News And Notes:
Got a bunch of new figures in and some vehicles. In addition to the above have added a couple of categories to the Advance Search...
You can now search by date stamp. (For some reason the database dumped everything into 2001 and a lot are still being adjusted to the
correct stamp years, but that won't take long.)
Also the International search has been started. There's only a couple in there for the
moment. When searching for International figures you can search either by the country of origin's name for the item, or, you can use the
domestic U.S. identifying name. For example: Say you want to look at Cheetah from Mexico, you can either type in Cheetah in the name field,
or you can type in Stalker (since it's a Stalker figure) and either search option will bring the same figure.
You can also search by a specific country or you can view all International figures/ vehicles by choosing International and checking the
check box.
Got a LARGE update done including a slew of updated figures. Between the other figures and vehicles I could spend the next year just
updating images and doing nothing else... I won't, but I could.
In addition to that the figure parts are in through 1990 (I messed up part of 1982 and some of 1983 so need to redo those, not a big deal
but wanted to mention that. Will fix those shortly) with a total of 25 searchable categories so far. You can also find all gear by figure
by typing the figure name into the keyword search. If there's multiple options for a category they can be further pruned by using the
keyword search as well. And like the figure search you can search by year, color, animals, etc... whatever. Um... I think that's it for now.

1993 Keel Haul (http://http://www.thejoeindex.com/joeindex/usfigures/93/keelhaul1a/) - updated images
Well, have been working on improving some assorted areas of the site lately. Most importantly, the images are getting a major overhaul. All new
additions going forward will be larger, clearer and more detailed. As time allows virtually every older image will be replaced. The current
image updates are the first to be loaded. In addition to improving the regular images, any small tampo/paint applications will be shown in
detail. You can see the first of these on the Keel Haul pages (both of them).
So, as for the other things... The search pages have been tweaked. (Yes, all of them.) For the figure & vehicle searches it is now set so
that any item searched for will return the results WITH a visible thumbnail image of what's being searched for. So no matter what you look
for, if it has a viable record in the database, it will immediately display the result with a thumbnail so that you can see if what it
returns as results is what were searching for.
FYI, the thumbnails CAN be turned off prior to searching (this will need to be done before every new search). So if you have a slow connection or plan to pull up a lot of results, you can turn off the thumbnails if needed. Maybe it's just me but I like to know what I'm looking for is what I think it will be before I click on the link.
Also the results have been tweaked slightly in how they display. Nothing major, but the vertical lists just
weren't that appealing. The parts search is coming along. You can find most parts through 1988 at the moment.

(Edit: Fixed the links here.)
A small update while other work is being done...
And I have to say that while I am enjoying working on the site as much as I have been (when time allows) I'm getting a little worn down with seeing what I'm creating constantly showing up on other sites... well, one site. I'm about ready to throw up my arms and shit-can the whole Index because I can't seem to do a single thing without it appearing elsewhere.
While I've enjoyed working on the site, the frustration of having what I created to be unique and interesting continually mimicked isn't fun. So... I'm going to contemplate the future of the Index for the next little while.

Back to updating. Slowly filling in the lingering gaps for the original run of figures.
Newly Added Figures:
1985 Barbecue (http://http://www.thejoeindex.com/joeindex/usfigures/85/barbecue1/)
1989 Slaughter's Marauders Barbecue (http://http://www.thejoeindex.com/joeindex/usfigures/89/barbecue1a/)

1991 Eco-Warrirors Clean-Sweep (http://http://www.thejoeindex.com/joeindex/usfigures/91/cleansweep1/) - filecard added
2007 Convention Lt. Clay Moore (http://http://www.thejoeindex.com/joeindex/usfigures/07/ltclaymoore1/) - helmet added
And the request - I need some filecard images from 02-06. Especially the t-crotch figures from 02 (need images of these guys too since I don't own any and won't be buying them). Can you help? If so PM me.
Now for the accessory search... Have to start with a big thanks to Beav for his assistance with a part of this... The vehicle section hasn't been uploaded yet (but it's ready). Right now I want to get through 94 (for the figures )in its entirety and then move on to the vehicles and 97-present. Not sure if I'll stick to that order, but I might... anyway, the accessory search works similar to the figure search with some subtle differences.
First, you can search by color. Just picking a color will bring up all items of that color. You can search for only the animals. You can search for every accessory by year (only through 85 at the moment). The keyword area can be used to search for gear from a specific figure (just type in the name) or you can use it to search for a specific sort of accessory (such as a mask or skis or a shield). And of course you can play around and mix and match your searches... Oh, and there's a link for the accessory search to give a visual id of what will likely be in each area... I'll tweak page this as more categories are added.
If you can think of something that could use a keyword let me know.
Anyway, you can check out the updates and the new accessory search (http://http://www.thejoeindex.com/joeindex/parts/) at the Index (http://http://www.thejoeindex.com/)

Added the 11/04 update
-
I can sympathize. But your site is much more fun to navigate, and far more useful when it comes to vehicles. Please keep it going.
-
For years, yojoe's vehicle section was a big pile of shit. Using photos of catelogs for vehicles is a joke and not acceptable for a site that claims to be the be all and end all of collector sites. Then there is international section, which looks like a toy section blown up at a Wal-Mart by kids. Then Jon comes along with his site and changes all of a sudden start to happen at yojoe. So I won't suger coat this. Basically, what ever Jon does, yojoe follow suites and copies. So don't give me the politicaly correct BS I read another board that we have the right to update content. You had YEARS to do this. Instead Action Online is only interested in making money. They could give a shit about the collector.
And since I have 4 weeks in vacation coming up. I will be submitting stuff to fill in the gaps that Jon needs. But not right now as I am swamped with work.

2004 Heavy Duty's link is dead.
A few more Facts and Information to consider:
1994 Cobra Commander: You mention "This figure represents the first, and thus far only, time a majority of Cobra Commander's face would be visible on a figure. The 1991 figure has a fully molded face under a visor but the visor was not intended to be removed from the figure while this figure's helmet came packaged loose from the figure." You might want to mention the 12" figure with a similar head, and that the Cobra Commander with removable helmet from 2005 is not intended to be the same character.
1985 Snake Eyes: First Snake Eyes released with Timber.
1992 DEF Headman: Killed in his second animated appearance, making him the only character from the GI Joe toyline to get killed off in animation.
