While ordering Valaverse Sgt.Slaughter for my classified display I started looking at the figures. Steel Brigade looks like a vehicle driver he would work, add to cart. Condor without the vest and helmet could be a nameless background joe, add to cart. The Wasp dude he can be a Sting Viper (snakes have stingers, right? I ain't a zoologist) add to cart. I was happy with my future purchases, then I made a big mistake (dramatic pause) I looked up a YouTube video with Bobby talking about these figures. This guy goes and says we are developing a movie based on Action Force. Thanks Johnny Hollywood now I can't mix them in my Joe display because if your garbage movie comes out I will know that's what they are from. Canceled all but Slaughter. I can't mix lines. Shang Chi I know you ain't Quick kick you are in my ML display. Fortnite guy who looks like Firefly, you ain't him I know you are from a game I have zero interest in. I can't be the only one with this hang up. And for those who can look past these things, what kind of monster are you?

Yeah, I can't mix lines, it bothered me even at play as a child. Not even Lanard, MTF, etc among my Joes.
As an adult, I even make sure the displays for different lines don't connect.

All my stuff is nicely stored away, but when I had a camera and posted on joedios, I usually mixed other lines in with the Joes. I figured if I had them, I might as well use them.

I've got most of my stuff sperate, but as I am running out of room, mixing became inevitable. I will mix what Valaverse stuff I get with my Joes.

It depends on the figure. I am using Marvel Legends Hand ninjas because I don't like the Classified ones. And for my 1/18 collection I mix regularly if the figure fits in. I have some Fortnite Toxic Troopers for Dr. Mindbender, some Indiana Jones Russians for mechanics, and some Lanard troops as background army builders, as well as some Final Faction aliens mixed in.

I mixed them up as a kid. Star Wars, GI Joe, Buck Rogers, Adventure People would mix. It also depended on articulation for some reason. The Joes and Buck Rogers were similar O-ring construction so it was more OK for me to use them together than GI Joe & Star Wars. Star wars and Adventure People were OK to mix since they were 5 point. If they mixed it was because they were at war with each other.
Scale mixing was an absolute no-no - couldn't mix 6", 8" or 12" with 3.75"! Vehicles were anything goes though. For some reason Transformer's and Joe couldn't mix either, even though they were in a shared universe. Must have been the scale thing. Now they are displayed separate, Alas, my O.C.D.! I thought of this the other day because I got the new Ghostbusters 1:18 ECTO-1. I was trying to think what Joes would work best to be Ghostbusters. Last edited by gijim; 03-09-2021 at 06:51 PM.. |

I love the new Halo Infinite Warthog. The figures are the same size as Joes.
I've put Duke on the rear gun, Thunder driving and Grunt in the passenger seat.

I was contemplating this today, I ordered the 80th anniversary Marvel Legends Punisher and was thinking how great he would be in the Joeverse.

For me, it really depends.
For my little universe, I prefer characters that are more blanks slate and fit together aesthetically. So while a cobra trooper makes a perfectly good soldier of fortune, Destro is too iconic. Snake Eyes blends in with other ninjas fairly easily, and if you put classified Storm Shadow next to Endgame Ronin they look like they shop at the same stores. But some marvel legends have that "just rolled put of bed and put my spandex on" look that makes them look off when paired with other figures with more detail- and it doesn't even have to be from different lines. So for me- it really depends. Does the figure scream "I am this characterization only" so loudly that it strains my suspension of disbelief? And my suspension of disbelief is pretty elastic- I use weird things from toy lines to portray Ashuras, Yokai, Oni, and other mythological subjects in a very Urban Arcana setting. |

ARAH is the only one I don’t mix into. That’s my pride and joy.
But the rest? Absolutely. No figure is safe . All are fodder!
