If I haven't said it enough, which I feel like I have not, a HUGE thank you to the collaborators for Resurgence: GITrekker, for nailing the 80's vibe with his filecards. Very professional, and a pleasure to work with. J_Man, for coming up with the Mail Away catalog, which screamed vintage when you see it! Matthew (Mayor) Ditto, the catalog here reminded me of opening up a vehicle, and the first thing out of the box as a child was the catalog, not the figure or vehicle itself. Awesome work. Sam Panico, who liked what he saw on Generalsjoes.com, and got in contact with us asking if he could do some mock package work. I said sure, show me what you are thinking of! Blown Away. I hope he joins the forums at some point. Justin (Generalsjoes.com), who took the time to write out some awesome filecards (my favorite was Glitch) in the middle of putting the final touches on his massive dio story. Patrick Stewart, who talked with me very early on in the project about what made each Joe and Cobra stand out in the year they were released, and gave very sound advice on colors. GI Joe is colorful, and imaginative. That's what got our attention as kids, and as much awesome as the uber realistic Joe customs look, they are not going to capture the spirit of the Arah era. Kirk Bozigian (I can't believe he even responded to me when Icontacted him, even if it was a brief insight of history, he actually talked to me! Nerdgasm.)
And of course, Oreobuilder and Dusty79! For answering back about 1000 emails back and forth since Laste December. Great guys to work with. Looking forward to doing more fun stuff in the future.
and a great big man hug to all the members who followed along and gave us critiques!! Critiques are essential to getting better at the hobby, and constructive ones are always most welcome! I've said it to others before in person, but Joecustoms is my online home(page), and it was a pleasure to do this project and help promote our hobby.
oh, and go RED LASERS!
