I just got the club newsletter today in the mail.
The club has changed the costume contest for next year.
There will be only four categories:
Kids
Baroness
Adventure Team
Cobra Trooper

as you notice there is no category for joes!
There will be a group photo also.

my question is,
when they say cobra trooper do they mean just blue shirts? no officers, no vipers of any sort, no crimson guard?

I understand the need arose to streamline the contest, I am just disappointed that the creativity factor has really gone way down, sure we can still dress up as our favorite character, we just can't enter the contest. interesting take this year, anyone else's thoughts?

They need to have a non-trooper contest. See how creative people can get with various characters.

And why is it just a Baroness category? What about the other ladies of GI Joe?

Dave aka commander over on the club forums has clarified:


we are looking for "ANY" Cobra or Enemy Trooper types and uniforms for the costume contest.

The more the merrier!
