I'm one of them dio guys so I have to make due with what's available, y'know? Drives me bonkers sometimes because there isn't a toy company out there that makes what what I need. I think SW figures can be worked into a storyline but it's not like Anakin is Anakin in my JoeVerse. NOT that he is, but just saying. It's hard for a lot of us to see something that a toy is not. Anakin showing up in 'verse, it'd be REALLY hard for any viewer to not think that's Anakin. I could call him Carl and everyone would be like, "dude, whatever, that's Anakin you dork." But I bet if you used Mon Motha or some of the other lesser known characters, it'd work.

I'm gonna start working on a dio for someone on the JBL and his prologue has news reporters. Swapping physical bodies would be too much of a headache as would be photoshopping the stuff. Be much easier if some toy company had a few generic reporters. (lol) As if THOSE would sell, right? Anyway, if I were really into SW, then I'd probably be able to shove in a few figures that people won't recognize right away. But as it stands, I have Dooku, Mace and ObiWan who might just get used as reporters.

And let's just say, when Chapter3 of Transformation (titled "Hell Is From Here To Eternity") is posted, you'll see that I use a couple of other toylines to make things work. The key is, will people accept them as what I want in the story or as things from another toyline?




*ah geez, I got off-topic. There are a couple of other toylines I'm using and have also considered trying to plug in Microman.
