What’s on Joe Mind Episode 91 is online!

Yes, the What’s on Joe Mind crew went radio silent for a little while, but now we’ve come roaring back, even if we are missing our trusty producer Gary.

While Gary continues to take a little bit of a break, we spent this issue talking customs with the awesome folks from the JoeCustoms Podcast.  The episode ends up being a very informal kind of “chew the G.I. Joe fat” round table, where we ask some customizing questions, they ask us some questions, and we just hash it all out.  We did take some time for news and mailbag questions, though!

Check out the latest episode on Podbean, or also embedded below.  Show Notes are, as always, after the jump.

JoeCustoms “Custom Celebration VII” takes customs to a whole new level!

Are you a fan of G.I. Joe custom figures?  Do you like making customs or just looking at them?  Regardless of your thoughts on the customizing community and the wonderful product they turn out on a regular basis, you need to hit up JoeCustoms.com and check out their seventh annual Custom Celebration!

Customizer interviews, custom showcases, and nominations for the JCA awards are all hitting the site throughout this week.

Don’t feel left out, go hit up JoeCustoms.com to join in the Custom Celebration!

JoeCustoms.com is ten years old today!

And they’re throwing a party!

JoeCustoms initially entered the online G.I. Joe community as the Bivouac over 10 years ago, but the official movement to “JoeCustoms.com” was 10 years ago and they’ve never looked back.  P-Luv has started a thread over on JoeCustoms to discuss its awesome 10 year history, and probably the coolest part of this whole celebration is a conversation with camper and Beav, two past admins for the site.  Camper was the guy who started the whole thing way back when, and Beav was running the show himself for many years until P-Luv recently took over.

Without a doubt the site that spearheaded the G.I. Joe customizing community this is an awesome look at the past 10 years, plus there are some chances to win some good prizes as well.
