Hi everyone! I was just wondering when you guys take regular dio pics do they show something that is currently going on in your Joeverse or are they stand alone shots just for fun and to post. I was just curious. I just grab some Cool G.I. Joe Stuff and take some pics and I was wondering what everyone else does and if anyone cares to share. Thanks again!!! BKC

Great topic, man.

I would say that 90% of the 3.75" figures I shoot are part of my Joeverse. At the same time, I'm still adding stuff and fleshing ideas out so often it's a work in progress. In my mind, I don't actually post anything that would be considered out of the ordinary for my 'verse. As anyone who has read my latest dio, it gets pretty weird but at the same time, it stays rooted in my Joe Reality so it's not totally off the page.

As for Sigma6, that's a little bit more up in the air. When I wrap up Episode 2 someday, I'll begin work on my 8" dio. I've been coming up with a lot of ideas that don't quite work with the 3.75" due to articulation and hell, even the 'verse that 3.75" is in. However, Sigma6 will be, I suppose more like Universal Soldier whereas my 3.75" is more like Aliens.

Like G said, my pics will generally fit within the bounds of what I consider normal for my Joeverse, although my pics are not really ever part of a storyline, just one shots (or maybe a few in a mini-series) of whatever figures or vehicles I feel like using at the time.

My shots sometimes have a mini-series idea on background. The Oktober Guard shots are part of a mini-series, 'coz I wanna shot them running over all my Cobras. Other times I just grab some figs and go out to shot something that will make me happy.

For a dio shot I need to go out with the full idea and just do that, nothing else. So I don't loose the right direction.

I've currently given up on the Joeverse thing until the day when I have editing software enough to make some decent dio stories.

So they are just pictures.

So far I’ve only used figures and vehicles that exist in my Joe verse. The pics I take are just for fun, though I’m going to take a couple pics that may hint at a future dio.
