I see Cobra as a cell-type structure. No one knows the names or identities of others in the cell, hence the masks. With the dispersion of cells, there's a bit of variation between baseline uniforms, hence all the different blue shirt and basic viper looks. For specific jobs, cells receive some specialised training and equipment, hence the specialised Viper outfits. For basic combat tasks, cells mix and match weapons (a sniper, an RPG gunner, a SAW Viper and a rifleman). In short, the basic guys with all the different looks are just different cells in different cities.
I see an integration problem with the many different Joe lines. Some look great together - others...not so much. Some lines fit well together while others have to be set apart. Some lines have that hyper-realistic look while others have cartoon colors and sculpting. The Movie line fits together pretty well on its own. The M.A.R.S. troopers fit well alongside the Neo-Vipers (which a huge number of variants on their own) - but they don't mesh well with other lines...even Retaliation (which has elements that mesh well with other lines abd elements that don't go well with anything else). |

Deep sigh, and shake my head. I don't troll web-sites, I visit sites that I enjoy; where there are usually intelligent posts. It "did" happen, but unfortunately I don't have any saved pictures( I looked ). I don't set up Dios for others entertainment, I do it because it is fun for my son and I; and occasionally I send pictures from my phone to friends. We took down that dio which was cool and replaced it with one that is far better. We made a Cobra castle/base which we still have displayed. I don't post pictures on line much anymore( other than E-Bay ). I am not a fan of Social Media and comments like yours Nictus is why. To call someone a liar you don't even know is pretty freaking rude. However if you would like pictures of my "current" Cobra diorama just let me know. I would be happy to post them just to prove you wrong.
I too have set up dio's, scenes, both large and small, and never took pics, or posted them either. In fact, its probably safe to say that many people do that. Just because you and I didn't do the EXACT, OCD, anal, "scenario", that Nictus sets up in HIS head, doesn't mean it wasn't done. Don't let an IDIOT like that get to you bro, I for one ENJOYED hearing about what you put, and why, in your dio. |

Dude, don't even sweat what Nictus said. He has NO reason to think you were lying, or trolling. Why he would come up with that assumption, based on NOTHING, makes him rather ignorant.

I only threw that out there in jest just because I would love to see it. To me this place is a brotherhood we all share. Honestly my fairly large collection sits in boxes I am too afraid to look through. One because it's too much and because I have nowhere to display anything and two because I think I have snakes in that room.

Ha! Like JA (Joes Anonymous)
Hi my name is Loose and I am a Joecoholic. It's been 15 days since my last purchase but my Pythona just showed up on Monday does that count? (I am not making fun of anyone in AA or NA,just myself. I am sure Joe collecting is a good hobby to get into as an alternative to a lot of shitty things I could be doing.)

I have gone with this since I was a kid...
Blues are your basic grunts - and go-fers ...they do all the basic functions to make a place work..a joe smoe with a security license can be a blue. if you have the outfit design your a blue- grey =drivers, Black= crappy overnight guard duty..etc the ranking of a blue depends on the color web gear..black your a noob...yellow..more training...you get the idea. Viper : Now when I was a kid originally Vipers were the bad ass marines of Cobra ..you sent them in when you needed things done. but the cartoon changed them to act like basic blues. for me former military training is needed to be a Viper. Vipers break off into different branches depending on your forte. * This includes the situational branches like alley, shock etc EELS and Snow Serpents ,Range etc those guys have special forces training.. Then you have the guys who got there history jacked.. The Crimson Guard : Spies, Political assassins , business men..the masons of Cobra...

I didn't think my quote-in-jest would be received in the manner you did...my intent was to make light of your statement of having physically made a dio that depicted your inquiry in the first place. I make snarky remarks all the time, but apparently this time the tone was lost in the words...my fault As to the photos - share'em or not; your call. |
