Joe Con 2015 DAY 1 podcast featuring former president BILL CLINTON aswell as Christian and Gray.
We (Sam and Tom) are joined by special Guest former President BILL CLINTON as well as our friends Christian (sculptor of the Cobra throne you may have seen) and Gray. We discuss our thoughts on the con set, get feedback from our former president, talk some custom and repaint potential, alternate takes, and some theories and the choices behind the con set. Lots of laughs, and Sam’s strange Swedish candy are followed by some talk on the custom Cobra Throne you may have seen on FB and other Joe sites.

Joe Con 2012 Exclusive Voltar Review.
Fear the cyclops!
Voltar came in the 2012 convention set, “Operation Bear Trap” I purchased the re issue of this set while at the 2013 con, and had to check out this popular figure a bit closer.
