Ok, I think it's safe to say that a lot of us pick and choose who are actually on our Joe teams and in our Joeverses. Surely, some of the characters (and their toy counterparts) just aren't used or even acknowledged. So what characters do you guys PURPOSELY throw out of your Joeverse? (This is different than simply NOT using characters for whatever reason, but they exist.)






First on my list?

Link Talbot. That moron does not exist in any form in my JoeVerse.

Venomous Maximus. This Serpentor rehash has no place in my Joeverse. Yes, some of the venomized troops do. RazorClaws, Sand Scorpions and Swamp Rats in particular. But VenMax, nope.

Dr. Mindbender. People will question on me on this one, but the way I see it, if there's a mad scientist on Cobra, it's Overkill. Mindbender never did much for me. Overkill, in my mind, is capable of more just as Destro actually designs and produces weapons for Cobra.

Lastly, ALMOST ALL THE DIC and beyond characters. It's kinda like GI Joe Extreme. Those guys don't exist. I got out of Joe when Airborne turned into a blonde caucasian, y'know? So most of the characters never existed to me.

That's just a partial list and I wasn't about to hit yojoe.com to find out WHO was made 1990+ or whatever. Don't forget Raptor, Crystal Ball, Zanzibar, & Roadpig...

WHAT!!! no roadpig. i couldnt see the noks without him. i actually use all the ones you named, well they exist, but mostly as fillers in the background. oh i use cobra-la too. just changed the story around.

as for who doesnt exist in my joeverse. billy, the hard master, the soft master, none of that stuff exist in my world. i hate it. since i am more influenced by the cartoon, i would rather have mara, sharp and other characters like that then billy and other lame characters. i know, im on the bad list for saying that. but there is just to much stupidity there.

now the aliens do not exist in my world. the mega monsters i use, but not as they are supposed to be. i also use venomius, but he was created from scratch, not hawk. i dont use ghostbear, or neo vipers, liked the first ones so dont need any new vipers. im sure there are others, just cant think of them all. i like to use custom characters more then newer ones.

Serpentor

Pretty much all the ridiculous cr@p; Cobra La, VenMax, Raptor, most of BF2000, Headman & friends, most of Star Brigade, Cyber Vipers, Razor Claw, etc. etc. Just give me hard core realism (or at least feasibility) baby!

I have limited my collecting pre 1994, I have only a handful of new sculpted stuff (mainly exclusives) so all the JvC, Spytroops, VvV & 25th stuff is out. In the first run Joes I have no use for:
Crystal Ball
Cobra-La Team
Raptor
Python Patrol (I have 1 of each + a Conquest that see little to no use)
Tiger Force
Psyche-Out
Super Trooper
BF2000
Lightfoot
NINJAS - I hate that crap! Stormy, Ninja-Ku & Satan are my only ones!
Any of the neon figures from the '90s - Eco, Dino, Battle Corps & Star Brigade
I have had all of these guys but have sold them to make room for more meaningful troops. If I could find a Night Force Psyche-Out & Lightfoot I would use them. I have seen Road Pig & Zanzibar mentioned but I think they make great additions to the Dreadnoks.
