spiderpumpkin from HissTank has come through again with some pictures and details of the convention exclusive items that are being purchased as I type. This appears to be the lowdown (and what an expensive lowdown it is!):
- Blades w/ SAF Gyrocopter: $28.00
- JUMP 2-Pack w/ Starduster and Manleh: $45.00
- 3-Pack w/ Sgt. Shimik, Sgt. Redmack, and Sgt. Topson: $65.00
- 12″ Crimson Guard: $50.00
- Crimson Command Copter: $30.00
- Joe or COBRA Weapon Set: $8.00 (still no inclination on exactly what this contains)
Actually, in all honesty, the prices aren’t terrible…well, except that 12″ Crimson Guard. Yikes. I can appreciate the production costs and the limited run, but that’s far and away the most expensive parachute figure ever. It’s a beautiful figure, but you’re definitely paying for it. The other items are about standard for Convention stuff…
spiderpumpkin also posts some great pics of the filecards and stuff at his photo gallery, which I have mirrored below.

KY provided?
Damn! To get the entire 12” Crimson Guard it would cost $80!
Thats Sideshow Collectibles status right there.
The other stuff seems very reasonable, though.
I wonder how much would be left over after the Con, since it seems they are imposing limits.
I thought you could keep the para-drop figs free of charge? You catch you keep!
Weren’t the Para-drops supposed to be for kids? Granted I know it’s always been for fat fanboys first and they often push the kids down and steal them, but still.
The con stuff is way to expensive.
Are these based on any existing international characters or did they just make this crap up?
what ? you dont know the Argen 7 or ACTION FORCE GUYS ? man run over to http://www.bloodforthebaron.com for all the info your missing a huge wonderful part of the JOE UNIVERSE
Thanks Jamar! I was unaware of the specifics as well. Looks like I’ve got stuff to browse this afternoon.
I really want a Crimson Strike team! Not sure I’m willing to pay $65 for three figs, but they sure are cool, especially with the file cards. If only my money tree hadn’t withered… 😉
I knew of the international teams, just didn’t recall any of these names. Blades I think I remember.
So no Baron figure? They should put some of these guys into the main line.
