I don't really care what people think. I don't necessarily broadcast that I collect and customize GI Joes, but if someone asks, I'll tell them, unashamedly. I think a lot of you guys nailed it when you said that mainstream society doesn't see it as cool, while they see guys who go to football games shirtless in 20 degree weather with their faces painted as cool. Well, I don't live in mainstream society. I live at my house with my family with my job and the pressures and stresses that customizing GI Joes help me relieve.
BTW, I guess I don't know what "Fanboi" is or references. Could someone enlighten me?

I don't think mainstream sees those people that go shirtless w/ painted chests in 20 deg weather as cool either. They're on the extreme and become fanatics.
The way I see fanboi (with the i and not the y) is that they're extreme fans of something. They're the ones that give the overall fans a bad name (i.e. the shirtless/painted in 20 deg weather guys). A Joe fanboi, one that refuses to accept anything else but what they want Joe to be. "The Para-Viper never appeared in the cartoon, therefore it's a waste of peg space. I dont' care if it's a cool figure, it sucks, it's horrible".
