In an effort to get to know each other, I’ll start the introductions by telling you about myself. I’m Ender098 aka Frank. Well, I TRY to be FRANK (that one never gets old). I have been collecting GI Joes since I was 14 back in 1982. I have a wife and two kids, and I’m an active Duty Marine. My hobbies are Martial Arts, Military History, Action movies and everything about Joe and Dio Stories!

I found this site a few years ago and lurked for a while, and one day my wife looked at my collection and asked what I was gonna do with them. As she put it “You’re never gonna “play” with them! I happened to be on JoeDios website and thought….HEY! I have a Camera and some Joes…..I could totally do THIS!

So far I have created 5 Dio Stories;

FALLOUT (never finished it, and it will be available soon in PDF Format!)

The Rise Of the Shadow Guard An introduction to the state of Cobra in my JoeVerse!

Your Loving Son, Chris A Companion piece to LordRaven (aka Shane’s) Dio Story “Your Loving Son, Jim”

Riddick, Run! The Start of my Venom II/ Riddick Storyline

Enemy of My Enemy Parts I and II - A continuation of the Riddick/Venom II series


I also written reviews and how-to’s in order to help out beginning Dio Story creators! There is plenty to do here and if you learn something or have something to contribute, please do. No one is perfect, and the learning by making mistakes is as fun as succeeding with this hobby! I Totally love it. You don’t have to have a HUGE collection. Most photos or Dios focus on 3 or fewer characters!

If you need help, guidance, wanna chat with me or even critique my work….feel free. I’m always looking to help or get new fresh input!

We have a lot of members who are VERY talented and fun to just chat with and pick their brains! Let us know about yourself and..



Oh..here I am in the SeaWrold T-Shirt!
