The G.I.Joe Collectors Club shared word on what the Customizing Class figure for JoeCon 2016 will be…and fans of the classic Adventure Team are in for a treat! This years Customizing Class figure is none other than Bullet Man!
From the Club –
This year’s G.I. Joe Convention Customizing class will feature a build from the classic Adventure Team! As we continue bringing you interesting and unique characters from the entire G.I. Joe lineup. Bulletman is a somewhat storied character from the annals of G.I. Joe history, being its first resident super hero! Clad in red tights, with chrome arms and a shiny bullet shaped helmet, this character filled the imaginations of children in the early 1970’s.
This modern era update features a new competitive cycling style jersey and a newly designed and updated Bulletman logo water slide decal. For the sake of durability (and to cut down on scraped knees), he now wears military style fatigue pants and high top lace up boots. His shiny silver arms and metallic helmet have not changed however, so his new look still says “Classy!”. All the parts for your personal figure build are cast in the best quality urethane resins and are already the correct base colors, so only painted details need to be added as well as assembling your personal choice of legs/feet.
During the class this year, we will cover the customizing aspects of pre-paint preparation, basic assembly of class supplied parts (you add the legs of your choice), and water slide decal application. There will be instructors on hand to help out if you are new to customizing. All materials will be supplied for the class, but if you have a favorite type of paint or brushes you are encouraged to bring those with you to participate.
The parts supplied in class:
– NEW! Helmet
– Head
– Torso & hardware
– Arms
– Hands
– Water Slide Decal
Note: These custom figure parts are only available to those attendees that signed up for the Customizing class.
So what say you, Hisstank faithful? Excited to add Bullet Man to your Adventure Team ranks? Sound off after the break!
Official announcement from the Club. Details on the custom class build are now up. There are still a couple of seats left in the Wednesday class and the cut off is tonight at midnight Central time. Get in there!

What legs would you suggest?
Not a fan will be selling mine off
LOL, one more reason to not regret missing this con.
Not too impressed. I guess I'll still go to the class just for the experience, but I could probably think of at least a hundred other characters I would have preferred.
The class is not for giving you characters you "want" so much as unique characters that will NEVER be done in any other venue. A truly one-off experience. That means no troop builders or mainstream characters, but selections like Chef and Robo Joe.
Also, if you don't build your figure in the class, then you don't get the bonus parts. Just FYI.
Xero- You can see the set I built for mine in the flying pic. Shocktrooper thighs, Ult SS knees, an Ult Cap feet. The knees do not fit stock, and need to have material removed inside the knee joint to work.
The difference is it's not a character with any connection to the 3.75" series like the last two had.
I like him, I look forward to the class! This is gonna be fun.
Ohh, faster than a speeding bullet?
Depending on how much, well more of a how much money I'll have left over from being at JoeCon. Being the last one I gotta get at least one of EVERYTHING!!!
