Hey guys,
This question has lingering with me for a long time... Do you consider or include the more recent characters from the ROC, POC, and Retaliation lines (ie. Helix, Ashiko, Shadow Tracker, Mouse, etc..) and even further in the past (Blackout, Barrell Roll, Bombstrike, etc.) part of the full roster or do they exist in another realm of your mythos? And if they are part of the full roster, how much weight do they have? I do for most, but I have some exceptions. Mouse would be a start. Helix is questionable. I know she's been given the spotlight in comics, but haven't read them except for role with Snake Eyes and the Mass Device story released almost 2 years ago. Without more character depth it's harder for me to pair some of them up with imagined classic Marvel/Sunbow backdrops. |

I try to stick with the Movie Universe or things tied to it with homage to IDW, cartoons,etc. I try to get my main guys from real actor scans and build the character based on that...as seen here:
As far as people like Helix...eh, still kinda up in the air about those characters but as I build my Joeverse I'll probably need to expand my boundries a little. |

They're all Joes & Cobras so they all get displayed together. Though most Movie figures are displayed in their own tiny area, away from my 25th, POC, & 30th display.

I'm a crotchety old man... not interested in the new characters so much... no nostalgia.

I include characters as I like and need them. For instance, I'm not quite sure what to do with Helix right now. Mouse is a guy where I just don't like the figure much...
I'm actually looking forward to new characters. I am in dire need of pilots right now..

i only collect ARAH.
in my fan-fic, though, I'm doing a new one which uses Hollow-point as well as ARAH era characters. but it's a new universe. my longest running fic series, I recently decided to add Depthc-charge, Hollow-point and some of the others as Joes who've joined up in 1995 after the unit is reactivated. |

Of course. A Joe is a Joe regardless of when/what line (s)he came out in.
