Where did you get those figure stands?

[Sundance]

those ones are the ones that were available in the battle gear acccessory packs.

And the cardboard A.F base

A few of the stands are from Action packs but most are from V.S.C - Joe stands. Coming soon to the Baron's Store near you. Apparently. Lovely they are too - hold the chaps firmly upright, and prevent AF Dominoes from occurring.

Hey All,

Here's the list of variants as I understand it:

Wave 1

With Vehicles (Picture Box) - MOC/Bubble
Steeler - UZI, Red Helmet and Visor with Red Front
Steeler - Lowlight UZI, Red Helmet and Visor with Red Front

With Vehicles (Window Box) - MOC/Bubble
Quarrel - Crossbow
Stalker - Snake Eyes UZI and Ammo Case
Red Laser - Cobra Commander Pistol

Wave 2

With Vehicles (Picture Box) - MISB/Baggie
Jammer (No Camo) - No Accessories
Jammer (Black Camo, Thick Logo) - No Accessories
Jammer (Black Camo, Thin Logo) - No Accessories
Gaucho (Orangey Red Waist Coat) - No Accessories
Blades - No Accessories
Red Jackal - No Accessories
Moondancer - Short Fuse Helmet, Visor, Mortar and Backpack all in grey.
Dolphin - Zap Helmet, Bazooka and Backpack all in grey plus Black String.
Hunter - No accessories

Not sure if this is a variant but I've noticed two different versions of Hunter one Dark Blue/Dark Grey and the other Light Blue/Light Grey.

I think it's safe to say that the MOC and MISB were separated by a release wave as the MISB wave was the changeover of Dolphin and Moondancer from stiff to articulated. It also signalled the start of picture boxes rather than window boxes with the exception of the Z-Force Tank which I think only came in a picture box version.

I would consider that these were all the definitive versions as they all came with blueprint bios.

Overstock - MOC
Jammer (Green Camo) - Stalker Machine gun
Gaucho (Dark Red Waistcoat) - Gung-Ho Grenade Launcher and Bergen in Green
Red Jackal - Destro Backpack and Pistol
Hunter - Cobra Officer AK47
Blades - Tripwire Metal Detector in dark grey, Backpack and Mines both in black

No bios with these guys and I always thought that paint was a little more vibrant that the regular release, Blades and Hunter both had a stronger flesh tone.

G.I. Joe Convention Exclusives - MISB
Blades - Salvo Mine Launcher and Freefall Machine Gun
Stalker -
Moondancer -
Quarrel -

Not sure what accessories these guys came with off the top of my head but I know it's in the Yo Joe archive. I would say from experience that I always found the quality of the Blades Convention figure was poor compared to the the regular and overstock releases.

Anyway, I hope this is of some interest.
