Did I mention movies have a huge impact on my dio stuff? I wasn't very specific before because it is all dependent on what mood I'm in. It also kinda depends on which GI Joe series I'm dealing with.
If I'm dealing with Sigma6, the gnarly articulation is great. So the SW prequels are great for fighting storyboards and whatnot. Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon too. I honestly can see Kamakura and Storm Shadow flying through the air, tiptooing on the top of trees and going Matrix-style in our bamboo in the backyard. Heavy Duty, of course, doesn't fly. lol.
I don't deal with ARAH. But for the 2002+ themed Joes, stuff like Aliens, Fast And the Furious, Soldier, Last Samurai, Lord of the Rings... Just tons of stuff that I pull from. And I ALWAYS have music going when I do a dio which might not actually help much.
Still, it really is someone like Fred (LeoTDragon), Luke, Outrider, etc that open my eyes to what we can really do. I'm still learning, just like everyone else. I'm putting more effort into "A Matter of Anti-Matter" moreso than any other dio. I haven't posted it here yet because I'm only in Chapter4 (short chapters) and have a bit of a ways to go.
Go ahead and take a look now. Navigation is in the upper right hand corner.
