Would You Folks Be Interested In Trying Something...
I was thinking about making a simple custom Joe and/or Cobra figure, with a simple back story, not too specific of an MOS.
I'd snap a picture of this figure then send it to another fotographer on the site who would then take a picture of the figure and send it off to the next fotographer who would take a picture of it and send it on from there and so on and so on.
I'm not sure if our friends in South America, Asia or the land of Auss could get in on this simply because of the cost of shipping, tho I'm not sure what an individual figure would cost to send to those places.
Let me know if you guys want to try this. I'll try to come up with a figure.

We did this on JBL last year......took 3 figures and set 3 teams........figures went across the US and 2 of them went international. I ended up only getting 2 of them back but it was fun to see people post up their pics......
The cavat to this is, if you are going to participate, make sure to follow through-its a real bummer when somebody says 'yes' and then doesn't keep the momentum rolling...

It was 2 years ago (or did it finally finish up last year?). I remember wanting to participate but because my wife was in China with the camera, couldn't. That was 2008. I'm always up for taking pics of the little guys around the lab area.

I'd prolly try to send it to the known members of the forum. Folks who post pictures four or five times a week maybe, just so we know who they are, and that they'll post pictures of the figure to keep it rolling and send it on to the next member. This won't exclude the new guys because some of the newer members do tend to post often.

Blood For the Baron have run something similar with Muton (known as the Mutour
Have a look here (links to participants' images at the bottom of the page):
http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/dio...tour/index.html
and a few pics combined on the same page:
http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/mutour/index.html
Might be interesting to have each participant shoot part of a story line (which they can make up), like the kids game where each one writes a sentence that the next has to follow on from...? Otherwise simply seeing the sights in each participant's location would still be cool.
Anyway sounds like fun

I kinda figure a Chuckles might make for a good figure for this. CIA agent gets to travel all over the world. Shipwreck too might be another good one.
I might be interested, but it just depends on the figure. A custom figure.. that would be interesting.
