I'll speak on this but this is ONLY me.

I prefer to have a certain look to my dios. I can't stand some of the Hasbro sets. As cool as they can be and great fun for kids, I find them lacking. You've seen Speir's backgrounds for his S6 portraits? He f'n repainted the interior of that big space shuttle bay (forgot what the whole set was called). That's tight. But you look at something like the ROCC or the MCC, there's just not enough color variation for me. It looks too plastic-y. So I build all my sets.

I've even built my own interior for the ROCC cuz I didn't like what Hasbro did at all. I was supposed to have done a RHINO interior but never did. Anyway, you've seen my sets. You know how my dios are. For me to go w/ the plastics that Hasbro did, it just don't work for me. ANd being the weirdo I am, I'd build my own GI Joe HQ to scale have it make more sense. I'd love to build THE ROCK.


However, in the S6 dio, I've been using a lot of cut n paste on fotos I've done. Like using the EMP/Sci-Fi Museum and cityscapes. When I do the 3.75" dio for next year, I'll be pasting a huge aerial battle over some tropical islands.
