And the hits just keep on coming! Hot on the heels of their stellar reveal of the 2012 Convention Exclusive Daina figure, we now have the reveal of the equally awesome Schrage!
With another awesome new headsculpt, nearly perfect parts choices, and a fantastic accessory compliment, we are getting yet another home run in what looks to potentially be a landmark convention set.
Another interesting thing to note… I’m not sure how many other fans have been wondering, but I was kind of curious if the Club would be dipping their toes into the “dead Oktober Guard” waters considering their comic book mythology seems to walk in line with the Marvel Universe. Daina is still alive in the Marvel mythology, but Schrage is not! This confirms that those characters are not off the table to the Club and reinforces the thoughts that we may just get a full compliment of modern era Oktober Guard characters.
UPDATE – When I say “full compliment” I’m talking about the original 6 members (Brekhov, Stormavik, Schrage, Daina, Horror Show & Dragonsky) and not really considering guys like Gorky, Misha, or even Wong. Looking at the reveal page for the Con exclusives you see 6 empty spots for the Russians, so that seems in line with their thinking as well.
BAD. ASS. Check out GIJoeCon.com for details, and take a peek at the mirrored image below. Absolute perfection.
This set is going to be popular
Six spots in the set… and maybe the more modern ones like Misha and Gorky in the exclusives??
Do you know if the set will be available on the club’s website after the convention for those of us unable to attend?
Yeah, I’d like to know too, as I can’t get there! 🙁
You can get the “Hometown Heroes” option on the convention registration. They’ll send you the box set after the con. Won’t get you the attendee or other exclusives but it will guarantee you the box set.
Cool Thanks. I was beginning to fear I’d miss the Guard set.
The club gives no Sunbow love.
Only 10 spots means only 10 figures in this set???
They will probably only show the army builders once.
Now I know…:P
The Club could still tie their story into the Marvel U. If they’re already going flashback to the USSR, they could just go back further and do a story that takes place before most of them died.
