Another thing I thought of, when I do the sign up thread. There'll be a couple requirements. One being you have send a detailed parts list of your customs and what you did to it(i.e. paint, mods, hours spent on it, etc).. also, remember I'm going to review these. So if you make some quick custom, it'll show in the review, and if I was sending a custom to someone for them to pick apart and review, something that had my name attached to it, I sure as hell wouldn't send something I spent five mins on.. I'm hoping more would be the same.

Joerhyno-
I like what you're getting at- I also understand some of the concerns out there. Why not do something like the following? 1. Maybe have a standard parts list? Say, for example, you have to use Flint Legs, Trakker Torso, etc etc and let people come up with what they think? 2. Perhaps do a parts grab bag where everyone who joins contributes a bag of parts. You would mix them up, send them to the customizers, and then review what everyone created? 3. Perhaps just do the review and then return them to the creator? Any way you slice it, dice it, or chop it up- I'm in! |

This sounds like a cool idea, since it could lead to some unexpected designs. There would be more expense -- more shipping -- but if each person involved shipped in parts which were then randomized and sent back out . . . well, who knows what would happen.

Another idea: Start small. 20's a large number to review and requires a lot of commitment from 20 people. If you limited this to 6 or 8 I think there would be a higher chance of success.

Don't forget transformers. You can give me Ice and I will make you a transformer custom. Everybody wins

K, I guess I'll do it. Are non-Hasbro ME Joe parts viable? Original characters?

I don't think it would be as much fun if people couldn't use/create anything they want to.

I would probably do it. Let me know when it gets started.

Do it that way and you can cut out at least 1 trip. We'd still ship to him for a review, and he'd ship out to the original contributor- meaning I would get the parts back that I sent in, only now someone else customized them. I think so too! |
