Maybe so. Getting Action Force recognised as a part of the GI Joe universe has been my passion for a very long time. I thought we'd achieved it, I certainly never thought I'd have to start over now that we've finally got them re-released.

But after being misquoted, badgered and generally hitting a stone wall, I realised there was more going on than simple miscommunication and felt it was important enough to keep pushing. I wasn't just being a dick (not that you said that!).

This type of attitude of the admins was the reason I left YoJoe years ago.

I just looked at the page of Lt. Dolphin and I don't see what's the problem really? They say he is based on the European version of Dolphin. From a US GI Joe point of view he still is the only version ever released, so v1! All the others are international figures. The same goes for Euro-Exclusives like TF Tunnelrat: they are not included in the version list, they are international variants. Same with figures from Estrella.

All it originally said was:

This was the only version of Lt. Dolphin ever released.

The paragraph:

This character is based on Dolphin, from Palitoy's Action Force line from the United Kingdom and other Western European countries.

is the amendment.

That's what I had to fight tooth and nail for.

OK, clear to me now! Thanks...

No worries. It was the word "ever" that got my back up. Like the UK and Europe don't really count or something.
