  1. I like to enjoy my Joes in a certain inmature way. and I like to pretend my "Posing time" in the my custom characters daily lives instead of in constant war. and I have been looking at 1:18 scale Diecast cars and I was wondering if anyone has bought any and know any brands that work with Joes?. Thanks for any help. here are some of the cars I am looking at.

  2. I know that animals aren't better then humans. and I am a major history buff. I have got one human in my life that I care about. and she's in France. I live with my insane brother and my jesus freak father who won't work and then 6 Cats.I have to work three jobs. it's just I get really tired sometimes and common sense just doesn't apply. I am sorry for saying something so stupid. so please just pretend I didn't say it. I will go and edit the stupity out of my post. but just please keep in mind I am under alot of stress.

    It's basically that Hasbro is never EVER going to go back to what it was. It's sort of like... Fast food.  

     

    There was a time when MacDonalds (or whatever other chain you like) would make food that could pretty much kill you right there in the restaurant. I'm not saying this was a good thing, but apparently it's what got them in so good with the people. But today, they're under such scrutiny fro mthe govt, watchdog groups, complaining parents, ect ect ect that they can't afford to make the food people knew them for.  

     

    However, take a relatively small chain, or a stand-alone restarant. They can do almost anything they want, because they rely largely on a smaller group and brand of customers. The same can be said fro mthe modern toy market. Why?  

     

    Take Hasbro. Hasbro has gotten so HUGE, it's moved beyond the simplisities of toy making. Everything needs lights, everything needs to make a buzz or a beep, and aesthetics be damned. Have any of you seen some of the Transformers they're making for the upcoming Energon series? God in Heaven... @puke@  

     

    Then we have Elite Force, World Peacekeepers, The Corps and Chap Mei. Relative nobodies in the grand scheme of things... but they make some toys that blow modern GI Joe into smitherines... and then runs over those smitherines in one helluva cool set of tanks, planes, choppers, you name it. These toy companies are still fairly small, and have to fight to make sure they stay alive... so they essentially do what they feel will work best for their target audience.

    You should write a book, :luv:

  4. That figure really sucks. it would be much better if instead of a light gray. the entire outfit was black. it's dark jeep thing and he is wearing light gray. isn't that just helping them aim?

  5. I know a few of us still play with our Joes. and I was wondering if any of you guys have made changes to the Joe universe in your worlds. I have made several changes. instead of Sand Vipers being troops in my world. there is only one. and he is a genetically enhanced person. after a Cobra search and rescue team found a frozen Velociraptor egg. Cobra Commander was incredibly excited by this find and ordered for a clone to be created using his own DNA and some from the egg. but due to the badly decayed DNA of the egg. the new born clone was incredibly weak he couldn't breath and so Cobra Commander ordered that Destro save his "son" or he would suffer the same fate. so Destro used a prototype suit that he had already designed, it has a system of veins filled with tiny Nanobots that heal the wearer and allow it's self to grow. Cobra Commander quickly became attached to his "son" and nicknamed him Dan. but as the years passed and Dan's powers grew. Cobra Commander quickly became suspicious of Dan and when Dan was 9, ordered Destro to have him disposed of. so Dan was loaded on a passager plane and while they were flying over Canada. the Crimson Guard Immortal that was flying the plane flew straight into a large mountain. Dan survived but his suit did not. Cobra Commander had encouraged Dan to read survival books and such so he had most of the needed know-how to survive. Dan was 19 around the same time as the Joes were rebanding. Dan adopted the name Velocity and began murdering innocent people. it seems as a side effect of his usual birth. he has chemical imbalances. in short Velocity has all of the natural strengths of a Velociraptor and he is as crazy as a sh**house rat.

  6. Well. depending on how much painting you are willing to do. you could use Jaye's body and Scarlet's head for Sonya. I know Scarlet might be hard to find. but it is the best I can think of. your best chance for the least amount of work on the ninja heads will be Beachhead's head painted black or Firefly's. Shipwreck's head could be Kano's with alot of work.

     

    Note: I just thought of this. Cobra Commander's head could work as a Ninja.

  7. I like more realistic vehicles. most of the time they allow better playability then Joes. You can play with a Little Bird. but then try playing with a snow-sled that has a giant missle launcher on the back or a Star Wars wannabe Sub. you will have tons more fun with the Little Bird.

  8. I am planning on making a Diorama and I was wondering a few things.

     

    1. What works best for snow?. I am thinking about going the cheap route and just shredding some paper.

    2. I need a more a few animals. can anyone suggest a few brands to get them from. I am planning on getting some deer from ERTL and buying the cop and the mech Stikfas for the bear and the dog. I also have several vintage animals from RAH.

    3. This is off topic. but does anyone know if Tom found some TARGAT thighs.

     

    Thanks for any help.

  9. It is very common that I do something as stupid as yelling at a company. but this is a special case. so please read on.

     

    I am really getting sick of the lack of animals in Joe VS Cobra. I recently got my hands on Wave 6. and I am having more fun with my Sand Viper and his Varanus komodoensis. then I am with any of my other figures. there has been seven waves of Joe VS Cobra. and there has been 2 animals. count them. Widescope's Canine. and the Sand Viper's Varanus komodoensis. in RAH there was 19 or 20 if you count the Eel's mech-shark. and thats just what I can think of. so stop slacking!. when I was younger animals attracted me more to figures then bright colors and stupid action figures.

  11. I will never buy another Cobra Commander after I get that one. anyway who is the guy in the gray and mustardish suit?. I think it would be a good idea to take that link off. Hasbro might yell at Jayc if it they find out about it. also are there any pictures of the Cobra playset? and how much will it cost?

  13. I think instead of killing off the older characters. they should just do a. G.I. Joe Evolution. change Vietnam to Desert Storm or Afganistan. same old characters in new times. I mean it would suck badly but if Hasbro is going to do that. I would perfore them do as I suggest.
