General Discussion / Rules and Guidelines
« Last post by Nekoman on July 04, 2023, 11:07:28 PM »
Rules:

1: No Flaming, Personal Attacks or Harassing
I have a personal policy of calling it like I see it. At this forum however, I'd like the focus to stay on showcasing GI Joe photos, so please avoid picking a fight.

2: No Spam Links or Posts
Do not repeatedly post links to your unrelated personal endeavors or repeatedly make nonsense posts. Any links to GI Joe related content you've made for a blog or YouTube video are allowed and encouraged.

3: No Porn
No porn or graphic images of any kind. This does not apply to photos strictly of toys in any abstract way, so zombies or dirty jokes about Dr. Mindbender are okay.

4: Nothing Illegal
If something you'd like to post is illegal for any reason in your own country, please do not post it here.

5: No BST/Panhandling
In general I would like it if trades and purchases were not facilitated on this site. As well, do not come here begging for donations or anything of that nature.

Guidelines:

Images from Other People:
It is okay to post catalog scans and old images from other people as long as it's clear where the image came from, or that it's not yours.

No Selfies or Extremely Low-Quality Pictures:
You do not have to take amazing pictures to post here, but images with egregious issues like real people or animals being prominently featured are not allowed.

Post as Much as You Like:
There's back end controls that let me limit the amount of images posted at any given time. Generally, most of us toss up a single picture and take turns, but it's perfectly reasonable to post several images at a time.

Commenting:
You do not have to comment on pictures to participate on this forum. My goal is solely to have a place where it's easy to look at a wealth of GI Joe photos (Although, nice comments are always appreciated.).

Construction Style:
Although this is "ARAH" Gallery, any GI Joe toys are welcome here. Your stunning GI Joe Extreme diorama you built in your basement does not have to hide any longer.

Yeah, I finally saw his post.

Some people think he's getting shut down by a cease and desist order. But...if that were so, that's the sort of thing that would be immediate.

Maybe the hassle and/or cost of making them is getting too high?

From the sounds of it, I think he's cancelled almost everything and won't be making anything after some more BATS and Segies? I just heard that today, so I'm not sure.

With that said, I probably wouldn't have bought any Jinx or Beachhead repaints. There's enough of Beachhead out there, meanwhile I just don't like the Jinx mold all that much.

I get the feeling Joe collecting is going to get a lot more boring.

Why is BM making Jinx and Beach-Head?  I mean, if I had his resources...Jinx might cross my mind eventually, if only to remake DeSimone's custom as "real" figures, but I can't imagine doing too much with Beach-Head's molds. Though IIRC Beach-Head's design started out as a Cobra,  Cobra repaints of Joe molds can only go so far. And there were already official Tiger Force and Night Force releases.
Will Red Laser ever return? What's next Tunnel Rat?  Why do I comment on factory customs I never buy? Because...not much else to talk about. I never see the 4" "Retro" stuff in stores.

Why am I posting on a forum only slightly more used than Joedios forum.

Why the flying fudge did Black Major reuse Roadblock V2's waist for his recent Snake-Eyes/Officer/Mortal/Invasor/Whatever customs? WHY REPEAT HASBRO'S IDIOCY?

I'm not gonna ask him. No reason can make sense.

I'm out of touch with the aftermarket but what is worth the high bids on this lot?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/392901233981

Not the Flak Viper, not unless newbie collectors are idiots.
Maybe the CC has the eyebrows painted? Damned if I can tell for sure.

Good grief, that's insane.  What a weird lot too.

I noticed the vintage prices were jacked up at the local toy store when I was there last week.  I have no idea what idiots would pay these prices.

Interesting new wrinkle today.  One of RL's defenders accused BM of stealing molds from competitors.  Understanding timing and the fact that BM released a lot of small run stuff that wasn't highly publicized is tough for them.  And, the BM made an updated Cobra Trooper mold since the old one had issue.  But, hey, why let facts get in the way....

Haha, I figured this would become more along these lines at some point. The complete silence on other producers (Or former producers) was pretty blatant.

If the "stealing" of molds is less physical and more "GODDAMNIT HE'S USING OCCIFER PARTS! WE WERE GUNNA DO THAT!", well that's a glass house, considering TBM was upfront he was going to be doing the Steel Brigade, and welp, here's a guy doing Tiger Force, Night Force and Sky Patrol Steel Brigades!

I'd be pissed if they used my photos, too.  That's bullshit.  Here's photos by fans of BM, but BM actually sucks.  The only place my photos have ever been stolen in 20 years is on Facebook.  Guys there take them all the time.  But, they post them with no credit.  It's not malicious.  But, seeing as I'm about to post a month's worth of rarities photos that aren't mine, I don't wade into those waters too much.
