Hi Everyone! Reintroducing myself-Maxtype is now Captain Max! My name is Dave,but I always go by 'Max' online,my favorite character from the anime Super Dimensional Fortress Macross,ace-of-aces Valkyrie Pilot Max Jenius!

I'm a long time GI Joe ARAH fan,all the way back to "Straight-Arm" Joe.My parents sold most of my collection in 1990,but I think that makes me love Joe all the more.

My health kept me out of the Service( wanted to join Marines or Navy and fly!) but I have nothing but admiration for our soldiers,sailors,airmen/women,and Marines.

I love anime,sci-fi,aircraft,and military models-and I might have the largest collection of 1/72 scale Macross Valkyrie Fighter models in the US!

Favorite Joe:Lady Jaye
Fave Cobra :The Baroness
Fave TV Show:Star Trek TOS
Fave Food:Tater Tots!
Fave Drink:Margaritas!

Thank you kindly!

What? Introductions? Oh, right, er, I guess it's time I introduced myself (now that this thread has been here for weeks).

My name is Ryan; I'm 22 and live in Austin, TX where I'm working for an environmental engineering firm. I have one semester left in civil engineering at the University of Texas here and I'm not sure what or where I'll be after that. I have a wonderful wife, Katherine, whom I married just over a month ago.

I've been into Joe since I can remember; I believe my first figure was Recoil, given to me by my parents as a reward for doing something good (don't remember what). That began a long obsession with the toys that lasted until adolescence. My main memories of G.I. Joe are from 1988-90, so I have a huge soft spot for that entire era.

Of course, eventually, I decided I was too "grown up" for them, so I tried to eschew anything that resembled "playing" with my Joes, but still couldn't bring myself to part with them. Sooner or later I grew up a little and realized I could have a lot of fun collecting as an adult hobby. My dad and I started to follow G.I. Joe developments and even went to the 1997 Convention in San Antonio (we lived in Houston).

After that, we were pretty much hooked. I've been an avid collector ever since, with a few occasional hiatuses brought about by being busy with school or just moving into other things. In the past two years or so I've really jumped back into collecting with both feet and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I started taking photos of my Joes before finding this site, then lurked here for at least a year and was so inspired by the awesome stuff here that I started putting a lot of effort and (attempted) creativity into photographing my collection.

I'm slowly building a section of my website for my collection (see link below); and I try to feature a lot of my best photos and customs there. I love the community on this site and am thrilled to have some people to share this awesome hobby with.

Yo Joe!

Congratulations,newlywed!

I'm Steve, from Bristol, England. I'm single father, with two boys aged 7 and 4. I was first introduced to Action Force in about 1980, and followed the line through the Red Shadow era, the Cobra era, all the way till about '88, when it was no longer 'cool' to buy toys. I do regret this now!

I briefly got back into collecting about 5 years ago, but didn't last long due to poor availability in UK. I stopped, and focussed on Transformers. But now with the 25th anniversary, and experience ordering overseas, I'm back with a vengeance!

I currently don't have anything, but I have the 25th stuff on preorder, and should have it soon. From there I will expand! I prefer the vintage RAH molds over the newer JvC stuff, so will probably concentrate on that.

Hi Bravo!

It's the same model of the gray launcher that comes with Salvo (v2), but I can't remember which joe came with the green one

Bartus.

Checkpoint from Steel Brigade Security. i have that but never open it.

Well, most of ya know me, I'm Shane, AKA LordRaven. Right now in Nova Scotia about to move to Manitoba to be with Jen (JadenSaphire) who's so into my Joe stuff it ain't funny.
I've been a Joe fan since I was a kid, my dad is military so that helped fuel my love. I've been on the site a lil over a year now methinks, and have made some AWESOME friends here and had a good laugh with ya'll.
My favorite movies are Star Wars, Aliens, Army Of Darkness, The Thing, Clerks, and anything with guns and war and to do with Vietnam.
I love comics, music, movies, video games, just a lil bit of everything.
I've got a dio perpetually on the development phase called "The Last Chance Squad" and the one I worked on with Frank (Ender098) called "Your Loving Son, Jim", which I think turned out pretty good. I know the gang here are great at helping new people out with thier photos, look at my old stuff and newer stuff....leaps and bounds. Have fun here people, that's the deal!
