General Joe Talk / Re: What Is Your Most Favorite Cobra Figure
« on: March 14, 2007, 11:33:55 PM »
After mulling about this for a little while I could only narrow it down to a handful of my faves. I also found I have alot of fondness for the figures I had when I was a kid; I missed out on alot of the earlier classic figs so my selections are from what I played with. In no order -
Alley Viper V1 - even tho the colors are whacked for his specialty I felt it was an awesome sculpt with kickass accessories.
IG Destro - Sure its not his iconic outfit but I always thought he looked more imposing in this form.
Techno-Viper - I've only ever had one but he was tons of fun to play with; all those repair tools made for some nice interrogation tools while playing too
Of course, I still love the original Firefly & CG as well - they just came into my collection later on.

In the very least I'll be coming by towards the end of the meet. Just with the way everything falls with the upcoming wedding, honeymoon and what have you I most likely will have to work that day 
However, if I can swing it....

I've gotta agree with Jon; out of the 3 figures I think this guy's the best yet. I can't put my finger on what draws me to it exactly, but its freakin' sweet looking. I can't wait to see the actual figure!
Props to Loop for sure; you're always outdoing yourself, man!

Introductions / Metro comes out of semi-retirement!
« on: March 13, 2007, 12:07:57 AM »
Or something like that at least
I can't really say I've ever been a huge presence on joecanuck or joecustoms as I'm more of the shy forum lurker type but I do try and stay informed about whats going on. Heh, I still seem to miss the big stuff sometimes though.
As for the re-introduction part, here goes...
Born & raised in Hamilton I grew up with GI Joe and its still my all time favorite toy line - nothing beat going to TRU with my allowance and picking up a figure. Well, at least when it took up like half an aisle, memory's a bit foggy on that. One of my favourite memories is of my dad on xmas morning putting together the only thing I had asked for - the Rolling Thunder. In my eyes its still the jewel in my collection thanks to the memories attached to it. I've also done a small number of customs which can be seen over at joecustoms (if yer interested of course. they're under Metro there too ). I've still got my parts bin loaded with stuff including a few half-finished customs it just seems I can never sit down and find the time to finish them up. Seems a special someone always has something for me to do hehe.
I guess that pretty much covers it at least as far as Joe goes, anything else I'm sure'll come out in time

Couple pics you say? Hmmm.... lol
After having been absent for pretty much the whole year I've missed out on quite a bit. Between work being rediculously screwy and travelling between here and Maryland monthly (stories for another time ) my joes and customs have sadly fallen by the wayside.
It was a sad day to visit BHT, but it was also excellent to somewhat catch up with folks, even tho I did miss out on quite a bit being at the end of the dinner table. The store will certainly be missed, but the friendship that came out of it and the love of the hobby is still here.
I've always been a bit of a lurker, but I've got some catching up to do so I'll just have to make a point of posting more :thumbsup:

Along with the self custom, I'm also planning on bringing an assortment of Bats and several other figs. I can bring along another Snow cat or 2, as well as a Wolf for the cobra cold weather guys. Anything else we may need?

Wow, I may be a couple days late catching this Loop, but I do hope all is well after the surgery man. Best wishes!
