Much as I want 25th style MASK figures, I don't think the sub is the place for it. I love MASK, but not all Joe collectors do, and I think there'd be mass revolt.
You guys are crazy! There's a ton of ARAH left, and still a bunch of ARAH-era characters that never made it into figure form (hello again, Pythona) or into the modern era (that Marvel #27 3-pack with Classified NEEDS to be made into PoC-quality modern era figs!). A ton of Sunbow to still be had, too, including Sparks, gray Breaker (with a new headsculpt, please), blue Grunt, Mara (in her Cobra wet-suit -- how awesome would that be?), MASS Device Cover Girl, and I say this seriously, bikini Baroness. Diver Lady Jaye, too. Plus, I know we'd all love to see some re-dos, such as Tele-Viper and anybody with a slit wrist. While I can appreciate the impulse to spread stuff out so it can last, the truth of the matter is that no line or sub lasts forever, and more often than not, favorites don't get made. I'd rather they spend 3-5 years plowing through ARAH updates. Who knows? Maybe the ARAH kids would stick around after that. Maybe not. But there's just as great a chance that they'd bail regardless due to collector fatigue, disinterest, etc. Look at MOTUC. It's their anniversary year and they got their lowest sub rate yet. A lot of that, I think, is because they're stretching out the line with non-MOTU stuff. I agree. Except Repeater counts. If you use the Zartan disguise version. I just meant that between Hasbro and the Club they have all the time in the world to get decades of re-imaginings and updates out there.

This is definitely true, but I think that if the leaked list is right, they are doing a pretty good job of it. This year they have Covergirl and Jinx, next year they can do maybe Cross Country and Iceberg. All the while throwing in four or five guys like Topside. I mean, it's not like there were a ton of people calling out for Topside, but to those of us that want every ARAH character to be remade, he's great.

The whole thing will go south though when they get to the Zombie Viper update and the designer's pet ferret mysteriously goes missing. |

I really think it would be awesome if the Club would do more figures like Extreme or Sigma 6 or Adventure Team, etc. I would love some updated SpyTroops/VvV characters.
The new Iron Klaw looks awesome. Seriously, who doesn't want to add that guy to their Joeverse? And who among us wouldn't like to add some cool characters from the crazy sized Joes of the past. If they made cool 1:18 versions of Lt. Stone, Harpoon, Black Dragon, and Ballistic/Eagle Eye, who wouldn't want those "new" characters to use with their Joes? Who wouldn't want to add some SKAR army builders to give the Joes a new enemy to fight? From Sigma 6, I'd love some nice 1:18 versions of Lockdown and Desert Wolf, and a lot of the others. And I'd love some updated versions of Dart, Barrel Roll, Big Brawler, Crosshair, and a few of the other SpyTroops/VvV guys. It would almost be like getting new characters for our Joeverses, but not just guys we've never heard of. And I always like getting new characters... it certainly beats repeats of Duke and Snake-Eyes.

IMO Jinx and Covergirl only count if they are decent ARAH updates though... not like a Helix repaint for Jinx or something. I guess they could just repaint the Joecon Sparta for Covergirl though; except they better give her the DTC Covergirl Jacket.

i like this figure but at the same time i dont, its weird as i almost feel this way about all the joeclub figs to this point, i feel like all of them are missing something, they all look so plain to me. maybe its a lack of accesories or paint detail, im not sure, but this fig doesn't excite me much as the red weapon thing is weird and the body is just destros, not too exciting either. the head is nice but it looks a bit small for the body, idk, but im not as excited to pull the trigger on purchasing these as i was at first, i will have to wait for the rest to be shown to make my desicion.

How do I get this figure? Do I have to have a sub or can I just buy him online?

I would have to get a second job and sell a kidney if they started doing MASK figures as well. LOL
