Yeah I read it and i'm like "what's it to him"? Why does he care? Trying to hop in the sack with Hasbro maybe? That site has been garbage for years now. No updates and some of the links are dead and like Yeety Pie said, "YOU CAN WIN A PRIZE" or some dumb shit all over it.

he clearly said why he doesn’t like black Major, it’s because he’s afraid it’ll lower the value of his collection

If he is in it for the money he is in the wrong hobby. I saw his comment about prices. I just shake my head. To me, anything that garners interest should be celebrated.

It seemed his concern was more along the lines of people mistaking his work for the genuine article

Lol, well I just looked at the photos earlier and assumed they were hyping his work. After seeing your discussion I went back and read the post.

So dumb. One, if they're serious about preventing black Major figures from flooding the market, they're like 10 years too late. There are already what, hundreds of thousands of those figures in circulation? They often do batches of 5,000, and they've been doing many varieties of them for years.

Second, with a lot of the figures, you can tell the difference, quite easily.

Third, Hasbro hasn't made oring figures in over a decade. Maybe if Hasbro was making them, there wouldn't be a demand for black Major?

I get that some people treat GI Joe like vintage cars or postage stamps. I think it is ridiculous to treat Joes that way, and GI Joe elitists drive me crazy, but they can do what they want. So I get why some people would like to ensure authenticity.

However that was a real dirty move on YoJoe's part. I don't pay much attention to drama like that but from what I read they could have handled it better. But maybe I am reading this whole thing wrong.

I’m pretty sure Hasbro is already aware of him. I’m not sure all the nuance involved, but if they could or cared to, they would have shut him down, methinks.

I would use a share screen to teach (doc camera), but then stop share to see if they have any questions.

Thanks man. That’s pretty much how we’ve been training. A big concern is the going dark thing and if we allow it. We did a comm check this morning with our students and it went okay.
