    GIJCC JoeCon 2016

    JoeCon 2016: June 16 - June 19, 2016 Loveland, Colorado I'll be shocked if registration goes up this soon, but maybe after 6 years of fucking it up, they'll get it right.

    http://gijoeclub.com Cross Country! And as an additional add-on (i.e. more money) he has a Snowcat… er, yeah a Snowcat repainted as a H.A.V.O.C. MkII. Uh, ok... 12" figure is:

    What would it take?

    What would it take for you to "finish" your collecting? For me, a complete set of Sunbow Joes, and a few more beyond that, would probably seal the deal. If Hasbro could muster 4 good 7-packs for 2014's 50th Anniversary, with smartly chosen characters and none of their typical...

    Marvel Legends

    Yeah I know, wrong scale. :rolleyes: Anyone here collect these? I didn't see a ML thread in the Marvel subsection, so I figured I'd start one. I just ordered the new Jean Grey and most recent Archangel. I've got about 5-10 I'm considering buying to add to my collection, mostly X-Men...

    1:18 Astronauts?

    http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=DRG10272&mode=retail&picture=out Something seems off with them... Am I missing the articulation, did they hide it that well, or are these just mockups? I thought they were interesting though. Also, this could be kind of cool for 4"...

    Joe Team Roles

    Okay, so the Joe team has a bunch of redundant roles and some silly ones, and they're probably lacking some realistic military roles. But here's something I'm wondering if you guys can help out with... I'm considering making some original characters as custom Joes with back stories, but I'm...

    Rex's WIPs

    I guess it's time I started a WIP thread. Won't be as exciting as Cloud's but I need some help figuring some stuff out. It's been about 9 months since I've even worked on a custom, but I've got about 15 in queue now in some format or another. First up, Metalhead: Problems... The...

    Submit questions for Slayer!

    Hey guys, In trying to get more front page material for your hungry eyes, Dave from Slayer has been so kind to agree to an interview (TBD, once my lazy ass gets some questions together). If you guys aren't familiar with Slayer Design Studios, you should be. I'm a huge fan of their work, and...

    EOD Specialist - Modern Tripwire

    Okay, I haven't started this yet, but one of the 25th figures that I absolutely hate, is Tripwire. I need a little feedback before I start wasting money on acquiring parts... I want a modern version, and basically based off this, although a little more streamlined and more "G.I. Joe" while...

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    Okay, if you haven't heard about these guys, then prepare to be amazed. They're knockoff/3rd party, reverse-engineered "Conehead" Seekers to finish up the 6 main G1 Decepticon jets. And they're awesome. (Despite a bit, um, morally "gray". More on that later.) So we've finally got Thrust...

    Grounded

    Not a perfect setup, but I decided to use the flash on the DSLR... Turned out not too bad, considering this was stuffed in the corner of our dining room, on the floor, with just the dining room light shining on it. I still need to paint the little bird, but this was my only time to shoot...

    All in the Family

    Just another quick shoot to preview my Zandar custom with his siblings. This is a revision of my original Zandar custom, with the new SDS head and Storm Shadow neckerchief, but the rest is the same as before. I did repaint a good deal of the figure, such as the chest tattoos and the majority of...

    Bludd Bath

    Major Bludd is sent with a force of Cobra troopers with the mission to deliver a secure case to a M.A.R.S. facility in western Springfield. Upon arrival, Bludd senses something is off... The dropoff team is nowhere in sight, and they're much later than usual. While the handler team unloads the...

    Joe Mission Briefing

    No background story, just throwing together some of the recent Marauder stuff I got in, with some new Joes and some customs and the background walls I made. More or less playing around and testing out the DSLR some more and showcasing some Marauder product and Slayer Design heads. :) I still...

    Vintage G.I. Joe Reviews & Discussion

    This is for discussion or micro-reviews of vintage G.I. Joe figures, vehicles and playsets that aren't so nicely done as a "full" review like danielgogeta's APC review or more recent Pursuit of Cobra figure reviews, etc. This is the place to ask questions you may have or share tidbits about...

    Customizers: Brag/Nag/Lag Thread

    So one thing I was thinking about... Every customizer has his strengths and weaknesses. You know there's that one thing you do that you're super proud of, but there's also that thing that you hope nobody notices about your customs, and you really need to work on still, or something that you're...
