And thanks as always for making the Hasbro Q&A possible.

- "I do it with the Borg, because it's cheap." Giggity giggity goo! ;D Seriously, though, I never thought of Army Building outside of Joes and Star Wars. A Borg Army sounds too cool - especially if you Army-Build Red Shirts! Army-Building: Resistance is Futile!
- I'll be honest. Once I read "Ice Cream Soldier," I got up and walked away from my computer... but only to put some books away and come right back since I was interested in what Ed had to say.
- Custom Armies: a very interesting idea! I don't have the time/patience/materials/money for that kind of project, but I really respect anyone who does.
- Hasbro sure knows how to avoid answering questions...
- Think of the children all you want. Get between me and my Vipers and there'll be a problem. :wink:
- Anti-Building's a fun idea and those dios are great, but I don't think I could get into that.
- Man, Joe Canuck sure gets around!
- Those photos are epic. If I'm ever in BC, I'll have to visit that store!
- I have to disagree with the Viper review. He's not perfect, but he's pretty damn great! Wrists and ankles are a problem, but I honestly wouldn't have noticed the proportion issue had you not brought it up...
- Hee hee, the Morality Lesson comic is pretty funny.
- Justin's diocomic is amazing. Taking the figures outside looks great, and the Photoshop Motion Blur filter really helps the action look believable.
Wow. This is the biggest issue yet, and it's all about a similar theme, too! You guys really know how to make a great newsletter.
If you want another fig comic to fill the gap until Justin's new stuff, albeit one that's less action-packed and and more humour-oriented, I'd be glad to lend mine for a while.

Has anyone tried to fix the wrists with a hot water dip?

Based on the content it's obvious a lot of work goes into producing these. I don't read every article thoroughly, as certain sections don't particularly interest me (generally not into customizing or dio-stories for example, though in the future I may try customizing and the articles provide a nice reference), but there's enough there for me to enjoy the issue.
Only one bit of constructive criticism. A pet peave of mine is people using "of" instead of the " 've " contraction. For example from the first page "You may not of noticed..." should be "You may not've noticed...". I mention it since it's occurred a couple times now, and little things like that detract from the over all great job. Perhaps an additional proof-reader or editor would help? I'd offer my not-so-qualified services if I wasn't too busy with work and school. :) Of course it's a pet peave of mine, so it stands out to me. Maybe not as much to others. Anyways, please take this as constructive, not as a slag. As I said the issues are pretty darn good overall!
I look forward to the next one.

And I totally agree: the themes are DEFINITELY a great idea! Lots of potential, too - the "Joe" issue, the "Cobra" issue, the sub-Forces Issue, the up-up and away flying toys issue...
I look forward to the rest

Haha, Darth, I have to admit that I'm a bit of a grammar nazi, myself. Though, not always a vocal one.
Hehe, me being a referred to as a grammar nazi is kinda funny. Hopefully my comments are taken as they're meant; as friendly criticism. :)

Yeah, sub forces could be fun for themes (Tiger Force or Python Patrol, even if I'm not a fan of repaints), or elemental themes like water, arctic, air, desert etc.
