If I'm not mistaken, the last o-ring reveals were from last YoJoe! June with the Transformers

I believe so. There was supposed to be a Joe Live Stream earlier this year in February but it was pushed to March. There was no mention of o-ring during that live stream so I just stopped waiting around and moved on.

Ok that's what I thought, there was lots of hype for the 3/8 stream which tunred out nothing then over the next few weeks we started to find out some of the reasons through Youtube interviews

I can't remember his name. He was on joecustoms.

Joecustoms...is that still around?

I laughed back in 25th era when folks were dumping vintage ARAH and new sculpts for the new thing. You could get stuff sooo cheap from ebay.

Also they ripped the rhino and gave it unaltered to the 2" line so there was reason for some people to want to modify that hawk shaped stupid thing.

It was the ROCC. The Rhino was on the cartoon but I guess not re-released for the 2.5" line. (I can't find it online if it was). It was recolored for Rise of Cobra.

Yeah, no joke on the prices hitting the floor back then. I was loving it. Worst decision I could have made was dumping all of that cheaply-acquired ARAH stuff right before covid, only to jump right back in right as the lockdowns were hitting. The initial prices were well below even the 25th days, but once those stimulus checks dropped... fuck's sake. And prices have done nothing but climb ever since.

His name has slipped my mind, too, but he did a great job with those S6 customs!

Joecustoms was great, lots of goofing off and people having fun with their toys.

I was never a customizer but I hung out there because the place had a good vibe.

It was never the same after they upgraded the board and switched admins.

I think it still exists but have no idea if it's really alive.

[THEDARKONE508]

it's roughly the same people that were posting there back then posting now. when marauder and modern customs took over, i stopped visiting. and then i started lurking again recently to boost the o-ring kickstarters and it's still the same content from exactly the same people.

if anything it's a time capsule for 2007.

the other dude is right about the rhino, i kept thinking the bluish one was a sigma6 release. i was digging around on yojoe.com this morning trying to find the little jeep vehicle i was thinking about but that section is a disaster, with the added benefit of thing i dont particular care to put too much energy into looking into. i'd feel the same about a modern sculpt non o-ring gijoe figure thing, so it's not just that it's sigma6.

If I'm not mistaken I did see the ROCC in-person on shelves during the S6 years but I don't think I saw the ROC RHINO, seems like I remember it was HTF cause people who discovered it but didn't get it during DTC jumped on it
