My first was Airtight, but my favorites are defintely Snake Eye v2 and the Crimson Guard and of course Storm Shadow! I got back into collecting the vintage joes some years back. Got quite a bit and left the game. But I'm hooked with the 25th line. Found some at a Sears and instantly starting collecting again!

I found Joe dios through a link on yoJoe, where I post under the same ID. I love this place! Can't wait to show some more pics! Joes are defintely the best toys to dio with!!!! :D

As YTJ said, be welcome!

hay cant waite to see your pics

OK, now for a proper introduction. I was first introduced to G.I. Joe in 1987. My first Joes were Falcon and Sneak Peak. Falcon remains my favorite. I played with G.I. Joe well into junior high school until the line was canceled in '94. I sold off most my collection in 1998 at a garage sale. Then in 2001 I bought the Major Bludd/Rock-Viper (He's Range-Viper to me!) pack and I've been a collector ever since. I first started posting on the Devil's Due forums as mAd HaTtEr2k. My brother and I both thought it was strange that Hasbro never made a figure named "Pit-Viper" so I started using it as my online name in the Joe Community. Later Hasbro of course produced a figure with that name. I like to think they stole the idea from me. :p

I got bored/annoyed with the Devil's Due forum and could no longer afford to purchase the comic book so I started frequenting the Toys News International forums where I continue to post regularly. Recently I started to read the YoJoe message boards more regularly and have returned to JoeDios.Com. I used to post here as simply "Pit Viper" but for some reason it won't let me do anything when I log into that account so from now on here I am "Pit Viper V2".

I recently moved into a HUGEGANTIC 19th Century apartment so I have all kinds of room to dedicate to my collection. I already have a Joe Room (glorified closet) but plan on turing a room in the back into a place where I can display a permanent diorama.

hey all,
well I've been lurking around Joe Dios and posting once in a while off and on for about a year or so. I always wanted to take some good pics of my Joes, but never got a digital camera to do it with.

My sis lent me hers a week ago, and I've taken quite a few pics so far. Its really a lot of fun.

The first set of pics was a small dio I did about a Bat attack on a small GIJoe post. The second set I finished a few days ago was in that Joe hangar. I think I have enough pictures of the bat attack to make a small Dio-story with it. The second set has alot more pictures to it, so Im gonna have to figure out how to make a comic out of it.

I've been messing around with GIMP (the poor man's Photoshop) and it took me about a full day to do one of the pics I posted on the site. You pros are probably laughing at that I know, but im learning as I go, and slowly figuring out how to use stuff like Comic Book Creator to make some really cool stuff.

glad to be here, and thanks for having me!!

Far from laughing, I think that's cool. I don't have Photoshop either, only PhotoDeluxe, but it's amazing what you can do with these "El Cheapo" photo editing software packages if you try. That's how I learnt my craft too, just by experimenting and seeing what each command did. Keep playing around with GIMP, you might surprise yourself with what you can do with a little imagination! ;)

hi gang just joined here and the site looked awesome..member over at cobraisland.com also

Its Been A While Since Ive Checked This Thread Whats Up To All The New Members. Lets See What You Got. ;)

hey guys, My name is John I turned 20 in November, and I am a student at NC State University, I've lived in NC my whole life and I've been heavily collecting Joes for the past 6 or so years. My collection isn't large but I probably have around 250-300 figures and I am currently building a Cobra Army. My favorite characters are Beachhead, SE, and Cover Girl and I have plenty of other ones that I like. I'm also going to be transferring to Wake Forrest Technical to get a degree in Simulation and Game Design, maybe I can get a GI Joe game in the works :D I've been into customizing for a few months and I also collect the DDP comic series. Pics of my collection and various figures to come.
I also love the Punisher if you can't tell by my screen name, I like anime and video gaming as well. Thats all I can think of right now.

I've been looking at the pics on this site and I can only hope I can take great pics like these at some point :D
