The six cards for chikarmy 2 are no surprise since they were just the final six winners of the poll held a while back, but it was announced on the newest Filsinger podcast that a special edition Kobald card will come out at that time as well. Kobald was the guest on the second half of the show and said he wanted a card that wasn't a "jobber" like his first one. So this one will be a (much needed, actually) update with new moves and revised stats, apparently with much input from Kobald himself. Also, he'll be selling an exclusive version of the card and challenging people to play against him at shows he'll be wrestling on. It was strongly hinted at that Kobald's personal version of the card will be super stacked, with moves like the "quadruple moonsault" and "shooting star Demon's Toilet" thrown out there as possibilities. The art features Kobald with his "demon toilet" in the background.
I don't know how anyone else will receive this, but I think it seems like a fun idea and it's good to see someone get that involved with his card and promoting the game.

Wondering why the upgrade is much needed. Anyone know how he's wrestling on other shows since there's no Chikara right now. I agree cool to see someone want to get involved with the game and help promote things. To me that is why he's getting another card made.

Because the first card was done when he was still mainly a ringside companion for Batiri. His style has changed and he's progressed since then. He's current "Wrestling Is" 24/7 hardcore champ and AIW tag team champion (filling in for Obariyon defending the belts with Kodama "Freebird style"). Besides, the Batiri (and Kobald in particular) are great at pushing merch and cultivating a fan base, so it's a great promotional move for Filsinger Games.

Looking forward to this set. So is the Kobald Card part of the 6 Pack? I pre-ordered the set but there was no separate Kobald card.

Listen to Tom's podcast and see if you can figure it out. He's not one of the six (Vin, Stigma, Shane Storm, Worker Ant, Hydra, Crossbones), but maybe he's a seventh "throw in" card. It was kind of hard to tell except for that Kobald said he'd have his own version for sale at shows that would be different from the normal one which would be for sale through Filsinger Games. PS: that Hydra card art is ridiculously cool. filsingergames.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/hydra.jpg

Kobald could definitely use the card. His current one is probably the weakest in Chikara in singles (maybe Johnny Gargano who could also use a new card is worse) Looking forward to it.

Finally! A FG card with a toilet on it! ;p It goes perfectly with the six card interlocking art featuring a giant turd.

Thanks MT! I ordered it up as well. Will be great to have a Kobald card that has a bit more strength to it. And I would agree that the Hydra card looks wicked cool! Great to see Crossbones get a colour card as well.
