Yay! I look foreboding!
As for the wiki, where do we want to go with that? The major overhaul to the design changed a lot of things and I know I personally don't have the time to really commit to it. I don't think it's worth just abandoning, but I wonder if the wiki should just be for the toy lines, not for other stuff like customs or bios. Keeping that kind of stuff up to date honestly seems pointless since we could just link to Wikipedia instead.

The thing abt customs on the wiki is that one a customizers page is up - they can update it themselves. But I agree that bios are prolly not necessary. I just find it hard to navigate thru with the new design.

7th-Take a look at Atgscl's wiki custom page. Should I keep going with the unfinished ones? The active ones I'd leave to the customizer. I'd love a huge gallery of thumbnails were where we can see the entire universe of characters this board has created. Maybe that would be part of the Flicker project.

But what do u guys think we can to to the comics/movies/games sections to jazz them up? I know there was suggestions to possibly expand them - but what did u guys have in mind? I think the only thing we can really do is just encourage people to post ideas. opinions & brief reviews. Then just hope/encourage for debates and conversations. Ideas/Pics/Info threads for upcoming Superhero films are a must too (Cap, Thor, Green Lantern etc etc). Get people thinking and posting about them too.

Questions abt the visual checklist:
Do you guys mind that I have the rare figs listed there like Wrecker, Nighthawk, Hepzibah, Crossbones, or even Kraven? I mean, they were not officially released (in the US), but some people actually have them - so dont they count? Should I seggregate them into a RARE section?
I also plan on possily axing the IM or Spidey costume sections for space reasons - any comments? I may make seperate checklists for various character sculpts if u guys want it. (like and Armory)

I think figures like Wrecker are okay since they did get a release (sure, overseas) while Nighthawk and Hepzibah never got any release, even internationally. Kraven is an odd one. I'd say make a list for DOMESTIC, International and UNRELEASED.
But then again, I own them all so I feel like it isn't really targeted at me.

U own Kraven, Hepzibah and Nighthawk?
And with that fact that people may own them all, would that be ok to have on the poster? If anythin - segregated to a rare section maybe?

Can anyone access page numbers on the wiki? Are people even visiting it? It'd be nice to get some analytics data to analyze.
I personally just don't see any reasons for character-based entries on the wiki - except in the events of being able to see all the figures of that character. Otherwise, I personally don't see any reason in the bios.
Also, the fact that when in the bio pages and you see the collection of images, you can't click on the image to be taken to that set's entry seems very odd to me.
Also, did the wiki remove the ability to see history of edits?
Two other things on the wiki - Spider Truck Spider-Man and Bank Heist Spider-Man are both new figures, not repaints. X and I have argued about this in the past and I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only people who owns both of these sets. Can someone else who owns both of these figures step in with a comment? They both only have 3 POA, while X claims they're repaints of figures with 4 POA.

I actually like to see the countless sculpts and repaints of a single character. I think that should be part of the wiki.

I personally never liked the idea of Bios on our wiki. Always thought we could always just link to a more flushed out entry in the Marvel Database Wiki or sumthin. BUT having all the sculpts of a character in 1 place IS a very good reason to have them.
