Is it just me, or do the Action Force figures always end up having a more simple, cartoonish look to them than the rest of the club's stuff?

So what? You can say that for a ton of club figures. Big Boa, Covergirl, Footloose, Dial-Tone, Sgt. Major, Freestyle, Bombstrike, Oktober Guard, Cobra De Aco, Sparta, Claymore, Manleh, Redmack, Shimik, Topson, etc. How about all the rare ARAH figures? A figure doesn't stop "counting" just because it's expensive.

Yes, I should have said "consecutive weekdays." I don't expect them to post on Saturday but if they get Dojo up on Monday I will count it.

Here's a full listing of all the Action Force characters who received code names who weren't straight re-releases of US characters. There were also generic characters released in 1982 I didn't list. Many of them are wrongly recorded on Blood for the Baron with their specialties rather than code names, see the first parenthetical with quotations. Many were also released in Germany and I threw in their names from that for those interested. So far the Club has released 1/5 Special weapons force (Bombardier), 1/11 SAS (Blades), 0/5 Q-Force, 1/6 Space Force (if you count Dollar Force Duke as Moondancer), 4/12 Z-Force (Skip, Quarrel, Jammer, Gaucho) and 0/10 Red Shadows (Total 7/50 unique Action Force Characters) in modern form. Special Weapon Force (Unreleased) - Boffin - Bombardier - Fixer - Lightening - "Sniper" SAS (SATT in Germany) - 1983 - "Attack Trooper" Trooper - Barracuda ("Frogman") (Also released in Germany) - Beaver - Blades - Chopper ("Pilot") (Also released in Germany) - Eagle ("Squad Leader") (Adler in Germany) - Hunter - Quickfire ("Commando") (Schnellfeuer in Germany) - Sparrow Hawk (Falke in Germany) - Stake-Out (Seewolf in Germany) - Stalker (Snake Eyes identical) (Pirschjager in Germany) Q-Force (TSATT in Germany) - 1983 - Dolphin - Leviathan ("Deep Sea Defender") (Leguan in Germany) - Phones ("Sonar Officer") (Phoner in Germany) - Shark ("Aqua Trooper") (Hai in Germany) - Surfer ("Sea Skimmer") Space Force (WATT in Germany) - 1983 - Blast Off ("Patroller") (Meteor in Germany) - Hawkwind ("Security Trooper") (Condore in Germany) - Hot Jets ("Pilot") (Njet Jet in Germany) - Kiwi ("Engineer") - Moondancer - Sky Raider ("Commander") (Himmelssturmer in Germany) Z-Force (ATT in Germany) - 1983 - Skip ("Captain") (Kapitan in Germany) - "Commander" (mail away repaint of 82 figure which never received a code name) - Gaucho - "Infantryman" Trooper (Spurhund in Germany) - Jammer - Doc ("Medic") - Scout ("Minesweeper") - Quarrel (Armbrust in Germany) - Breaker ("Radio Operator") (Brecher in Germany) - Tracker ("Sapper") (Polizest in Germany) - Steeler (repaint of US Steeler) - Wheels (Rader in Germany) Generic Action Force post 1984 Ton-Up (identical rock and roll) Red Shadows (Die Terror-Bande in Germany)- 1983 - Baron Ironblood (Baron Eisenblut in Germany) - Black Major (Schwarzer Major in Germany) - Kraken - Muton (Robott in Germany) - Red Jackal - Red Laser (Roter Laser in Germany) - Red Shadow (Roter Schatten in Germany) - Red Vulture (Roter Lenken in Germany) - Red Wolf - Skeletron

So, the Club generally gives out hints as to what the 13th figure is going to be? When does that usually happen?

Anybody want to throw around guesses, then? I know Tiger Force Jinx was highly rumored...think this will be the line she makes an appearance?

If its a female, they will give us that clue. If no clue, its not a female.

I was only expecting the Club to make the Action Force figures that were repaints of Hasbro moulds. But now Captain Skip is coming, it seems that any AF character is game. Which is good, but they seem to be concentrating on Z Force, except for Blades and Bombadier. I am hoping for either Z Force Doc, Scout or Wheels next.
Regarding Big Ben, he was a GI Joe character first, in the Marvel comics and toys. Its only cause he is from England and a former SAS member the Club made him SAF.

At last, a cool 'modern' Skip figure!! I would have preferred the removable beret look used for Jammer, but he's still a great looking figure. Be nice to see an Eagle at some point too, with Airtight head and removable gas mask he'd be an easy figure to update.
