This post is a bit late in coming... my apologies.
Well this is a first. For the first time in the history of the site we will have more than 1 editor in the Figures section! Please welcome John (john17) and Costas (Major_Goose) to the editing team. As many of you know Costas has been helping out as a Content Scout lately and I think it's a bit ironic that he is following the footsteps of his friend Engin (UOM now Editor).
John will be a great addition to the staff as well and has already written some excellent reviews. As an admirer of his figures for 2 years now I am happy to see him joining the growing Figure section of Armorama.
Special thanks to Nate for recruiting his new team and leading the charge as Managing Editor of that section! As the new Managing Editor Nate is the go-to guy for all things relating to figures on the site. I am looking forward to seeing what he and his new team can do this year.
Keep up the good work all! And while I am writing I would like to put out another big thank you blast to all those who have joined or re-subscribed to the A-Guard recently. That in conjunction with the new advertising zones and pricing should hopefully re-fill our coffers and allow the site to fund some special projects like attending some of the bigger modeling shows (US IPMS Nats for one).
Cheers,
Jim

Sorry...missed making that announcement! Engin was made an Editor for the Turkish community. Which is really growing fast I must say. He is also doing an outstanding job with the translations for the Turkish site. You guys did know we have a Turkish site right.
Cheers,
Jim

Well Jim, let me first say thank you for that warm welcome and introduction. I really appreciate it.
When asked to help out with the figure forum, I didn't have to think about it one minute. It was an easy decision. I've enjoyed this site for quite some time and can't begin to count the benefits I've received just from getting to know all of you. The least I can do is give back a fraction of what I've received.
With Nate & Costas guiding me along as a team, I know we'll be coming up with some really exciting and fun ideas to further energize an already outstanding forum.
Again thank you, and may all your paint strokes be good ones.

Congratulations to Nate, John and Costas.
With a triple threat like this one, there'll be no stoping the figure forum from taking over the site now :-) :-) :-).
Good luck guys,
Craig
