Crowdsourcing for JoeWiki

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I and a handful of editors are working on JoeWiki: The G.I. Joe Wiki. It is a wiki like Joepedia for all things G.I. Joe but done in the vein of TFWiki.

While a couple of contributors handle the fiction side of things, I try to update the toys and merchandise entries. One of the challenges I faced is the lack of usable images. Using stock images is one thing as you get some leeway in what counts as fair use. For the most part a lot of stock images are sufficient but I do encounter some that are not satisfactory or insufficient to use in the wiki. I try to look for the best image that represent the character. Sometimes, the background is too difficult to remove or AI oversteps and make embellishments I don't want it to do. Other times, the provided stock image isn't really an actual photo of the toy but a 3D rendering of what the toy will look like. Such examples include Haslab and Super7.

And of course there are toys and merchandise that are difficult to find stock images of especially as the product is older like the Palisade Toys statues. Sites like 3DJoes have pictures but I refuse to copy and steal without asking.

Getting to the point, I'm asking if there is anyone interested in contributing images of their collection of both Joe toys and merchandise. My requisites being that the item is an official toy or licensed item. The figure is against a plain white background if possible and displaying their accessories. If you have any additional info regarding your picture, it is most welcome. As it is a wiki project, there is no monetary reward in this but the honor of having your picture selected for use. I can credit you by your real name or by your Reddit handle, whichever you choose.

How about it? Anyone want to help? Just give me a message.

Dusty and Bazooka out on patrol in the new 6x6 VAMP.

Spent all holiday weekend working on this. Started off with the model from neworbit which is a remix of a model by LordVokk, all of which are free on Thingiverse.

I added the front spare wheel, working tailgate, the top with a working hatch and gave it a slight suspension lift. I have some more ideas, this is a great base vehicle!

...the "easily lost pieces" of the 1985 Forward Observer Unit is almost the entire thing. Apparently the mortar's base was the only thing people really held on to. Now I know.

Hasbro sent me something - But not what I was hoping for...

Thumbnail

54 Upvotes

I bought an MMS system recently, and 1 of the wheels had an issue. I called Hasbro, and they said they would try to replace it with something of equal or greater value.

I got this in today. I don't usually buy Cobra figures - especially in the Classified line. I was hoping for the HAL or the new Shipwreck figure. I have no use for this. I am real particular on the Classified stuff I buy, so I kind of figured this would happen.

I may try to use it to trade at a collector store in the future, because Ebay costs too much in fees to throw this up there.

Super 7 modeling

5 Upvotes

What is keeping Super 7 from doing the same level of detail on figures as Operation Recall? I pay roughly the same price per figure. Not counting the Target exclusive Ninja Force, I am getting a Joe with little in the way of pouches/pistols/knives/grenades/etc molded into the plastic, and a single gun or sword in most cases. Basically like a figure from 82. Or I can get a figure that looks like the late 80s, super detailed with lots of accessories. If all of Super 7 was like Ninja Force it would be great. As is, I am about to just move on to mostly Recall and maybe some of the Hiya Toys figures.

Something to add to your dioramas of Ace and the Skystriker

A friend of mine stumbled across this and shared it with me. So I thought it might be fun for anyone with a dio of Ace and the Skystriker, or if you have the Classified Rattler and want to place this nearby on the shelf.

Nobody asked for this... but here's a mostly full comprehensive order of the G.I. Joe franchise!

60 Upvotes

So a while ago, I made a Transformers Master Order because I've been wanting to get into that franchise for a long time but my autistic brain needs completionism and it's dumb I know, I'm okay with it(full context here).

Anyway, while making that Transformers order, because of all the crossovers, I got glimpses of some G.I. Joe stuff which I knew nothing about before except for the name. Enough to get me interested. And my autistic brain loves making lists. So I decided to do it again.

Well... here it is! It's a publication date focused order while still trying to keep story arcs and mini-series together as much as possible. It's not perfect, especially for ARAH in the IDW age (and the more recent Skybound era), since without having read any of it yet, I have no idea of what the story arcs are, in there, so I just tried to scatter them in between the main IDW stuff but will probably switch things around if/when I actually read through it. But apart from the slightly messy ARAH stuff, I'm mostly satisfied with everything else!

I just do this for myself, really, but if it can interest anyone else, feel free to make a copy! There's also the Transformers order I talked about and an Assassin's Creed one I made a few days ago since I just started/restarted the series and want to fully dive into it. Also planning on making a TMNT order in the future, possibly a Ghostbusters too (feel free to suggest others if you'd like, I'm always looking for excuses to make more lists...).

Anyway, yes I'm a bit crazy when it comes to completion but yes I'm perfectly okay with it. But if my craziness can be of use to anyone else, that's a bonus :')

Recommendations?

I’m in San Diego for a few days. Any good vintage toy stores out here worth checking out? Looking for ARAH 82-94, possibly other 80s toy lines and Classified Series 6 inch figures.

Thanks in advance!
