I am loving this thread! I've been posting photos here for years, but I've hardly ever perused the forums, and now I'm wondering why.

I have no idea how much this thread will inform the piece (I got an extension of my deadline 'cause it's been surprisingly difficult to get a good grasp on the topic), but it's made for fascinating reading.

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughtful replies.

Here's a follow-up question that needs asking:

What is it about G.I. Joe that is so uniquely suited to the craft of dios? You see other properties on occasion, but I doubt it's an exaggeration to suggest that G.I. Joe accounts for 99% of the dios one comes across. Why is that?

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Monte
