Check back here for real time updates of the Club Panel from Joecon 2012! Starts at 4:00 PM Eastern, 3 Central.

We will update this post, you must be reading it from the full story page, not the front page of HissTank. So click in here to see it live.

EDIT - Pics added!


_________________________

Getting ready to start.

Starting with an apology for all the problems this year with club.

I guess its a long apology. :) Destro may be taking pics tho, nothing else yet.

Showing how they reconstructed the artwork for carded Footloose, before and after.

Doing the same for artwork for 12 inch figure.

Concepts and Uniform break down for 12 inch figure.

Showing sketches for the box art.

Showing more unused art for the 3 3/4 set

Showing Deco Mock Ups for the sets

OMG Modern Era Destro's Dominator Coming!

Just kidding, wanted to wake you guys up.

Talking about various processes and qualities of the club....

Yes folks, we are known for our in depth quality reporting here, for sure.

Further clarifying the processes and qualities of the club experience.

Showing concept art for a 12 inch club figure, Conrad of Action. Russian Polar Assault Adventure Team figure. Adventure Team covert operative.

Looks nice for what it is.

ICEBERG - Next Year's Figure - 3 3/4th's Figure that is.

Still testing store system for subscription service.

Almost ready.

You can pay all up front, or 3 payments.

New shipping box - They say its great and will keep figures safe, very sturdy.

Production of FSS will be by demand.

Announcing a second service....

Series 2 Club Subscription

First figure - Dragonsky Oktober Guard

Big Bear Oktober Guard

Night Force Lt. Falcon

And that ends the presentation.

QNA starts now.

13th figure - not announcing, first person it ships to can tell everyone.

Various questions and answers about things most here won't care about.

Price of Subscription - can't give official answer because price of production could go up before it goes live.

Wrapping up....

And done!

JoeMama:
AHG! Can't wait!
Zarana:
Ask a hard hitting question, like can we expect the club to provide as a heart wrencher in the near future?
cobracommander1:
Seriously, when will Iceburg get a figure? Are they holding him back for some top secret reason?

also, FSS....haha just kidding....
RogueWingnut:
Do they have any legitimate updates to the CC issues?
Are they responding to the many complaints of bad customer service?
RogueWingnut:
Are they going to be as attentive to Joe Collectors as they appear to be for TFCC members?
mightyjl:
of course it's a long apology, they have a lot of things to be sorry for.
RogueWingnut:
Are they going to improve their communications to members, ex-members, and in general?

How many of these good questions are we never going to get answered.

All of them and many many more.

Don't forget to ask about popcorn!
cobracommander1:
are they going to wait until everyone's memberships expire before the FSS starts so they can get an additional 42.00 from everyone?
Xenos:
In what way is the Dominator coming?

Send em to Destro
Get the Hot Lights out

cobracommander1:
I am hoping they tell his the reason Metal Head was not included in the Iron Grenadier set is because he is the Bonus figure in the FSS.

a man can dream....

I can send them along, but don't hold your breath. Curious if anyone else will voice similar concerns. The Botcon panel like this, no one said a word about any of the issues.

You have to have an active membership the entire run of the FSS. So even if they start it tomorrow, you will have to resubscribe or forfit the remaining figures and bonus figure.
RogueWingnut:
What updates do you have on your security systems?
No Comment. But you can start paying for FSS

What about the complaints about customer service?
........did you see our new box?
sbartek1974:

Lody:

Tonys keeping us up to date.
Xenos:
I hope the NF Falcon isn't the cancelled 25th one. I hope they use the Footloose body and the Marauder's head.
Zombie F Body:
All these sub-team Falcons and no decent regular version! Hopefully being saved for retail? simple repaint just throw the BBTS head on the Footloose body, paint as appropriate, simmer and serve!
Black Swan:
Iceberg?!?

Blah...
sithewok:
So, did they show pictures of these announced figures? I subscribed after footloose (unfortunately, as I still need him...), so I should be set for Iceberg, right?
Nirvana:
Thank goodness they are already arranging FSS Wave 2. The price and shipping costs that they told us about with Wave 1 will make Wave 2 even faster out the door.




Oh wait... :P

I know! I wonder if it's even more wonderful than the shipping box we got shown last time so many months ago! ;)

iceberg
maybe once i know it will look like
Nirvana:
I suspect, even without pic yet, that Iceberg has a decent chance of getting the canceled Arctic Duke jacket. lol.

Huh? Gonna sit around and check the stock market before settling on a price now? This'll never get done.
RogueWingnut:
Nothing....Nothing at all....Lody I'm ashamed of you!
Nemesis*Prime:
'Production of FSS will be by demand.'

Meaning, what? The entire line will be produced considering the demand or each pair of figures. Cause considering what they're offering it's pretty obvious right now which ones will be in demand and which ones will not. Cause if that's the case I expect demand to frigging skyrocket when Big Boa's turn comes up.
Sciencefriction:
Sounds like more b/s from the club, I know they are trying but I'm sticking with Ret. I hope there is some good news that comes out of this though, I'm still interested.. somewhat.

Yeah, if you missed the 2012 Footloose you'll be a member for the 2013 Iceberg.

Good score with Iceberg, now if we could just get a Cross Country and a decent Frostbite. I can wait on Toolbooth and Keel Haul.

Also hoping the 2nd FSS has some classics like Raptor, Fast Draw, Muskrat, etc like previously posted.

So for some clarification

The cost of the FSS was based on prices from last year. Since they are producing on demand, those prices were never set in stone thus they need to go back and see if the price will be honored or needs to be renegotiated

Also-if you do not buy the FSS and onky want 1, 2 or 3 figures, you are going to pay more for them and they will be severly limited. They have said that since the begining.
