Wow You guys have been busy. I'm glad to see the new faces and the by-standers who have joined in the conversation.
First off Claymore is a bit of a let down, but I guess I'm only 25% disappointed. The rest of him looks great. He's actually being made, which is a Dream come true for me. I think with all of us we know what is official canon and what is not. So first off it's your Joeverse you do what you want, but I think for us it's important to know what is official and what is not. So DDP is not considered part of the official Joe Universe, but those characters are still valid. ie Kamakura, Barrel-Roll; Overlord; Skull-Buster; INterrogator; Dart. BUt IDW is barely related to the Marvel/IDW continuation. And like what was mentioned Declassified (DDP) was done by HAMA, so it sort of clears up some of the history of the Joes. So I can't completely discount DDP. Particularly since it was just a continuation of the original Marvel run as far as how the Joes advanced in rank and position.

I'm so excited we're getting him, and I"m pumped about the head sculpt, but I saw those pants and I was like: "Really? The Club had to go with the old cheeta print camo?" But I don't think it really looks so bad, and it might be fine for the desert. DDP is a conundrum. Hasbro has disavowed it, but it's kept on using some of the characters... which means they haven't completely disavowed it altogether.

Yeah well I think the characters are valid and in some cases is the only incarnation beside the toy. Like Claymore for instance. Overkill, Overlord, Starduster?

I dont like the filecards on POC wave 4 they're doing the Character/situation tie in write ups, its good for story but does nothing for the characters. This makes these cards obsolete whenever the next version of the figure comes out. IMHO.

So here's a question:
We've all been begging for Claymore for years... and now we're getting him. Good work by the Club. So now that we're getting him, who would you like to see from the Club next? They've done Starduster, and now Claymore. Who should be next? It's quite possible we'll see a Night Force tribute or a Sky Patrol tribute next year. And that would be awesome either way. I'd also really like to see Super Trooper, Rapid Fire, and the BTR exclusive character/figure: Hollow Point. If they could bring us those 3 guys, that would be awesome. What do y'all think?

HA HA HA
You've begged for them for years, and I truely hope the Club (or Hasbro) will give them to you. They would make a great set... how many characters make up the October Guard? How many figures would it be?
