Sweet. They ever tell you what the problem was?

I've got a bunch of International stuff to get up next update.

Other than cutting open one of the Pimp SDCC Destros I STILL haven't opened any of the 25th figures... and I have damn near all of them so far. I just can't bring myself to open them... I just have no feelings about them that aren't almost complete ambivalence.

Newest update posted... let me know if you come across anything I need to fix.

December updates posted.

Same here... Once you get the wants, you kind of sit around then go, "Ok, now what?" Then you start to see "what else is out there" and you see a couple of things that look interesting, and then a few less so, but they still catch your eye. Then you decide to buy one or two, not to start a new year to complete, just because they look interesting... then... well, skies the limit so to speak.

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.

1985 Keel Haul - updated images
1993 Keel Haul - 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
1989 Slaughter's Marauders Barbecue
1993 Star Brigade Heavy Duty
1993 Snow Storm
1993 Frostbite
2003 Pit Viper

Updated Figures:
1991 Sonic Fighter Psyche-Out - filecard added
1993 Star Brigade Robo-Joe - filecard added
1990 Cold Front - updated images
1990 Major Storm - updated images
1994 Star Brigade Duke - filecard added
1991 Eco-Warrirors Clean-Sweep - filecard added
2007 Convention Lt. Clay Moore - 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 at the Index
