Joe Declassified

On a non-Joe related note, our community lost 22 of the very best men within the last 48 hours. I only hope that their families and loved ones are able carry on.

R.I.P. gents.

Hooyah.

The forums are off line for some database maintenance.  Thanks for your patience.

Raptor over at Joe Customs spotted these images on the blog of Dynamo Development Labs. For those unaware, the folks there were responsible for the Xevox toy line designs, as well as some work on Sigma 6.

More of their concept illustrations (as well as some other toy lines) can be seen here.

I just wanted to post a personal thank you to those who have sent in donation money. When I first put up the tab, I wasn’t expecting nearly such a supportive response. Thanks you.
