Footloose 25th Anniversary GIJOE Collectors Club Figure

He arrived today - just opened him - looks great will post pictures in a bit!

Nice! And you're in England too! Maybe I'll get mine soon!

Prepare to get front paged once you post your pics...

Photo's!








Will do more later... just got in from work... wife grumpy that I ran off to photograph toys...

Thanks for posting up, I'm going to front page you, any more images you could provide would be great.

Really? First one goes international? Actually came in a package also, last years was mailed in the box only.

England before America? I don't recall GI Joe being called a real british hero before.

Congrtulations! I can't wait to get mine.

Glad you got it so soon, but how the heck did it get across the pond before it got across the Midwest?

Congrats!

Hackers have my credit card info!

OOH NOOESS! you should have cancelled it when you were told to do so..

Yeah... odd it arrived Anglahnd first lol...apparenlty they have some special clout now...maybe that will get em Retaliation toys...oops too soon?

Fish and chips and cheers to you!

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!

wish i would of gotten one ...

More photo's!










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.

Looks good, I really like the head-sculpt.

Cool that you got it in.

Despite that Footloose is just a repaint of Mission Brazil Claymore I can't wait to get mine. Funny- I would rather have Footloose anyway.

You bugger!! I'm a Limey, yet I'm sans Footloose... grrrr ;)

Nice! He's looking great. I like him more than I thought I would, and the red hair doesn't seem as radiant as before. I think I'll keep him after all.

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!

Maybe you just weren't Limey enough?

Did you guys notice the added wrist articulation?

Awesome! Thanks for the pics. I hope mine arrives sooner rather than later.

That's the way it's always been.

Except this time it is backwards- lol- we got Claymore before Footloose.

I'll be changing out his assault rifle with a more vintage accurate Rifle (which he originally should of gotten)

Awesome!!! I cant wait to get mine.

ENGLAND before Texas???

WTH?

Looks great though

Congrats Blot! The Fig looks great!

Looks great!
You want to trade him? check-out my B/S/T's list and let me know! (j/k)LOL!
Congratulations!

Is it too late to join to get him?

yeah, cause that would have fixed all problems....

Yup

Deadline was March 16

thats a great idea. where can i get an m-16 for him?

Damn!

No, it is not too late.

As per the message sent out by the club yesterday...
You can go here to sign up and you will be eligible to order the extra Footloose or Man of Evil figures from this year's runs when they are put online.

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.

Hey Blot -- Thanks for sharing the great pictures. I hope I get my Footloose soon.

Very cool figure. I want one.

My pleasure! It's great to be able to get involved with the sort of frothing and excitement that we over here in the UK usually get about 3 weeks too late!

super cool. im waiting patiently for mine. i hope the paint apps are all good.

Has anyone received mail from the club regarding about this figure? I don't?

Yes, but to what regards are you curious about?

Yay! Can't wait to get mine so I can "kick off my Sunday shoes!"

Congrats!

No, I just curious.

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.
