I agree with the bashing, it's just not cool.
I try to encourage or give positive suggestions, thats what most people are looking for. If you don't like it try to tell them a way to fix what doesn't look right by suggesting a paint to use or a different part. I think those that those who tend to just say it sucks do so because they themselves have not tried to do custom work. it's like anything else you have to practice to get good. I am just getting into it and have yet to paint a figure. I plan on doing my practice work on some figures I have multiples of to get a feel for it. The first time I disassembled a figure I butchered the poor guy ( rip torpedo) and the torso was useless. Then I sought out threads that helped with suggestions on how to do it with out hacking into the body. |

Ya know, people forget alot of times why they came here to begin with, or maybe I'm completely wrong. I came here like many many others because I LOVE G.I.Joe. I love how so many of you are passionate to make custom figures of your favorite hero's from the past, customs of your favorite super heroes, customs even of silly Mascots for Fast Food restaurants. I came here because as a child GI Joe was my favorite thing in the whole world, and it takes me back to a time when I think times where easier for ALL OF US (don't know how old some of you are, but I think most of you can feel me). I also get upset when I see some dip post stuff like "Sucks"..."Lame", or tries to brag about how much better then they are at customs then others are. I find it funny, because it's them literally admitting they "play with toys better then you". WHAT!? Have we fallen that far behind that we can judge others for their creativity even in such ways ways as outfitting a 3 3/4 action figure! I remember being a kid, getting a hold of black sharpie and making my own Cobra Night Force, and all my friends loving it! I laugh because I still have those figures and they look terrible! It's not hard to say "good job" for a figure thats come off looking great. It's not hard also to say "good job" for a solid effort some put time and effort into. What if some one makes a red Beach Head, with a bazooka! If I find it kinda cool, I'll say, "nice take". Are we THAT geeky to where we HAVE to say "Beach head can not be green because in the 1986 episode of Arise Serpentor Arise he wore..." WHO CARES. We are having fun. I could care less if you dip a Snake Eyes in white paint and say it's a Storm Shadow variant...I'll call you lazy....but think it's kinda funny. They are toys. They are fun. Let it just be that. I hate when guys think they are so great, if you make figure with a light up action, and they ask how you wired it, and it's not the way THEY did it, they got something to say. Truth be said that when it comes down to it, they are just clever names on a message board, and that is all. As an artist, one of these clever guys smart off to some elses work in front of me about any of your work in person, I would have no trouble saying to them what needed to be said. But until that day happens, you guys, keep up the good work. I love what you do. Don't stop! Or I'll say "That Sucks!" LOL
