figure, I don't think it's really too bad at all.

I agree considering comic books are about $4 each average. Some may say the magazine sucks but I don't think it's half that mad myself. You multiply the magazine by 12 and get $48 for the year. So I think $44 bucks to be a club member is a pretty good deal. Not only do you get the magazine, free figure, but you also get officer club pricing on all the Joe Con box sets and exclusives.

Hey Snow wolf,

Just an update on my last post. I finally got my March issue of the club mag . All mailing info was correct on the envelope. So we both should see Footloose arrive in Canada soon.

I got mine today. His head has practically no articulation, it would have been nice if they could have done a tad better on that. As is it's just a swivel head. Aside from that he's pretty cool, I like him overall, I might ebay him still.

no, its still a rip off. those 12 magazines are toilet paper and they dont even come on time. i think ive gotten like 2 since december. the figure is cool but 42 bucks is crazy. im gonna ebay mine and get some money as compensation since the club isnt gonna do anything. they suck, their magazine sucks, and they cant handle customer service for shit. thats my take on what happened with me anyways.

If they have extras they will sell them off to members, so there's still that possibility. You could sign up now, insuring you get next year's figure, and hope that they have extras.

Footloose has landed in West Virginia! I was never more excited to get out of the post office and rip open a box in my life. The club really knocked it out of the park with this one. I dare say Footloose is perfect.

I got mine today and have to say i am impressed with my first ever in mail CC fig. I so wish they would utilize his arms on more figures the wrists are perfect for articluation without looking to bulgey. 10 out of 10 for me. very happy with it. with just one very little gripe...wish he would have a sheath on his gear for the knofe and holster for the sidearm.

Got mine in arkansas today. I love the figure even though the hair is a bit too red for my liking. The box he was mailed in is crap. It's all smashed and dented, they might have well sent him in a bubble mailer. Luckily my figure is fine. His heels dug into the file card though..

Footloose has officially made it to Georgia!

I received mine today and although I haven't opened him yet, he looks glorious. :)

oh and I live in northeast GA so the rest of the state should see them soon. also to the original question I saw many posts ago, I joined the club last september.

My daughters and I all got our Footloose figures today, South Carolina.

This is one of the best looking figures I think the club has ever produced and as far as I can tell it is far better than any of the movie figures that are comming out.

I know that is not a fair comparison since I do not have any of the movie figures yet, but I have seen so many pictures of them that they just dont look up to par with Footloose.

You're not wrong. Everything in the monthly publication is on Hiss Tank and other Joe Boards a month or two before the asswipe comes out. It's old news!!

why is everyone who hasnt gotten it yet panicking? its been like 3 days since it really started arriving at peoples house's. they have hundreds and hundreds to send. not to mention the iq of the people sorting it. are you in that much of a rush to put it on your shelf where no one will see it anyways? PATIENCE!

No panicking here wormser. Some of my fellow canucks and I were just discussing how we'll get ours in July b/c everything from the GIJCC takes twice as long to reach us...sort of a running joke.

Oh it will be seen by someone, by a most important person, me. I look at all of my figures before sleep time and I tell them "thank you for picking me", smile and I turn out the light...

I live five miles away and bupkis for me..... how does that work??

More than likely they shipped figures out to the people that live the furthest away first and worked their way closer, at least if they were smart they would. This way everyone would get them relatively at the same time, or around 1 week.

I think there seems to be panicing ALL the time with this sort of thing. Be lucky it is just a once a year thing. I collect MOTUC and people panic like this EVERY MONTH!
