These are my notes as I took them down during the event:
ULTRA (increased articulation) Non-modular, sculpted on pouches, etc. New chest articulation in Ultra figures, new upper torso will also fit on older legs/waist. Additional thigh and ankle articulation. Better wrist articulation. Softer material in middle of chest that allows you to compress or expand it a bit in poses. Think shrinking together a bit if holding a pistol, and expanding a little like your arms are out in a hulk rage pose.Lots of extra articulation to be able to get into any pose. Jason |

These are my notes as I took them down during the event:
New exclusives from Convention - Blue WWII German - White Panzergrenadier (Winter) Re-do of original colors with new tech abilities (aka Panzergrenadier and new contractor ops camo legs) for full bodies of older paint apps like Desert, Urban, etc. WWII stretch goal that never got shown - Russian Female Sniper - Pilots (U.S. was all that was shown) MJ says reads all emails asking for figures, and demand for both Vietnam and more WWII running high, so the Vietnam KS will have some WWII figures in stretch goals. Not sure "which" ones though at this time. KS to be in late January/February time frame to launch. Vietnam Kickstarter (not sure the base launch set) - US Army Infantryman - US Marine - Bare arms and sleeve arms for figure - Special Forces aka Green Berets - Tiger Stripe. - US Navy Seal - US Army LRRP - Viet Cong - black pajamas - North Vietnamese Army Soldier - Tan fatigues - US Air Crew/Air Cavalry - think Wild Bill and Door Gunner figures for Huey, nod to Wild Bill and Apocalypse now cowboy hat - US Army Nurse - Think show China Beach, MASH style ULTRA (increased articulation) Non-modular, sculpted on pouches, etc. New chest articulation in Ultra figures, new upper torso will also fit on older legs/waist. Additional thigh and ankle articulation. Better wrist articulation. Softer material in middle of chest that allows you to compress or expand it a bit in poses. Think shrinking together a bit if holding a pistol, and expanding a little like your arms are out in a hulk rage pose.Lots of extra articulation to be able to get into any pose. New Heads Dutch - with and without facial hair, sunglasses Detailed African American head - with and without facial hair Bald guy with beard - now dubbed Russell Mohawk guy Kelly - think Magnum Force era KR style heads - Jack, Ken (eye patch) and Todd (U. Soldier) New female short hair style that can have helmet over it Female w/multiple hair choices Dillon - aka Carl WRATH No tank top picture was shown, but showed mock up of bare chest (under Wrath plans), and bare arms (under Vietnam KS). Shorts, bare legs with boots. Possible Scuba sculpting and gear. Nothing else shown but this is going to be a catch all for more sci-fi and mission specific stuff, like helmets, or villain looking stuff. Lastly, a current style MTF fatgues figure with new green camo aka Tiger stripe style will pop up sometime this fall/winter. Not in Kickstarter. That ended what I wrote down. I do believe the ultra gear will be modular just not the bodies, like WWII. The thigh swivel will be designed so it doesn't look odd when not in the perfect place. Second neck articulation was mentioned as well, but all heads swappable. Wrist articulation is all new - I sort of understand it - but have not seen it yet. Ankles will be similar. MJ really wants to make ultra - ultra realistic and ultra poseable. Also making sure everything is forwards and backwards compatible as possible. I am trying to talk MJ into Black Multicam as one of the initial colors for ultra.

Good notes - you didn't miss much. Except listing all the freebies we handed out and the BBQ dinner. Unofficial poll - should we look at doing something like this again?
