I think that defining a "hardcore" fan will always make someone sad. :( If they consider themselves one, then that's all it takes I guess. Cause if you don't define a "hardcore" fan as exactly what they are, they get all up in arms about it.
There's all degrees. I personally consider anyone who army builds armies and builds big-ass displays/bases, or someone who goes to every convention, or customizes GI Joes, or someone who knows every filecard by heart or has read every comic, or anyone who collects every variant of every kind... Guys who collect MOC vintage figures, those who have the entire collection, those who have just the 82-88 lineup... The list goes on. There's all kinds of "hardcore" fans. Do I consider myself harcore? I'm more mid-range, I suppose. I loved Joe as a kid, but got back into it in college. Bought a bunch of vintage Joes, then lost them in a fire. Now, I'm back into the 25th stuff, but don't want anything to do with anything that isn't vintage or non-25th/Modern Joes. If some of the movie stuff fits in with the 25th like the Motor-Viper, I'll get it. I make customs, and custom artwork. But there are others not as involved as me, but some who blow me completely out of the water and make me look like a beginner. The guys behind YoJoe.com, Mark Bellomo, Lars Pearson, those guys are definitely "hardcore" if you dedicate an archive site or a years of your life to write a book about it. I'm thankful for those guys. Even the Tank, making a site to discuss it is hardcore. I don't own a Flagg, or Terrordrome, and unless I win the lottery and have an entire basement to run off to and do my "Joe Thing" (and a forgiving wife, to boot), I never will. Maybe I'm not hardcore. |

I'm so hardcore, I'm going to the nidnight showing of the movie dressed up as Zartan disguised as a civilian.
Seriously, I don't consider myself hardcore or a completist. I don't buy evrything with the G.I. Joe name on it. Yes, I still have some stuff from the 80s, I bought every single 25th style item, but I drew the line with Mighty Puggs, Combat Heroes, new jets @ Target and that gawd awful V vs V DVD Pack. And I know I'm not getting everything in the movie line. |

So many people use the term hardcore fan ,does being hardcore mean you hate adventure heroes and sigma six and crappy paintjobs-repacks, or does hardcore mean you like buying everything because of some obsessive compulsive disorder to collect cardboard or like me where you just want to but whatever you want just because i have never posted like this but i am interested in knowing what people that share my common interest think about this commonly thrown around term .........please respond you can be rude, serious, whatever...... Thank-you 280-customs
