Would anyone else support this? Just a straight dupe of the full sized fss. the only problem I can think of is it might step on a character or two from the official line, so if they stick to the newer characters or teams no problems. Maybe just to supplement the con pack. Everyone wants at least one more SAW viper or Toxo Zombie

I don't know. I have been underwhelmed by the club's offerings for the FSS. I think the Kre-O market is too much of a niche to really be supported by us.
What I would really support and get behind would be a trooper builder set not necessarily done by the club perhaps more like the Battleship Kre-O Land Defense Pack. I would really love it if I could buy a set of 3 or 5 troopers with lots of weapons for a reasonable price as long as every figure is a trooper and not a named character. |

^^^^ Agreed. A troop builder pack with CG, Alley Viper, Cobra trooper, Saw Viper, etc. would be fantastic.

Without a doubt, troop builders would be great. I like what Kreo has going on with the TF kreo customisation packs. Single figure packed with an armory and a couple spare arms and legs with different color schemes?
The TF packs don't hang around too long, the Joes would barely be able to hit the shelves. You are right as far as questionable support, but its the only way we are going to get the less well known characters. Pretty sure Ozone and Clean sweep were not at the top of Kreo's to do list. I don't know what the outlay for kreo body parts is, but Lego goes for about $.10 a piece depending on the piece. I haven't seen any newly tooled parts or paint patterns for the con exclusives so there shouldn't be any heavy cost there. I dont know, I just think regardless of the success of the Joe kreo the only way we will get characters like Cesspool and Ice Cream Soldier is by doing FSS or something similar. $10 for a well done and accessorized character we are not likely to get otherwise seems fair. |

I would support this. The great part is that that you can make any number of characters without making any new tooling. They are all the same mold with different paint apps. Troop builder packs would be amazing.

I'm a fan of a FSS, as well as troop builder packs, either thru the club or at retail. Bring 'em on!

If it wasn't insanely high and the stuff they might could make were well done, I would probably buy them.

Less a FSS, more of Cuusoo type project.

If the Joe Kre-O line keeps doing good I doubt Hasbro will let the club do very much with it. It's way to easy and profitable for Hasbro to keep pumping out new Kre-O figures. I don't think they could do a straight up FSS copy though. But one thing I think Hasbro would let the club do is make bag sets from most of their previous Joe Con sets and a few of the Joe Con vehicles. The Crimson HISS and while not from a Con set an added bonus they could include a Crimson ASP with it. A Septic Tank Mk I or Mk II could be done. They could also use that older Kre-O TF Starscream set to make a Night Boomer. Heck I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't reissued that Starscream as a Skystriker yet.
