Hi everyone. I and a handful of editors are working on JoeWiki: The G.I. Joe Wiki. It is a wiki like Joepedia for all things G.I. Joe but done in the vein of TFWiki.
While a couple of contributors handle the fiction side of things, I try to update the toys and merchandise entries. One of the challenges I faced is the lack of usable images. Using stock images is one thing as you get some leeway in what counts as fair use. For the most part a lot of stock images are sufficient but I do encounter some that are not satisfactory or insufficient to use in the wiki. I try to look for the best image that represent the character. Sometimes, the background is too difficult to remove or AI oversteps and make embellishments I don't want it to do. Other times, the provided stock image isn't really an actual photo of the toy but a 3D rendering of what the toy will look like. Such examples include Haslab and Super7.
And of course there are toys and merchandise that are difficult to find stock images of especially as the product is older like the Palisade Toys statues. Sites like 3DJoes have pictures but I refuse to copy and steal without asking.
Getting to the point, I'm asking if there is anyone interested in contributing images of their collection of both Joe toys and merchandise. My requisites being that the item is an official toy or licensed item. The figure is against a plain white background if possible and displaying their accessories. If you have any additional info regarding your picture, it is most welcome. As it is a wiki project, there is no monetary reward in this but the honor of having your picture selected for use. I can credit you by your real name or by your Reddit handle, whichever you choose.
How about it? Anyone want to help? Just give me a message.

I could not add photos to the other thread. Here are the out of box photos. The little box that comes with the SNAKE Armor is strange. No idea what it is. The rock texture on the back is also strange.
Baroness and Flint. No notes. They are awesome.

Cleaning out the attic and ran across my old Joe base. Had to see if I could still assemble it and things got out of hand. My wife thinks I am a big kid. I sorta am. Had to repost. I forgot to add pics the first time🫢

The action figures are from my youth. Favorite is Storm shadow. I am missing his katana.

I've been enjoying Joshua Williamson's G.I. Joe series so far, but while fans are wondering if Snake Eyes will pop up, I've been wondering: Should Serpentor appear in the series?
Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with Snake Eyes popping up, but after loving Joshua's take on Mercer, a character I never cared much for, I'd love to see him take a swing at Serpentor.
I know Serpentor is polarizing in the fandom, but as shown in IDW's G.I. Joe: Cobra, he can be written well.
What do you guys think?

Does anyone have any suggestions for taking out rusted screws to change the O-Rings? I've tried WD-40, multiple-sized Phillips screwdrivers, you need such a small one that I can barely even grip it. I'm afraid to apply too much force as I don't want to break my figures. Any help is appreciated thank you.

With how good they handle Transformers I would love to see Blokees tackle GI Joe next especially now that Hasbro is charging $30 for standard Classified figure, the recent reveal of Champion Class Starscream based on Energon Universe which includes Hiss Tank is hopefully a sign of it.

I know a lot of people really like Hawk in this role, but I honestly feel like I prefer Duke. Hawk just really has that presence to him that makes him feel right at home in the up top position, while Duke forever has that feeling of a boots on the ground Grunt. I think they are both great Field Leaders, but I think I prefer Hawk as the big overseer, while I think I'd always want to see Duke in an on the field position. Very interested to hear other thoughts!
Edit : I'm specifically talking about the Marvel Comics ARAH continuity more than anything else. Though I am not opposed to hearing thoughts based on other continuities.
