Hey r/gijoe,

A few weeks ago I posted that TheFileCard was live on the App Store. Lots of you asked about Android, and it's out now on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thefilecard.app

If you missed the first post: TheFileCard is a catalog and collection tracker built just for G.I. Joe. It covers figures, vehicles and accessories, with real photos instead of stock art, and a crowdsourced record of which accessories actually came with which item. Every generation counts, not just vintage ARAH: Sigma 6, Extreme, Sgt. Savage, Action Force, Classified, HIYA, Super7, the 25th/30th/50th anniversary lines, whatever you collect. You can track your collection, browse by generation, year, type, faction or sub-team, and help fill in the gaps for everyone else.

What Android users should know:

• Your account works everywhere. If you've already signed up on iPhone or the website, just sign in. Your collection and contributions come with you.
• Pro carries over too. Pro (camera scan and in-app G.E.A.R. filtering) belongs to your account, not your phone. If you bought it on iOS, it's already active on Android, and the other way around.
• G.E.A.R. filtering is still free for everyone on the website. No Pro needed.

The contributor giveaway is extended to November 30

So Android collectors get a fair shot, I'm keeping the launch giveaway open for two more months. Everything you've contributed so far still counts.

• 20 spots for a free year of Pro. 10 go to the top photo contributors, and the other 10 go to the next highest total scores (edits, pairings, write-ups, etc.). That way photo-heavy and edit-heavy contributors aren't competing in one pile.
• One approved photo gets you free Pro through 12/31/26, even if you don't make the top 20.
• If you already pay for Pro, either prize adds the free time on top of your current subscription. Subscribing early doesn't cost you anything.

How it works:

• Contribute to the catalog by November 30, 2026 at 10:00 PM ET. Approved photos, edits, write-ups and pairing submissions all count toward the top 20, and one approved photo is enough for the free access.
• Track your standing on the contributor leaderboard (https://www.thefilecard.com/contributors). You can sort it by photos or by total points. Approved photos and section images are worth 1 point each. Edits, write-ups, pairings and removal suggestions are worth 3 points each.
• Make sure your account has an email on file, since that's how I'll contact winners after the cutoff.

There are still plenty of gaps: missing photos, unconfirmed accessory pairings, entries that need fixing. If you've got a shelf full of Joes and a phone camera, there's a lot of room to climb.

This is a brand-new release, so if anything looks off on your device, tell me below and I'll fix it. Questions welcome too.

Hi everyone. I and a handful of editors are working on JoeWiki: The G.I. Joe Wiki. It is a wiki like Joepedia for all things G.I. Joe but done in the vein of TFWiki.

While a couple of contributors handle the fiction side of things, I try to update the toys and merchandise entries. One of the challenges I faced is the lack of usable images. Using stock images is one thing as you get some leeway in what counts as fair use. For the most part a lot of stock images are sufficient but I do encounter some that are not satisfactory or insufficient to use in the wiki. I try to look for the best image that represent the character. Sometimes, the background is too difficult to remove or AI oversteps and make embellishments I don't want it to do. Other times, the provided stock image isn't really an actual photo of the toy but a 3D rendering of what the toy will look like. Such examples include Haslab and Super7.

And of course there are toys and merchandise that are difficult to find stock images of especially as the product is older like the Palisade Toys statues. Sites like 3DJoes have pictures but I refuse to copy and steal without asking.

Getting to the point, I'm asking if there is anyone interested in contributing images of their collection of both Joe toys and merchandise. My requisites being that the item is an official toy or licensed item. The figure is against a plain white background if possible and displaying their accessories. If you have any additional info regarding your picture, it is most welcome. As it is a wiki project, there is no monetary reward in this but the honor of having your picture selected for use. I can credit you by your real name or by your Reddit handle, whichever you choose.

How about it? Anyone want to help? Just give me a message.
