Let me introduce myself.
 

I'm sgcaper a.k.a. Maestro a.k.a. Sean. I'm a vet of the US Army (11C Airborne). Originally from the "Valley" of Western Massachusetts, I now live in Brooklyn NY where I teach 6th grade Science.

I've been a Joe fan for as long as I can remember. I've been a fan of this site of a long time and finally posted today (August 5, 2007) for the first time. Always looking to meet fellow Joe fans to trade ideas, figs, parts. Working on several customs that I hope to post soon. Have several dios in the works but being a teacher leaves little time for hobbies.

Welcome to Dioland!!!

Hope that you can find time to not only post up pics, but also jump into the forum conversations!!!


I think you'll really enjoy yourself here!!!! :cool:

I'm a teacher too. I work at High School, physic. The secret to get time is make the students work ;).

Hey I am not new to the site actually. I had been active on here as simply "Pit Viper". I can still log in to that account but anytime I try to do anything it tells me my account is restricted. I can't upload any pictures, post in the forum, rate pictures. or even use the search feature. I can't do anything accept apparently send PMs. I don't know why my account would be restricted like this. I clicked on a "Contact Us" link on 3 different occassions in the last 2 weeks explaining my situation but recieved no reply or change to my account's access. Yesterday I sent a PM to both Sonneilon and Hammerfel once again explaining this but still no change. It's possible that the PMs were just not getting through. I really love this site and am getting started working on a diostory.

I would really like it if the access to the "Pit Viper" account would be altered so that I can use it once again instead of having to use this new one. I only created this accont because I was at my wit's end trying to get a reply from somebody. Hope this can be achieved.

Alright Pit Viper, you should be all set to go now. We have had some changes to the site (not enough for some members tastes), in order to try and weed out spam-also, since you haven't posted in a while, I think (don't quote me), that you might have cycled into the 'limbo' status........

But I've changed you back to 'member' status. Let me know if it's working and I'll suspend 'Pit Viper v2'

Thanks for your patience and understanding, and welcome back!!! :cool:

GS

Cool thanks. Looking forward to posting some new pics soon.

EDIT: Looks like it's still not working.

Hi all! I'm Prince Adam! Don't let the name fool ya' I'm a huge Joe nut. I'm 23 so I grew up on the vintage toys for sure! 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

Welcome to Joedios! You figured out the forum portion faster than I did. I posted and commented on pictures only for a few months before I even found the forum was there.

Welcome and glad to have you here!

As YTJ said, be welcome!

Welcome Sir Prince The Shots Youve Posted Look Good So Far Cant Wait To See What You Have For Us In The Future.

Thanks guys!

I love taking pictures of Joes, and am sooooooooooo glad this place exists!!! :D

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. ;)

New Guy
 

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

I joined awhile ago I just didn't have time to do an intro. I've been collecting Joes for awile now can't remember how far back. My favorite band is....well you can figure that part out. My favorite Joe would have to be Mutt.


Oh and Agent Viper sorry dude but I don't have any loose Joes to pass off.

Oh well, another "intro" thread that I was sure I posted :)

But anyway my bio needs updating, so here's up-to-date "what would you want to know about Ion"
I'm 21 so far, and come from Cracow, Poland (by the way Cracow says hello to Wien :)). Quite a long distance from the Joe homeland as you can see
I'm a full time (and I mean FULL now) student of Journalism (3rd year of 5) AND English Philology (1st year of 5 ;)) at the university. Two different to be exact :)

My Joe collecting began aroun '89 or '90 - don't remember exactly, I was around 3 or 4 yrs old back then. First figure was TF Tripwire which I still own, as well as all of my childhood Joes. Up to 1996 - year when they become unavailable in Poland - I managed to collect around 40 figures and 10 vechicles. And then came a long break.

Around 1999 I finally got a LAN connection and wandering through the depths of the internet - I discovered that G.I.Joe collecting is still alive and I sank into it again - at last having opportunity to get all those childhood dreams sets, that I saw in catalogues

Figuring out that making dios is the best thing you can do with your Joes - I'm here (for some time as you can see), and I'm glad that there's such a great place an community :)

Besides Joes - I'm a plastic model maker, huge military fan, skier, biker, rock climber, metalhead and I surely omitted a lot :)

Intro
 

What's up guys. My name is Cory-Allen Castle, I'm 24 and a senior at the University of Kentucky. I grew up an airforce brat and lived on a different base usually shorter than every 6 months(my dad was in intelligence and we were based out of Fort Meade, Maryland, NSA.). The one constant that I had was that no matter wear I ended up as long as I had the coolest joes with me, I knew I'd be fine. Later in life, my dad retired, i went to the same college as him and walked on and played some football and attempted to "grow up" (their is no such thing and if their is there is no reason to so). Now once again, joes are once against forced thankfully back in my life. I just got back from a recent deployment with the airforce myself and I love my joes more than ever. I hate that fact that they lost popularity in the 90's and lost the spotlight. I have tubs full of all my classic joes in the basement but I have latched onto a personal mission to make a modern force of joes that represent our current armed forces into today's day and age. I enjoy the new scuplts and accessories: the newer joes like RAH and the 25th line, and I love to integrate the new style into the old. I just found this site last night and I had no idea this world existed. I was just making my own personal army of detailed troops and creating my own fun scenes that I regretfully made my girlfriend pretend she was intrested in (hehe!). But I think its really enjoyable to share your vision and meet people with the same niche of intrest. I don't have to throw my joes in the closet anymore when my former wildcat football teammates come over; I think dios are extremely fun and a joy to share, thanks for having me.

Glad you stopped in and decided to stay.........welcome to the boards.....

Welcome to all the 'noobs' we've had lately....It's wonderful having so much budding talent joining 'the family'.......... :cool:

Also a nice intro.
 

Hello Cory!
It's great of you to post your intro. Nice selection for an avatar too! ;)
Did you collect any of the 2000-2001 ARAH Figures?
I thought for the most part the colours and sculpts were excellent in choice. :D

It's refreshing to hear someone put an effort into their introduction and welcome themselves propper. I look forward to seeing some of your joe stuff. :cool:

Welcome to Joe Dios
Rich

I forgot.
 

I never introduced myself.. :p

I'm Richard. 27 From Manchester, United Kingdom.

I've recently decided to sell off a large proportion of my joe stuff, I'm persuing other goals in life atm. Although i wont be totally out of joe stuff. I'm limiting myself down to favourites and ARAH Styled stuff. :cool:

I've taken quite nicely to the ML & DC Super Heroes Stuff and I have my own cool forum online that's interlinked with my ebay store which shares the same name :D

I like taking pictures of Toys either in a collection sense or in dios. Recreating adventures using miniture figures is fantastic.
Rich
