Canuck is eligible. This was decided a long time ago.

To be fair, it's not just them.
It's been acknowledged for YEARS that the ME exclusives (if not the ones before) for Canadian JoeCon were officially granted by Hasbro. But certain individuals at yojoe.com refuse to acknowledge them on equal grounds as other international figures because they aren't 'factory produced' which has led to the continued stigma of them being nothing more than customs spreading through the community. Which isn't helped because of the 100 or 150 sets made each year, almost all are in the hands of Canadians and many of them don't frequent the more active boards to dispel the myth. Then throw in that the Wiki with the information needed to link to dispel said myths was taken offline when the rights to CJC were sold a few years back, and the new owners have done nothing with it. |

All of that was covered. It's just a couple that are ineligible.

I never questioned if he was eligible.
I just was curious about the figure and couldnt find him on yo joe so I thought I would ask.

I think we should go back and question the eligibility of Duke. Clearly he originated outside the world of gijoe as he is a literal piece of trash and belongs in the garbage series poll instead.

Is it because of his white privelage?

I can't argue with YoJoe's logic that a bunch of fans getting together and painting up retail figures does not an official figure make.
The most important factor is that there is nothing preventing any individual from doing the same thing and creating more identical figures. An official figure HAS to be something that a normal person cannot reproduce by themselves in their home at will. A custom figure that Hasbro approves of is still a custom figure. Custom-made and factory-made have distinct meanings that have nothing to do with whether a company considers it legal or not. Last edited by JediJones; 02-19-2017 at 03:17 AM.. |

Since the figures were not created in factorys approved by hasbro they dont share their qualty control standards so they are not willing to licence them.
I think this is more to protect hasbro from getting sued in case the paint has lead and gets people sick.
