Today via his Facebook Page, Mr. Robert Atkins posted word that he’ll be in Springfield for JoeCon 2015 this weekend. This, of course, is already known (and many are excited to see him!)
What really caught my eye was a piece of artwork he shared. This piece references the Tiger Force vs. Iron Grenadiers theme of this years convention. Of note are some of the items found within the artwork:
Tigerhawk – The Eagle Hawk that the Club eluded to earlier. Not sure on who the pilot is; maybe Skystriker?
Tiger Shark – In the first panel, you can see the silhouette of a Water Moccasin skimming away while the Tiger Force team deploys from the Eagle Hawk, possibly giving us our first heads up on a Tigershark exclusive.
Two things are for sure – The artwork is fantastic and we’ll know what the exclusives are soon enough! Keep it locked on HissTank.com for live coverage from JoeCon 2015!

As long as I get a repaint of bazooka, lifeline, Recondo, and roadblock, ill be happy. They could make a tiger force snowcat, since they have the mold. If they show a tiger force frostbite, then that would maybe reveal the 13th figure.
Ok I can save $400 in 2015. I will most likely pass on this one.
Maybe they will make 30th/POC/50th style Duke without Tatum Channing's head. Make a new ARAH style head sculpt for Duke. If we get a TF Duke in this way, then we can get a reg Duke this way.
We can probably guess some of the Joes and vehicles...but what about the Cobras? Seems like there has been multiple troop builders the past couple of years. At east two troops....any guesses?
I think we will see some Laser Vipers
Noooooooooooooo! :(
I'm attending , and was so hoping for a Springfield related set: Billy, etc. well...still maybe Serpentor and Bludd...?
i always liked tiger force as a little boy, but idk if it fits into my modern collection. really depends on the molds they use. wouldnt mind a tiger force vamp and snowcat, but lets remember those last club tiger force figures are horrible!!
I'm excited!!!! A water mocasin repaint, quad repaint... already have my rattler repaint, and my tf duke and flint. I don't need an updated tf duke. I need the arah repaint listed above. I agree about the laser viper, though. I think we'll see them. Unless it's tf vs cobra la
A tad disappointed that it isn't Sgt Savage, but hey if it really is Tiger Force then I'm okay with that. Like YoJoe77 said, finally getting all the repaints we should of had years ago will be great.
More so if they also update Flint and Duke for the set. And just think of the vehicle repaints! It'll be a good con set I think!
I'm happy with tiger force. I hope they give us Lifleline, Bazooka, and Blizzard. Please give us Tiger force Blizzard. Oh yeah and I would also like to see tiger force Eagle Hawk please LOL
