sorry here is a better pic from the email.

Am I missing something here? That's the same photo we've been seeing for a week now. Wasn't it determined that those parts match Rescue Captain America?

Yup, the rumors were right. Looks like a kitbash of Stalker, RnR, and Flint's shotty.

Love the brown highlights (neckerchief, gloves, probably boots and web gear like RnR). Can't wait to order!!!

Sweet, just got my e-mail too! I'll be ordering that!!!

I don't see it.


EDIT: Nevermind. There he is.

Is that a head sculpt we've already gotten?


I was planning on passing on this, but he looks good and fits in with the more realistic military design I like so well from Sideshow.

I will go on record as saying I was wrong I was thinking we wouldnt get a figure this year.

Teemu8 you were correct

Is there beret black or brown? Like the head sculpt...where is it from. At least it doesn't look like Don Johnson...LOL...never liked him doing Falcon's voice.

Davestro
06-22-2012, 06:15 PM
Okay, yeah it's the Cap head. Still looks good and obscure enough for Joe fans who don't collect 1/6th Marvel figures. Can't wait to order...I'm assuming it will be direct bill and no preorder...

Lame!? Not hardly. He looks like he'd look perfect beside Stalker, Dusty and Rock N Roll.

Too bad I don't own Stalker or Dusty. :(

Looks like another nice Sideshow figure.

When can you order him?

Looks like RnR without a beard.

Not too bad at all. This was a figure that I had on my list of possibles. All the parts were available and all it would take is a new head. You could even use the same green beret as Stalker.

I had assembled all the parts to do a Lt. Falcon already. The only thing I'll swap out is an ALICE pack with the radio in it which I picked up several years ago.

My first guess was a Crimson Viper. Kinda figured that would be a shoe in. Kinda glad it isn't an army builder. My wallet's a little sore from sending out funds to someone for the Joe Con exclusives.

I am looking forwards to seeing how their new order system is going to be. No longer doing pick up at the SDCC and it gets mailed out to everyone. I'm sure that'll make life easier for their team.

That head sculpt looks like Tatum.

Van Hammer
06-22-2012, 08:41 PM
He looks like Channing Tatum.Also I don't like the colours.The original colours would have look a lot nicer.

Falcon's baby brother? Oh well, he can hang with regular Rock N Roll head.

Van Hammer

His uniform looks a lot like Jammer's uniform.

They're using the same tigerstripe colors they used with Sideshow Stalker which replaces the traditional black with a very piney dark green.

I tried to emulate that with my Stalker 4" custom.

can someone pm with how i can get one if im not attending sdcc? PLEASE

Steevy Maximus
06-22-2012, 09:41 PM
I like.

Didn't expect to see Falcon get a Sideshow figure at all, and I like what I'm seeing.

We'll see how the finances are and how available he ends up being.

Goes up for pre-order first week of July according to Facebook page. SSC usually does an "Attendee" and "Non-Attendee" version, normally the same figure. The Non-Attendee ships 1-2 weeks after SDCC, so attendees get it first.

I hope their is no "Attendee EX version"...that would suck for non-attendees like me.

RolandofGilead

Sideshow usually sells the same version to attendees and non- attendees alike.

I passed on Duke and Flint because I didn't care for the head sculpts/portraits but this Falcon looks great! I'm in and eagerly waiting pre ordering one.

I'm not gonna lie this does look good but I don't know if my wallet can handle another purchase at this moment but who knows I may get lucky and get a good day at work and earn some extra cash. I am curious as to what accessories he will come with and if there is an exclusive version of him or just this version in the preview.

Woundwort
06-23-2012, 01:47 AM
Well, since Falcon is my favorite Joe, I'll more than likely be getting this one!!!

They gave him a pretty nice looking headsculpt... I must say.

Gatilho

Looks excellent. He could have a radio, though, that would make him even better.

there won't be an "attendee" version this year

Everyone orders online and they ship out before the show

Im ordering him as soon as he goes live. awesome looking fig. Ok teemu8, since youve been spot on, what are we gonna see at sdcc for joe? Destro? Baroness? others? Thanks man.

I love that Falcon. Great use of parts too.

Davestro
06-23-2012, 09:45 AM
So no attendee version? Works better in my opinion - everyone gets him, they get their money on a simple kit bash of several already made Joes, and everyone is happy. We can't all SDCC exclusives be like this?

I hate their bulk emailing schedule. I have not gotten anything and cant find anything on their website.

Just like The Hawk, Duke , Flint, Beachhead, and now Falcon i cant afford lol. This is Really nice too, glad they made him !

Yeah I'm using the no new joes for 8 months as my excuse to buy more sideshow joes. Whatever works.

I wonder what the exclusive part will be for Falcon? A head/portrait, a helmet or a rifle?

ultra8294
06-23-2012, 04:16 PM
The entire Falcon figure IS the exclusive!
Can't get it anywhere else but SideShow.com

I'm absolutely drooling with anticipation for what both baroness and destro will look like. Wondering if They will have a new bigger body type for destro?

Hopefully they are working on the timing so this doesn't drop when the Arashikage Temple does (shipping next 30 days)...that would be $300 + ~$160 for Falcon...

He looks great. I can't wait to get him. My only nit picks would be that I wish they included a bare set of hands, and a knife instead of the tomahawk.

I wonder if Storm Shadows hands are the same skin tone?

Probably going to wind up passing on this - the first individual Joe character I won't get. It's not because it looks bad - it looks great. But the prices on these are starting to rise to the point where I'm only going to get characters I have a deep affection for - and Falcon probably doesn't make that cut. But again, I think it looks fantastic.

Damnit lol going to be an expensive year of con stuff...I guess that tells me the future of things...all the good stuff is going to be non-normal line related and be nothing but exlcusives. May be time to quit the 3 3/4 retail lines of Joe all together now...and just plan on the good 3 3/4 12 inch figures from SDCC and Joe con....since Hasbro has shunned the good stuff...
