- - any characters youve had enough of??? (https://www.joedios.com/forum/showthread.php?t=536)

because its what i want to see. why do anything, why do a dio? because its something you want to. i dont do anything for the acceptence of others, seeing snake eyes getting beat is what i want, its what i would like to see. just like im sure theres a movie with a character that you would like to see things happen to them, be it good or bad. i dont know if you have a dio or not, even so, im sure if you do then there is a main character. why is he the main character? because you simply want him to be, and you would do stuff with him that you thought was cool. the same for me, i would do it with snake eyes because to me, its cool. and calling someone immature for wanting to put something in a dio, isnt it immature to get upset because someone thinks differently then you do? you could do a dio and do whatever you wanted to with anyone, and make quick kick, one of my favorite characters look weak. would i call you immature? no, because im above that. werent you one of the guys who was starting something with one of the other members in the thread about the bad pics? this is a place where we can do our stuff the way we want and let people enjoy it, or not. not a place where if you do not agree with someone you go into this big debate about whos giving low ratings and whos immature for wanting to do something in their own dio. anyone can do anything in their own dio, after all. its theirs.

More of Muskrat? Did you really look at Outrider shots? hauhauhau. There is always a muskrat around :D.

My 1st dio, I killed a whole lotta Joes. Torpedo, Surefire, Big Ben, etc. Do I regret it? Not too much but in a way, Jay's right. You don't like 'em, don't use 'em in the dio. I was doing a big melee fight and a bunch of guys got blown up just for body count. lol. The real kicker is this. According to my Joeverse based on dios, Firefly has been in a GI Joe jail cell for the last 3-4 years and Nunchuk is STILL a Viper in disguise (his name is Chuck Nunn).

As it stands now, I've sold off the figures I don't care for. They dont' need to be in the dio but at the same time, you can always reference them in dialogue. S6 doesn't show up in my 3.75" (as well, they shouldn't) but they are referenced (in a rather sarcastic way by Colton). In the S6 dios, I reference the rest of the Joe team doing other things.

Kinda like how AE has a main crew and then other agents running around.

Oh man. I'm pretty open-minded and coming from the S6 verse, I rather don't like the Kamakura variants they've done. And with that in mind, 1 Kamakura is good enough for me!

For me, Duke, SE and SS. They make too many variations of them in 3.75", 8" and 12"!!!!! I totaly agree with you Frank. Duke is a Nazi. Well not really. But he is Aryan.
But how could you be tired of Beachhead!??!? :confused:

About Joes dying, I would say it is normal. Man, they are soldier, sometimes some of them need to die. Well soldiers die, don't?
I disagree with Sonne killing Big Ben, cuz I like the character. But his dio isn't bad just because of that. And in my 'verse he is still alive :p.
What means to me is that everyone need to do what they need, to tell they're story. I just can't get a dio serious, when it should be, if people start to make funny of some characters in a way that would not be believable. Let me explain. Imagine that you are trying to do a dio with tension and in some point of the dio you show some greenshirt kickin' SE, this would make me laugh. Breakin' all the tension. You can have the same greenshirt kicking SE, SS or Duke in a comedy diostory. That is totally possible. In another way I would not eat it.

Wait a second, TG. You REMEMBER that old piece of crap dio, The Ultimate Weapon??? Man, it was a good idea but the execution was terrible! I can't bear to read it and neither can Frank! lol

Duke!

God, I think Hasbro must be Nazi's! Over a lot of cooler, more detailed and colorful characters, they choose the blond haired, blue eyed, master aryan poster boy duke to be their cornerstone character! BLAH! He's soooo bland! HE's worse than mashed potatos! He bores the living hell outta me! Hawk is boring, too, but they keep his exposure to a minimum!

Hey Ender098,
You are aware that it isn't healthy to keep things all bottled up, aren't you? You need to learn to express what you really think. If you don't you'll burst an artery or something.

And the blond/blue-eyed posterboy for man love has been way over done.

'To each their own'-that's what I say. If you don't like certain character's you have two options: 1) Don't use them in your stories, or just refer to them as 'on leave' or 'on assignment' OR 2) Don't bother to even buy these figures!! Then you don't have to even THINK about using them!!

If you can't do either one of these, then simply change the character altogether! Give them a new codename, paint their uniform (or cross it with someone else's) & make up a whole new back story about them. I have been changing all sorts of stuff with my Joeverse for the last 25 years!!

But hey, that's just me.....................you guys can do whatever you want.

To me, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow=way overused!!

You brat. During the 2002+ era, we didn't have a choice but to buy 2 figures at once! I mean, there IS a reason why those peasoup beach heads are my greenshirts. I had 16 of those Sand Vipers at one time!!!
