That sucks, I'm looking forward (was) to Valkyrie, Emma Frost, and Executioner. The Colossus/Juggernaught was meh, I knew that was coming with the grumblings. I noticed today Dorkside had only the Xmen 3 pAck for preorder, which now ain't happening. Wonder how they will get released.

I kinda miss toybiz. At least they would give us a figure of almost everyone while still managing to give us plenty of different Spider-Man and wolverine figures to choose from.

I'm intrigued by the 4" Robocop figures. They look good. They have 9 points of articulation, which probably means knee, hip, elbow, shoulder, and head.

They're made by Jada Toys. It seems to be their first real foray into the action figure world.

I was looking into a Kotobukyia Robocop but never pulled the trigger. These could fill in the need, and they might have more articulation and removable gun. Kotobukyia version has the gun molded to the hand.

Hey guys, trying to spread the word about the Battle Force New England group and our first contest. BFNE is the New England G.I. Joe Collector's Group, we want to be for NE what the Coil Club is for the Midwest). You don't need to be from New England to be a member.

BFNE Contest #1: Action Joes (okay, dumb name, I know)

The contest is open to all members of BFNE (either members of the Facebook group or the coming-soon blog, which will hopefully be up the end of this week, in the meantime e-mail [email protected] if not already a member).

Get out the cameras, your favorite vehicles and diorama accessories, because it's time to take some pictures. Not all of us can write, not all of us can make customs, not all of us can draw, but we can all take pictures. But not all of us have high end cameras, you say, well we have a solution for that too.

There will be two categories. Each member can only enter one of the categories and must tell me which one when you e-mail your submission to [email protected].

Category 1: Picture Quality

Submissions will consist of one picture. This category will be judged on the quality of the photograph itself, as well as the contents. Good use of lighting? Does the pose look awkward or natural (as natural as a toy can look)? Good use of the surroundings?

Category 2: Dio Story

Submissions will consist of a series of 3-5 pictures that tell a story. This category will be judged on how well the pictures (and the actions depicted) convey the story. Is there good posing of the figures? Does the sequence make sense? Good use of the environment? Is the overall story interesting?

Now the rules:
1- Contest is open to O-Ring or ME figures
2- Pictures must be taking outside utilizing the natural environment and whatever accessories/playsets want
3- Must contain at least 1 vehicle
4- Must have Joes and Cobras.
5- Must contain at least 1 Joe from New England (birthplaces can be found here: List of G.I. Joe character birthplaces - G.I. Joe Wiki - Joepedia - GI Joe, Cobra, toys)
6- Can include custom figures but must be 75% production figures (Example: 8 figures used, 6 must be production). Custom figure can be the New England Joe but that figure must be submitted to the judging committee for ruling on if the custom is easily identifable as an NE Joe (for example, you can call a custom your version of Sub-Zero, but unless others can tell it's meant to be Sub-Zero, it won't count). Customs do not need to be made by you.
7- Must be a BFNE member (see above)

Contest deadline is December 15, 2013. Can submit an entry anytime between now and December 9, 2013. End date is subject to change and weather. There's a lot of arctic NE Joes so would like there to be snow on the ground for those interested in that.

Prizes: To Be Determined. Each category will have a winner and a runner-up.

Judges: Troy and TBD (looking for volunteers)

Feel free to ask any questions. If interested in donating prizes, please let me know.
