I wonder how this petition drive is working out? Not really seeing any recent updates, and it sadly seems to have just sorta fallen flat. (Oh, wait ... I guess I just answered my own question, actually.)
At any rate, perhaps it might be best if Yojoe.com eventually ended up in the hands of Hasbro itself. Now, normally, that would be a horrible idea (for multiple reasons). However, after being in contact with Hasbro (concerning an entirely separate issue), it's quite apparent how responsibly they take their role as corporate citizens/guardians of the brand. So it somehow only seems fitting that they would maintain/control their own action figure archive. Possibly to create an interactive online toy museum of some sort. Certainly something worth considering, imo.

Mudwasp`s idea about hasbro taking over isn't bad, but would they only update their current stuff and ignore the club and other 3rd party companies? I guess it could only be better the nothing.

Here's some weirdness. The listing for Snow Serpent v1 has completely disappeared from the 1985 page and the direct link to it (still accessible from v2 and further versions of the character) currently pulls up a blank page.

https://www.yojoe.com/action/85/snowserpent.shtml As I'd mentioned earlier in this thread, this stuff is all archived, so if you wanted to access the 1985 Snow Serpent info and images, you could use this link: https://web.archive.org/web/20201020...wserpent.shtml

I occasionally surf a Joe Facebook group before getting burned out on it.
I’ve seen some people saying that contributors to the Yojoe site have been requesting that their pictures be pulled because the site is going to die, and that various pages like 1986 Beach Head (if I’m remembering correctly) have just disappeared. Personally I have no idea why that would do any good, and I also have no real idea whether the reports are true. I think I saw these claims late in the week, and that it was several figures just gone from the archive. On purpose, or so it was alleged. |

Fortunately, we will still have the Internet Archive of the 1986 Beach Head whenever we want to view it. https://web.archive.org/web/20201127...eachhead.shtml

Ive said this before, but it sounds as though the future is us. This site has a very incomplete archive, I think it's high time we rectified that.
