Please in your figure ideas put 1/18th or 1/6 scale so we all know what figures as fans we'd like to see as a membership figure for renewing our yearly membership. I'm starting this thread in hopes the club will maybe weigh in, As our membership figures have only gotten better with each passing year.
For Club Membership incentive figures here's my choices. 1/6 (12") G.I.JANE with adventure team add on gear Scarlett I'd like her to have her original ARAH uniform, weapons (crossbow, pistol, slingshot, throwing stars). G.I.JOE Grand Slam, with Original cloth uniform with red padding would like club to use kfg hands or trigger finger hands. Grand Slams add on could be the J.U.M.P. Jet Pack with Lazer Gun attachment. and add on uniform could be cloth uniform with silver padding. M.A.R.S. Weapons expert for club's other mars/man of evil offerings, could come in standard troop builder uniform or boxers. His add on could be a Retro AT era weapon in new colors or original weapons. DR. Venom.....Hands down one of my most wanted to see 12" figures would be Dr. Monev.....A.K.A. Dr. Venom/Enemy of the Adventure Team, he could come in original club specific uniform and his add on could be blueprints for the brainwave scanner, and lab uniform/ and Hazmat gear! 12" Steel Brigade Figure This would really be a cool membership figure. Add on possibilities are endless! The club could even do an Adventure Team era Steel Brigade. 12" Intruder: Give the Intruders a revamp, these were the original Enemies of the Adventure Team, and I for one would love to see an update, if they're aliens give them removable masks with an alien face. 12" "Super Joe"......Adventure Team Space Explorer, this could work hand in hand with the Intruder storyline, and open up a new chapter for Mr. Sebastian Gorman, the Black Dragon leader and head of Terron Industries. Adventure Team add on uniforms/M.A.R.S. add on uniforms. Something I'd also like to see for our 12" collectors would also be ways we could troop build our collections

1:6 Crimson Shadow Guard
The club really has a great opportunity here because it is a section of the GIJOE universe that has seen little to no development. They already have the regular CG, making it in black should be a no brainer. Then they could develop their own stories around the concept. Another thing they could do is a series of helmets. They could do just the standard GIJOE 82 helmet, the standard Cobra helmet, and many more. Instead of an entire uniform, just do helmets. For 1:18 scale Shooter, she is official Larry Hama canon. Super Trooper Pale Peony Fridge. Just call him number 72 to get around that copyright mess.

Beyond that, even if you rename him, the primary issue isn't the name. You can call him whatever you want. The real issue is that pesky "likeness" issue that would have to be resolved. You can't make a figure of a celebrity without paying him. There is no way to get around that just by renaming the figure. It would still be obvious you are remaking William Perry. |

The name isn't a copyright issue, it's a trademark issue. But that shouldn't be a concern because unlike Slaughter where another company controls that trademark for the name I don't think there is a third party that holds the right to use the name "The Fridge" for toys that would cause an issue.

You could make a larger generic football player figure, leave off the number 72 or reverse it and it would be fine, the club is not going to do that though, because they are not a 3rd party type of organization. The thread is asking for ideas. I gave one, and I know it is probably not likely but it is better than suggesting a Honda Lou West figure (Even though I want one)

If it does not end up a convention theme, Cobra La could continue to trickle out as membership figures like Pythona.
First, Golobulus Second, a Cobra Commander, which could be done in a few ways. Flashback pre-accident CC, spore affected CC (ultimate CC base, zombie viper arm and leg, new head sculpt), or half-snake bendable figure to wrap around Roadblock. I would take any , if not all, of these. |

Trademark, copyright, you know what I meant. Don't get technical. It's early yet.

Fans want a figure of the Fridge, a generic football character is not the Fridge any more than making a generic soldier would be an update of any other character we are waiting for. |

I agree Fridge is an ideal choice. My point was that the name isn't a potential roadblock in making that happen. The club can't get around the fact that the character is based on a celebrities likeness.

Except it could be painted and customized to look like the Fridge with minimal effort.

The Fridge head has already been made by BFS and is probably just waiting to be mass produced. We need that head
