Coming soon: 'JoeSpecialOps'

As most of you know, I am Fisher. I joined the site last fall, but I don't get to post as much as I would like. I am 30 years old, I have been collecting Joes since I was 6 back in 82. I work for Motorola and I am the evening supervisor for our Virginia call center. My girlfriend Misty and I are expecting a baby due between April 30th and May 5th, so most of my time recently has been devoted to helping her with anything and everything I can. We just moved into a larger place, thankfully, so after a weekend of unpacking, I should be able to spend a little more time out in the yard taking some pics.

Aside from Joes, other interests of mine include reading, whether it be in comic form or novel, if it's in print I will read it. I also enjoy writing, mainly short stories, but I also have a couple of dios planned (soon as spring hits I am going to start shooting, if all goes well). I am a huge movie junkie, my dvd collection now requires another dvd shelf, as I have over 300 titles at last count. I also collect edged weapons, axes, daggers, knives, swords, but a lot of those are put in storage now with the baby on the way. I also have a samll comic collection (nowhere near what I used to have) and collect Transformers as well, mainly Alternators and Classics.

I love to travel, when I was younger I travelled as much as possible. I have lived in 11 different states over the years as a result. For some reason though, I always ended back up in Virginia.

I am addicted to ink, I have 10 tattoos and crave more. I have designs for my next 5 planned out.

I also keep an iguana, to me, greatest pet ever.

Just a few things that I can think of in my insomnia filled early morning hours...

I Am Fear!

I'm Skot, 25, and I live in NE Ohio in a little town called Geneva. It's about an hour east of Cleveland. I work in Mentor as a Purchasing Agent for a machine and tool company. Oooh, I drive a Honda Element and I love my big, orange toaster!!! I'm engaged to the most wonderful woman in the universe! My Konstantine, Bonnie Jean. I had such a crush on her all throughout high school and I never got the guts up to ask her out. 6 years later, I came across her on my friend's MySpace page of all places and it started there! Now, almost 2 years later, we have a house together and we're planning on starting a family. She's very supportive of my hobby and loves that I take such an interest in something that I'm so passionate about. I'm into Joes, obviously, but I also love movies and certain tv shows. Fave movies = Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, Boondock Saints, LotR trilogy, Star Wars movies, Batman Begins, Spiderman 2, X2, The Departed. Fave tv shows = 24, Prison Break, Heroes, House, Bones, The Office, Scrubs, Shark. I also LOVE comics and I collected them HARDCORE for about 12 years. Now, I just pick up graphic novels and trade paperbacks. "Y: The Last Man" and "Fables" are now among my faves! I also love outdoor things, like camping, hiking, canoeing, swimming, cornhole!!, biking, playing catch.

I've been an avid GIJoe collector since I was 5-6. Roadblock v2, Falcon and the Road Toad were my first Joe items. As a kid, I had a huge collection, but unfortunately, they all disappeared as I got older. I never stopped collecting, though. GIJoe, TFs, TMNT, MOTU, Marvel toys, Legends. When GIJoe came back with JvC in 2002, I started all over again and bought everything I saw. I never got the chance to army build as a kid, but I got really into it in the past few years. I built up quite a Cobra army! Ebay was a good friend to me!! I bought many toys I wanted as a kid! I started to explore the web and I found different websites involving Joes. General's Joes REALLY got me back into the hobby hardcore (thanks Justin!!). I sought out different dio sites and became addicted to checking them every day! I even began work on my own 3.75" diostory called "The Thirteen Agenda" and those of you that read it gave me some pretty positive feedback, so I shall continue it this spring.

When I heard about Sigma 6, I was skeptical, but I had an open mind and had collected many various lines over the years. The pics that first surfaced piqued my interest, and months later when I saw Spirit on the shelves, I picked him up and have been hooked ever since. Army building isn't nearly as easy seeing as how there's only 2 figures that can be army built (without customizing or inventing any new characters or factions, i.e. using Shouri Crossbow Storm Shadow as a Nitecreeper, etc.). Plus, at $10 a figure...it gets pricey. I don't mind paying $10-$15 a figure, because they're just packed with lots of awesome and useful gear and weaponry (for the most part). I own all but a couple (which I'll probably never get due to the figures lacking any kind of redeeming qualities in my eyes) and I am nearing the finishing stages of putting out the first episode of my ongoing dio-universe entitled AVALANCHE. I know a lot of the posters that frequent JoeDios are not into S6, but for me, it's just a refreshing and awesome new look at my favorite toyline of all time.

That's it!

Hi!

My name is Luís Galileu Gall Tonelli, but you can call me Tone, or TG, like most of my pals here. And I really like the TG think . I'm 26, (makin' 27 in April 23) and I live in Brazil, but in the very south, that we call the backyard from Brazil. I'm trying to adopt a child that already live with me and my wife, I'm a high school teacher (physics).

I always was a G.I. Joe fan, but just after June '05 I could start buying them due to get some extra money and I heard about eBay. Nowdays my hobby isn't just G.I. Joe, but I'm trying to get more 3 3/4 toys. Elite Force, CORPS, Star Wars, Chap Mei, etc. I'm working hard on my SW collection, but I'm focused on the Clone Wars time line.

Next year I'll start to work on my Master degree and in some other real life projects, like a photoshop class and probably an english class too. As you could see I've some problems in english .

I love to play soccer and I'm really good at it. I love to watch some cartoons. I can't sleep before 1 AM, but when in vacation just after 5 AM. I love the noght time, is when my brains are in full motion.

My name is Eric, but most of my friends (including my woman) call me Phu. It's a nick that's been around since middle school (I'm 25, 26 on April 18). Being called Eric is actually pretty strange at this point, unless I'm talking to my parents! They live in MN and I live in FL. I plan on moving back up north in a couple years; Florida sucks.

I love to program; I'm now running IT for a timeshare phone room. Systems administration was never something I was interested in, but it's not so bad now that I've switched the office over to Linux. I graduated from Iowa State U in '03 with a useless degree in computer science. I also run a bunch of forums and own way too many domains (over a dozen now, I think).

I adore movies, though I can't stand TV (commercials make me want to break things). Lately my girlfriend and I have been watching Star Trek: TNG; we're almost done, and I've started watching Enterprise. Sci fi RULES!

I loved Joes when I was a kid; I got back into them not too long ago when I realized they had been releasing new ones. When I started posing them on my desk and making up humorous little stories with them, I figured someone else had to be doing something similar -- I had no idea how many people were, though! I enjoy building sets; my first was a dojo, the second was a public restroom, and now I'm working (VERY slowly) on an industrial facility that promises to be pretty darn cool.

My main interest at this point is molding and casting custom figures; it's tough, and I have not gotten the results I want yet, but I'm still working on it. I have a couple customs (an alley viper and a Star Trek redshirt) that I'm hoping to produce in reasonable quantity once I acquire an injection molding machine.

Okay, for those of you who don't already know, my name is Craig, and I live in Melbourne, which is on the southern coast of Australia. I am in my early forties (yeah, I know, probably the site "elder") and very happily married to the beautiful Deanne, and we've been together twenty years this year. I work as a laboratory technician in the plastics industry (no, I don't make Joes!) and it's a pretty demanding job, as a large part of it involves quality assurance on our high speed production lines, so I'm always on the go. And that's a good thing, because I'm a fitness fanatic, so I enjoy being active. No desk job for me!
My first Joes were the old Adventure Team 12" flock haired figures (a hairstyle I now happily endorse ), and every Christmas and birthday that rolled around would add to my collection. My friends and I would stage great adventures in our back yards after school, but there weren't that many battles, as Cobra was non-existent in those days! I got into 3 3/4" Joes when they first came out here in '87. I bought one for the memories, and got hooked from there to a collection today similar in size to Frank's.
Outside of Joes, I have a large collection of relics from the US Civil war, which is another of my passions, and has led me to a couple of trips to the States in the past, with hopefully more to come. I also have a huge collection of Nascar 1/64 diecast, and love watching the Chevy teams dominate the competition (especially Hendrick Motor Sports, go Jeff, go Jimmie!) My wife and I also used to be avid trading card collectors (mainly Marvel/DC stuff), and have around 18,000 cards, including some real rarities. Don't even get me started on my wife's Beanie Baby collection, they eat up valuable Joe storage space!
Well, that's about it guys; happily married, busy job, keeping fit, and Joes. Nice and simple, just how I like it.

I'm Jay, it's not my real name but it does the job. I'm 22, which I guess means I'm one of the "babies" of this site.
Unless you want to hear about Aspie diagnostics and boring, pointless childhood memories, that's pretty much all there is to say about me.
