Target Range - January 2007
The Target Range – JANUARY 2007
The Target Range is a group project where members can rant and rave about various spotlighted characters and figures. Sometimes the concept is sound, the execution is poor. Are there more strikes than misses with the figures? Is it just plain fun to pick on the lamer characters out there? Vent your rage or love the figure, the chosen character/figure is the TARGET. JD members sign up for specific days. Members choose 1 good guy and 1 bad guy to spotlight. Double whammys are all the hype! Posting days are TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS. Title: Target Range Character (yr or version) Key Word: TRCharacter Please sign up here. It’s up to you if you want to reveal who you are doing. People who reveal their selections get dibs! Please try to keep the characters fresh. 10 versions of Duke in a row… please… no. 1.25 - NemesisEnforcer (dibs on Stalker/Targat) 1.30 - GIJOCK If there are any problems, please let me know. Please try not to take all the slots; keep it open for your fellow photographers! |

Late Posting.. A request.
Hi,
Sorry for my late post.. I've been practicing :o I have a request.. TG can I have the 25/01 off you? If not and the 4/01 is too soon for you can I have this one? I did mean to post on this last night but got carried away with inspection duty on my collection :rolleyes: I've PM'd you on this. Lmk if not I'll wait until february and keep on practicing. |
TG was my go-to guy for the 25th. But since I prefer to keep it open to anyone who wants in and TG would take the 25th if nobody wanted in... Uhmmmm, what was I saying? Oh right. Something about the 25th actually being open.
And I'm always willing to give up my spot. |
Yay! I'm in.
Yay I'm in. First Target Range for me.. I'll get my thinking cap on and try and come up with 2 good characters.. :cool: Thanks!

January's Target Range
Hi,
I've been thinking alot about my slot 25th January. I was wondering how I would find out which characters have been done .. say in the last 2-3 months.. I really don't want to redo someone who's been done recently.. does anyone have a shortlist of which characters have been done? Thanks N*E*F |
Go into the Photos section so you get the second toolbar with "Upload" and everything - the far right has a "Search" option. Use that and you can do a search through the photos by Keywords - just put Target Range in there and you should pull up every pic with Target Range in its title. :)
Otherwise, you'll just have to go through the pics page by page... |
Duely noted.
Duely noted, many thanks stormer I'll do that later on this afternoon. I'm looking forward to seeing TG's Target Range. So far we've had GI JOE Colton and Dr.Mindbender.. I wonder who's next? :cool:
|
You can always suggest the chars you are interested in doing and Im' sure one of us will let you know if he/she's been done already. I kept a list for about 5 months but everything got so diverse, I chucked it. It's pretty much a free game right now. Plus, vehicles can be used too. I'll have to remember to update that for next month. :(

Practice Time and Characters.
Ok having thought about my Target Range and who I'd like to do I am pretty convinced I have the characters sorted.
G.I.Joe: Countdown/Stalker Cobra: T.A.R.G.A.T Now I have 2 selected for the GIJOEs because I want to do Countdown I just don't have this guy in my ranks yet. He's on the way from a deal I made and so if he arrives here before the deadline it will be him. If I don't get him in time I'm going with Tundra Ranger Stalker. :D Now with The enemy I've chosen T.A.R.G.A.T from the Iron Grenadiers. I was experimenting this afternoon and found a few things out about my camera. Even though this might come across as a tad novicey/amateur. I found out that by using a night time or portrait shot during the afternoon/evening enhances the subject and yet darkens the background they are up against. In this photo:  I wasn't really aware that by selecting Night Time or Profile mode on my camera would mean the sky/background would be darkened. So not only did I learn something about my camera and its uses I also learned that fun can be had while going almost freezin cold, I just thoguht I'd share this moment of learning with my fellow Joe Friends. :cool: |
Thanks for this..
How flawed this whole thing is.. I've posted my idea within a week someone beat me to the figure because their date was before mine?
I'd been practicing getting a good shot and angle for my Target Range.. and my whole picture/project attempt was based around the 1989 TARGAT. To counter this on the joe side I was going to shoot countdown.. which i got in the mail this morning. Now someone else (mirage army) thanks man.. has posted before me. This also isnt the only flaw.. I distinctly remember someone else posting a Target Range pic on the same day as Stormers.. which I know he wasn't pleased about. So my date is on the 25.01? Excellent.. I have less than a week to find a cool figure and get all my practice in.. I honestly dont think I'll bother. :( |
Post your Targat for the TR anyway. Part of the deal of the TR is that we can SEE the figure in question. All I see are their backs so I can't comment on whether they suck or not. lol. I've noticed that people were stealing days or whatever. It's been fine for over a year. If anything, most of us tend to forget. Or maybe it's just me. Just keep going, things will be fine.

Wtf?

If people are stealing days and others ideas for the TR then something should be done. Especially if it's resulting in this kind of feeling between members. You said yourself G, people who state who they are using get dibs, Nem stated he'd be using TARGAT and Countdown/Stalker. I believe Stalker was a back up plan in case Countdown didn't arrive in the post in time. I dunno whats going on. It's probably just been a misunderstanding but something should be done. Perhaps we should all state who we'd like to profile for the Target Range, or if not, then it's our own fault if someone beats us to it. If people are posting when they shouldn't be, what the hell is with that? What's the need to take the piss to that extent? We have a good community here. Let's keep it that way? We took enough crap off knowitalljoe. Let's not let petty actions of a minority ruin the community. Dave |
I actually considered.
I actually seriously considered pulling out of my idea altogether. I now have good reasons not to. I am going to go ahead and post my original two submissions on the 25th.
I will be spotlighting G.I.JOE Astronaut Countdown Vs Iron Grenadiers T.A.R.G.A.T You'll notice both figures share a similar theme.. and are both from the same year. I wanted to keep within a theme or same series. I'll be doing this with all my TR Pictures. Think of it more like an ultimate enemies idea :cool: |
