The press kits? Nope, not sure why they didn't get sent out.
But I got mine over at The Toyverse.

What's in the press kit? I just know that people at rebelscum are dying to find out why the SW slides weren't released. They think there are some things in the slides that weren't on display, like the Naboo and Bespin battle packs.

I'm interested in the real names of the joes, as you can get a good idea of their background from them.
Is there anywhere with all the file cards typed up? Pictures take a while when you need to know important things, like is Bushido the only Jewish Joe. |

There is a site and I posted the link a couple pages ago. Can't remember it off the top of my head.

I doubt he's the only Jewish Joe. Clutch is probably Jewish, check out Marvel's Special Missions issue #2 for that.

Are we simply saying that Bushido is Jewish based on his file name? So we're asserting that he's genetically Jewish, but it would seem that he would be more of a practitioner of an eastern religion, probably Buddhism. Budo is Budhist... so are most of the ninjas, probably, but I hold that Snake-Eyes was probably raised a Christian, and possibly still see himself that way. Arguably, his relationship to Scarlett may influence him to still list Christian on his dog tags. I'm not trying to get into any kind of religious debate, but merely a matter of interest in the Joes bios, which is filecard related. Also, it's a professional interest for me. I'm an Ordained Methodist Minister. Religion is what I do.

I think we figure Bushido is of a Jewish heritage because his filename if Lloyd Goldfine. Half of the Ninjas Force guys are from New York, and have non-Asian, Italiansounding surnames.
I think Leatherneck may also be Jewish. But it's hard for me to differentiate which German last names are more likely Jewish. Ninja FOrce: Goldfine-Jewish? NY Baducci-Italian NY LaQuale-French? Although he's a 2nd Cousin to Storm Shadow Travalino-Italian NY Palmore(sp?), Joseph NY This is T'gin-Zu I would guess Italian Russo, Michael? CA, still sounds pretty Italian Kamakura and Tigre Claw aren't part of Ninja Force exactly, but I think all the Ninja Force guys are actually named after Hasbro Employees from back in the day.

I find characters like Bushido, Dialtone, the rest of the Ninja Force, Torpedo, Airborne, Gung Ho and so forth, well, I don't know how to say this, but 'novelties', as because Joe's make up reflects Americas, there is a overwhelming amount of people of German, Irish and British decent. |

This might help Some Gamer Dude
Half the Battle: Indexes I like to think that T'jabang and Dojo at lease are Eurasians like me (my Dad's Australian and my Mom's Portuguese-Chinese) In my 'verse their grandfather's served in Korea and married Japanese wives (US servicemen spent alot of R&R in Tokyo). That can explain how T'jabang can be Storm Shadow's cousin with a surname like LaQualle and how Dojo looks decidely japanese in appearance despite having an Italian surname. Whilst we're on the subject, it always struck me as odd when I was a kid that Static Line had an Italian name despite appearing to be African American. Maybe he's mixed race too? |
