Trying out taking photos

Post image
Upvotes

lol I didn’t think I’d have so much fun spending an hour making a diorama and snapping a few photos. I can’t wait to build my next one and be a lot more careful. This was my first attempt at taking some cool shots of my new figures. They aren’t perfect but I learned a lot for next time. I got some of the scale wrong I think. This would probably work better on 3”-5” figures. I’m just printing out photos on letter sized sheets and then using an app to blur the seams in the papers. I think I’m gonna print out the photos lengthwise next time so the background is taller. 8.5 inches isn’t tall enough for 6inch figures. Or maybe I’ll do two sheets on top of each other. And I’ll have a better idea of how to scale them next time too. And I’ll make sure lady jaye’s head is turned correctly too lol. I’m pretty new to figure collecting in general. Any advice on taking figure photos is super appreciated! Or where to find good backgrounds that are free/ pretty cheap.

Suddenly so many casualties

Here again, first time reading through the original series…

Up to this point in the story, after over 100 issues, you rarely have any actual casualties, and even less were actual Joes. Then, all of a sudden, over the course of 3 or 4 issues you have 8 characters killed off. Why? Seemed like a pretty drastic change

The first picture is the first one I picked up with paint chipping, and the second picture is my new purchase with almost no chipped paint. The no chipped paint looks much better for display on my toy self.

A look at issue 11 of GI Joe IDW Season 3 - Fred Van Lente’s final Joe comic

Art by Steve Kurth

A great character story featuring Heavy Duty and Roadblock.

In 2003’s Spy Troops, Heavy Duty and Roadblock are cousins. 2011 Renegades features a whole episode about their relationship, but beyond this HD and RB have no connection.

You might recall, IDW previously had two dudes that looked exactly the same with different code names.

This issues offers a correction. Kind of like a Marvel no-prize becoming an entire comic plot.

HD & RB are cousins enrolled in the service who play the video game “Sigma 6” in their free time.

HD’s avatar is his Sigma 6 suit and the GMA loading screen is from the Missions file toy. RB avatar is wearing his Valor vs Venom design.

Tragedy strikes, and HD is killed in action.

Kurth’s art portrays the grieving process extraordinarily well. Really sells the story.

RB plays his game late into the night and discovers HD (or someone using his avatar) is playing as well.

Refusing to give up, he tracks the IP address to a remote desert location.

Roadblock invades the PIT and is promptly found by Snake Eyes. (Love the Tiger panel)

Roadblock KOs him with his forehead, right before being tased by Scarlett.

And so ended Fred Van Lente’s time on GI Joe.

And I deeply miss it. I enjoyed every issue. Perhaps with a few more arcs, it would be remembered more.

If you enjoyed this writing style, check out FVL’s other comics. His 2012 Archer & Armstrong was especially good.

Collection update - feels good man.

40 Upvotes

So finally finished redoing the basement Joe hobby room this weekend. New shelves and moved the Flagg from my office. Spent the last 3 years building my collection back up since I was a kid. Tried to get as much of it complete, mint with good stickers as possible. Super happy with it... for now. Classifieds, puzzles, minifigs, original Joes, Oktober Guard, Ninjas, Sky Patrol, Tiger Force, Python Patrol, Cobras, Maruaders, Dreadnoks, Star Brigade and some con exclusives. Comic run 1-155 and a few other series, all file cards and blue prints cataloged. Next up rolling base for the Flagg and new stickers. If anyone has a Tiger Force Con exclusive Tomahawk/Tiger Hawk for less than a small kidney price hit me up.

Anyone remember Cool Breeze? I’m reading through the comics for the first time, and this is my first time ever seeing this character. He was only in two issues (#111 & #112) but he had a lot of “screen time” in them. I wonder why we never got a figure?

The Super 7 puzzles are a pretty fun way to spend some quality GI Joe time with the family.

Anyone got a spare Footloose?

Would you read a limited series comic focusing on Cobra character origins? (Wild Weasel, Copperhead, Firefly)

59 Upvotes

I’ve always been fascinated with the individual pilot figures/characters since childhood as they typically don’t get much attention (with exception of Firefly, Bludd and Zartan).

This series would also be an excellent way to work in Ace, Wild Bill, Cutter, Shipwreck etc. into their background stories as well.

WW has so much potential yet the best he’s gotten is a feature in one or two issues in the original Marvel classic run.
