We've never really hear him talk. Leave it to Larry to make me whip out the Dictionary.
"The presence of strongly emphasized s, sh, ch, z, j sounds in speech called sibilants. These CONSONANTs are created by air moving through the vocal tract and being constricted by the position of the tongue and lips. " Sounds like he was suppose to talk the way Cobra Commander talks in the cartoons. |

So I've decided to go through YoeJo and read ALL the filecards, so i can get a better working knowledge of Joe.
Anything I should pay particular attention to besides the first couple years and anything I should maybe stay away from?

Now how does that kind of injury happen in a strafing run? Talk about pretty damn lucky.

The Valor vs Venom and Spytroops cards aren't all that informative, from a military standpoint. They are pretty good for personality. Those are the ones Hama didn't write.

and i seriously wrote yoejo? damn i must be getting tired. In filecard news I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but Thunder's secondary specialty is a military drummer. He needs to get together with shockwave.

That's pretty funny. Isn't Crazylegs a pianist? The Joes could get a pretty good classical band going.

So wow, I log off last night and miss all sorts of stuff. This would be pretty cool if Hama agrees to answer some questions. I think we should brainstorm as many topics/questions as we can and then choose the best five and then rewrite them to make sure we don't ask any yes/no, obvious or redundant questions. The questions should be phrased in a way that require full explanations.
Here are the biggest points of interest on my mind: 1. Joe qualifications/training - Which Joes (ie, the not so obvious ones) were intended to have Ranger/Green Beret/Marine Recon training? 2. Joe organization/command structure - How did Hama envision the Joe's formation, organization and chain of command? Was it intended to function as a Group-size unit like Special Forces with Colonel Hawk as the CO? Or did he envision a much smaller, SFOD-D type unit with support from the regular Army? Are or were all the Joes supposed to have SOF backgrounds? 3. What should have been published in the file cards versus what actually appeared - In other words, were there any requested changes that brought about particular inaccuracies in the final drafts (eg. "Was Flint supposed to be an E6 or WO2?" "Was Stalker originally conceived as a Green Beret?" "Should Altitude be Sgt Major of the Army?") or were these simple editing/artisitic mistakes. 4. Disparity and disproportion in ranks - How come there are so many NCOs compared to E4s? Why weren't there more company-grade officers, or Marine officers for that matter, created to fill gaps as the Joe line continued? Last edited by Tanksmasher; 03-05-2009 at 11:26 AM.. |

Also, we should probably check Mark Bellomo's book to make sure there isn't any info on the file cards in there that already answers some of our questions. No sense asking what we should already know.

So I'm thinking of making the Movie Duke (the non-accelerator suit one) into the Joe's Combat Controller, Airstrike. Was going to kitbash one, but why bother when there's a good looking figure (with different head sculpt), on it's way.
Heavy Duty (non-accelerator suit) will be Heavy Duty. Need to scout Maruader's to see what kind of weapons system can get him. Scarlett, Cover Girl I'm not sure what to do with. I really like the Zartan, it's what a master of disguise should look like. He was always too "out there" for me to take seriously. This one is plain, which is what it should be. So how are you guys going to use the Movie Figures?
