The last JoeCanuck newsletter gave us a peek at the artwork for the first figure in the Canadian JoeCon Exclusive set…and now, the second figure has been posted on the JoeCanuck forums! Click the thumbnail below to head over to JoeCanuck.com and see the full artwork.
Very interesting looking figure, to be sure. I really like how the Cobra characters are following Black Ice’s color scheme, and they’re adding little design flairs to make the characters unique. The thin little scar over this character’s right eye adds just a touch of something…
Really looking forward to seeing what else is there!

As promised, the guys at JoeCanuck.com have posted their latest Canadian G.I. Joe Collectors newsletter today, featuring the debut of an image from their first convention exclusive figure of the 2010 Canadian JoeCon!
While a name is not given, the art certainly seems to indicate they used the Cobra Para-Viper has a base figure, with a heavy dose of black and Cobra blue for the color scheme, matching him up nicely to Black Ice.
As an added bonus, there are also two more great silhouettes giving us clues for the next two figures showcased as Canadian JoeCon exclusives.
As if that wasn’t enough, there’s all the great content you’ve come to expect, including the awesome JoeCanucklehead comic book by Jason Loo.
