No mention of the subscription bagged version on there though.

You probably won't see a shipping notice for the membership figure. Those go out cheap-o bulk mail.

Good to know they are shipping out the carded Cross Country and Havocs.

I got my Cross-Country a couple of days ago. I must say I'm impressed. The detail on the vest is extremely impressive, and the headsculpt is excellent. The overall choice of parts is superb for the figure.

They've also eliminated the one thing about the original 1986 Cross-Country that always bothered me just a bit. It always seemed to me that the figure had a nose on it that rivaled that of Corporal Klinger in M*A*S*H. I mean, wow, what a honker. And yet that prominent proboscis was never reflected in any of the other media, be it animation or comic book.

This new Cross-Country has much better proportioned facial features.

Got my carded one last week and the loose one yesterday. He's a great figure. I just hate the wrench and pistol's rubbery material. For high end collector figures, there's no need for "kid friendly". I might recast those if they bug me enough so I can have good solid resin versions. Boss Fight Studio did a great job on the design work they contributed!

i got mine as well. Really impressed with it, like more than I thought I would be. At first the rubbery wrench bugged me but after trying to squeeze it into his hand I kind of like that it has some give to it. Over the long run that should make it so he can hold it better.

I got both the CC and HAVOC this week. I am impressed with the figure even though I don't collect the current style. Needless to say, it will be finding a home with a fellow collector soon. The HAVOC II works surprisingly well for me. I really do see more HAVOC in it that I do Snow Cat. I thought the club did a good job with the tampos as well. While I still probably prefer stickers because of the higher level of detail you can get with them, these are still quite nice.

Got my loose CC yesterday and I love him. I have no problem with the flexibility of the wrench.

Guess I'll have to check the mail box. I got my Club membership payment in a little too late, but at least I'll be getting next year's Cold Weather Mindbender :roll: ...yea.

Glad the Club put these up for sale individually so I could get one on card rather than loose. If the HAVOC is still available later, I may pick one up. Just not sure about spending money on a vehicle I can easily make myself.

For those of you who have received your Cross Country and HAVOC Mk II, does Cross Country fit in the cockpit easily?
