Web Spotlight: The Definitive Figure Project

by Paul

gijoelogoregular.jpg

For this edition of web spotlight, the extremely infrequent look at toy websites on the internets, I’d like to point out a particularly interesting site that caught my attention the other day. The site is The Definitive Figure Project and the idea behind it is very simple. They take G.I. Joe figures and try to determine which figure out of all the variations made is the best to represent the essence of the character. I think this is a pretty good idea and would even better if it was expanded to the toy universe as a whole.

If you’re a G.I. Joe fan I’d recommend checking it out. So far they’ve done ten figures and it will take you less time to go there and look at them all than it did to read this post.
