Upcoming plans

Excellent work !!!!
I too need to either get a digital or get my buddy to take some pics so I can get some customs up on here !!
BLOOD FOR THE BARON !!!!

[The Baron]

Ah I'm glad everyone likes it, I'm really, really happy with it!

[Quickfire]

Hmm, interesting developments, anything else we need to know about in the hard-drive of your cryptic megalomaniac mind Eisenblut?

[The Baron]

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. And then I'd tell you again.

Just changed the Download word balloon icons for more traditional images, and added word balloon links from the B&W galleries to their coloured equivalents.

OK, the BAF Comics archive has been completely replaced *, and I've just spent a few hours redoing the headers pages for each topic, throwing in some cool new links as the right edge was looking sparse and annoying me.

Upcoming plans are to enlarge the thumbs in the Toy and Mutour archives ** and address the issue of why the fonts vary and red borders disappear when browsing the site with IE and AOL. I use Firefox, and it all looks great but it's misbehaving for the others and I don't know why...

The 2 downloadable editions of the Colouring Project books have also been replaced with the smart now doctored colour pages - these are the versions what will be going to print shortly for the revised editions. Oh, and I nicked us some more sprites too.

Other upcoming plans are to update the Mutour and Customs galleries, and look at creating some advertising on the site, with over 2000 individual hit points per month I've decided to make the most of it.

Despite my best efforts to control it, BFTB continues to mutate beyond my wildest dreams. Heaven help us all if it ever escapes!

* barring the BAF Covers download as is it's giganimous and takes hours to upload.
** actually shedloads of work when it really needn't be, dammit!

I've just changed the site homepage for a festive Baron. Merry Christmas everyone!

My expansion plans for 2009 are to get some advertising on the site and to expand the toy archive to include the later Action Force, GI Joe - The Action Force and UK GI Joe releases. I also want to start another Touring Muton and possibly open up a shop!

The shop will primarily be for the Complete Works books and Jamar's comics, but with the option of merchandise like T-shirts, mugs, caps, calenders etc and, if possible, the repro stickers from cobrastickers.com. I'd also like to have a section for trading Action Force toys and comics.

We are still looking into the possibilities of producing our own Red Shadow figures. It's all just random thoughts at the minute but as we're clocking 2000 hits per month I intend to strike while the ironblood is hot.

All sounds really great Festive Baron!

Keep on keeping on!

It's all very much appreciated... well, maybe not by the wife!

The idea of a shop to allow us to ease away from the joys of e-bay and more importantly allow us repros of the toys (assume red shadows would be just the beginning) and to make copies of some of the excellent customs (the shadow frogman springs immediately to mind).

May even be able to do copies of boffin our collectively favourite toy

Cool, are you intending to do new sculpts or re-casts? If you are producing new sculpts, I might be able to help out with that through a few former colleagues of mine
