For me!

-Zombies
-Crossovers with things like Super-heroes, Movies and things that wouldn't match the timeline
-White Ripcord
-Storm Shadow being a good guy
-Carbon Copy characters. What's the difference between Thunder and Thunderwing? or Snow Job and White-Out?

How about you?

Neon Figures

Duke as a Goody Two Shoes

GIJOE as the No Dirt On Boots their intended to be

Cobra! (No, just kidding)

Let's see.... in my Joeverse I don't truly have super heroes, mostly because I've never really been involved with them. There are some exceptions, though, Spiderman, Wolverine, etc. They exist in the Joeverse, but rarely ever used.

Dreadnoks are smarter, and more biker gang than simply Zartan gang.

A super, larger than life Zartan. In my Joeverse, Zartan is a cool dude who likes to rob from the rich and give to the poor... just kidding on that one too. But seriously, he's cool, smooth, and highly professional, much like the Marvel Comics version, and would never dare challenge Cobra Commander.

A wimpy Cobra Commander. My CC is cunning, shrewed, plotting. A "play chess" kinda person who also cares about his troops. Why? Because troops cost money. An army doesn't march on bread alone, it requires lots of funding. So he and the Crimson Twins are pretty important.

Zombies, no, I really never been into that genre. I can't imagine the dead or near dead becoming animated.

My Duke is hardcore.

I do use both Black and White Ripcord. However, White Ripcord got killed or retired, since the Joes are about 25+ years.. so there's changes and replacements.

Dialtone 1 got killed, and Dialtone 2, the female one, now takes his place.

I've got aliens in my Joeverse. Why? Well, if Transformers can exist in the Joeverse, then for me so can aliens. Anyway, makes for some interesting adventures.

So anyway, I definately do not have the following: wimpy Cobra, clean cut Joes.

Hmmmmmmmm..........its a bit easier for me to say what we *DO* put in our Joeverse, as opposed to what we don't.


That being said, I'll say right off, Flint & I don't incorporate death of named characters. We see enough death in the real world and we can't control that-but in our Joeverse, WE are the 'be all and end all'. So if we want to give someone a rest, they don't die-they are either sent off on a TOP SECRET mission or they are injured in a battle (or something similar) and placed in a coma for as long as we need.

99% of the 'multi-dressed' figures are renamed to be someone completely new. The exception really being Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes, Destro, Zartan-y'know, some of the characters who have really good (or multipurpose) figures.

We don't follow one single aspect of the canon. Some are strictly comic, others are strictly 'toon and still others only follow the file cards. Flint & I have spent over a quarter of a century taking aspects of all three and then utilizing the pieces to form our own take on 'G.I. Joe'. For us, it makes it that much more interesting to see what and how we can incorporate at any given time.

Its interesting that others have talked about Superheroes and aliens and such. I don't want to say that we categorically don't use them, its more like we haven't gotten to a point yet where we feel the need to introduce them into the fold. Case in point, Tony Stark does deal with the G.I. Joe team as a weapons design/distributor, but he's not walking around the PITT in his Iron Man armor.

The whole Scarlett/Snake Eyes thing. No. In our Joeverse, its been Duke and Scarlett from the word 'go'. Snake Eyes is an old friend of Joe's and as such, he's always looked at Scarlett as more of a 'sister type' (hey, if Larry Hama can say it, then so can we!). Besides, Snake Eyes has his own lady love (and if you want to know, just stay tuned!) and they have been happily together for a long time.

Cobra Commander as a resident of 'Cobra-La'. Again, no. CC is and always will be a former Used Car Salesman Extraordinaire. So we're not going to see any "I wasssss oncccccccce a maaaaan..." Tho' we do have him run his 'S's from time to time, just for sh*ts 'n' giggles.




I'm sure that there are other things, I just can't think of them at the moment......but in looking back at this, I'm surprised at how much I was able to get out-considering that I thought I wouldn't be able to ramble off this much in one shot!

Coming soon: 'JoeSpecialOps'

No cross overs of any kind.

Dreadnoks as silly comic relief. Funny because they're stupid, sure, but they're hard edged drug and alcoholic narco-biker/terrorists. Grape soda and jelly donuts was code fo amphetamines and vodka maybe mixed with grape juice if they just woke up from a stupor. Oh, and that wreck in the corner, it's Zartan. When not pushing heroin through his veins, he does alright.

Duke as an enlisted man. Hawk gave him a choice, go to OCS and accept several secret promotions, or leave the team.

Lasers.

Black Ripcord as well, reactive armor, accelorator suits etc.

I'll get back later once I ever get around to anything serious.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

I don't really do crossovers. I use other toylines and use them as something else. Like the Clone Troopers who showed up in Transformations (that old dio story) were 'alien, armored warriors' which in theory they ARE but they were NOT SW duders. I used Microman figures but I didn't use their names (not that I knew them).

I'm considering bringing in some Marvel superheroes but they won't really be... I dunno. Like War Machine. I plan on using him but it's more about an experimental type of armor. I was going to use Deadpool and Maverick who team up to deal with the Arashikage; that was a way to incorporate some level of Marvelness in the JoeVerse. It didn't quite pan out tho.

Anyone who has read my dios knows that I buy random toys for the stories. From the lizard duder from SpiderMan to the cyberunits from McFarlane toys, etc.

I am no way against zombies. There are so many different levels of the idea behind zombies (Doomsday, I Am Legend, Resident Evil, etc) that we I wouldn't necessarily use walking dead but you never know. In theory, the guys from Universal Soldier were zombies, right?




If anything, I think Cobra LA will stay out of my JoeVerse.

I am not against cross overs but I like my Joeverse to be based in a more Military/Terror orginizational world. I will use SCIFI if it suits and want to do a Dr. Who crossover someday. Now the movie that I showed you guys a couple months ago is in no way the Joeverse that I base my toy collecting in. I have thought of using Zombies but will probably never do it as it would be a lot of custom work that I really do not want to do.
