I need to vent and this is the thread for it. Man, all these non stop 25th pics are roitting my soul. I loved this site before the 25ths got so popular. Yes I have some, but only bc I enjoy the hunt for new joes, even if they suck, and even then I just paint and disfigure them. And yes I do use some in a few shots, but when I do, they fit nice with the traditionals. There are just soo many shots of just 25th figures in the shot. I love this site bc I get to see pics of old troops I don't have or haven't thought of in awhile. A picture could be original soul-ly on the basis of what figures you chose to put in your shot. But it hurts my heart and my dedication to the site when I see the same 10 25th figs over and over, I like seeing the customs, even thats fun, I love to paint and hack. But seeing the same person post the same figures over and over drives me batty. I miss so much seeing awesome figures I didn't have. I didn't know about the laser vipers till this site, now I have a bunch, I didn't know about the blue undertows untill this site, now I have a bunch. You can say I just don't know my joes then, but I say I didn't take notice of that fig until I saw them in a great pic and then wanted to hunt them down. I get no excitment over seeing a 25th s.e. or a 25th firefly over and over. Infact I wish so much I could change my name just bc I don't like seeing him so much, we all saw firefly enough with the older figs, but now I'm not even sure I like him anymore. (Admins: If you listening is it possible to change)

This was not meant as a personal attack, a singling out, or any other kind of attack on any of my friends here only as an attack on hasbro for giving me sh*tty toys and hurting my passion which is this site. I was not trying to offend any collectors or dio makers. I have a bunch of 25ths, I still buy them. just not sure why I do, and I don't have fun with them. I love everyone here and your work regardless of compositon, its cool we even have a place to do this. That said, just a personal opinion, don't hold that against me.
Now back to the booze!
