Casual Fig Friday: Anyone want to play along?

[Nekoman]

Something I just thought up. Maybe on Fridays we could post our photos of non-GI Joe action figures, we could even have themes like we do on the weekends, like robots, or 1:18 scale, space, junk like that. We'd keep it strictly to Friday so we don't get too many "off topic" shots.

Would anyone be up for it?

I'm down with this. I know I collect alot of other lines than just Joes, and with the current...ummm...drought...I'm experiencing in the Joe collecting dept, I would like to show off the non-Joe stuff I've bought.

Must agree, hopefully I'll have my new camera by this Friday

Amen. I'd like to see what you have.

I really miss the Weekend Warriors and the crossovers we would have.

I'm in. Let me know the theme...

I probably wouldn't mind this, specifically because it would keep the off-topic posts away from the other days. I don't particularly like coming here on an average day and finding heaps of Spiderman, Iron Man, Star Wars... pictures on the front page, with one or two GIJoe pictures hidden between them. So yeah.

Great idea, Nekoman. My SW figs are getting dusty. what days tend to have the fewest uploads? If there is a measurable trend like that, that day would be perfect.

There is The Outrider Challenge every weekend.

I might be up for this as well. I've only got a small handfull of figures that aren't Joes, but I'd contribute what I could.
And like BATman said, I'd rather come to the site and see more Joe pics and less with the non-Joes, or at least non-military themed.

I'm indifferent. Is it annoying that one can go to the site and see nothing but non-Joe stuff for an entire day (possibly week)? Sure. But it also offsets some people's need to try somethign different every now and again. I rather see it spaced out and not concentrated all at once and just be aware that random full . Creativity is creativity. It comes in bunches or all at once or constantly at 3PM on tuesdays depending on who you are.

This comes from some one who has 4-5x as many Star Wars figures as Joes (but about 2X more Joe Vehicles). Most of my Star Wars stuff (when out) is displayed in a specific built displays that are difficult to photograph and time consuming to set up. I have no motivation to take them down (except to perseve them from being eaten by the baby).

We already have Weekend Warriors (essentially a themed look) on 2 days a week, Whacky Wednesdays (frank or humours shots), Target Range (albiet 1 person) on Thursdays. That's 4 days already taken by something set in electrons since this is the internet. Put in a Friday off topic and you see, 5 days that are "special" a week, making it not so special. Yes, you're always free to post up a great joe shot or dio whenever on any day in the 3 pic limit, but really, are Monday and Tuesday going to be known as "Joe only works 2 days a week"?

I voted no. I think what makes this place great is that it's a GI Joe site.
