Default A Real American Hero question

are the 2000s Joes ( o-ring ) eligible for ARAH shots? As I have those, but none from my childhood (1982....)

It's just me, but I consider the cutoff to be when the 25th Anniversary style started. When inventorying my figures, I lump the pre-25th in with my vintage o-rings.

^Yup. I now see it as o-ring and modern/25th styles. I like the Major Bludd in 2000, I looked at the line on YoeJoe. He is a walking squad killer if any of his bombs get shot. lol. I can't recall seeing many shots with him being done. Heck none really from this year. I say go for it. I'd like to see that Bludd make something go boom.

Lightbulb My classifications...

1) The "CLASSIC ERA G.I.JOE": 1982-1994 (A.R.A.H), 1997 (R.A.H.C.), 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2002 till The Real American Hero Collection ends;

2) The "NEW SCULPT ERA G.I.JOE": 2002 (G.I.JOE vs. Cobra), 2003 (G.I.JOE vs. Cobra Spy Troops), 2004 (G.I.JOE Valor vs. Venom, Comic Book 3 Packs, etc.), 2005 (as 2004 plus D.T.C.) and 2006 till Direct to consumer ends;

3) THE "MODERN ERA G.I.JOE": 2007 (25th anniversary), 2008, 2009 (Rise of Cobra), 2010 (Pursuit of Cobra), 2011 (30th Anniversary), 2012 (Retaliation, Renegades), 2013 (as 2012), 2014 (50th Anniversary), 2015, 2016 and 2017.

I think only number "1" (my so called CLASSIC ERA G.I.JOE)'d be eligible for A.R.A.H. section.

I'd go with anything O-Ring for ARAH, because that's what they were, even in the new sculpt era. 25th and after is for everything else.

Joes are Joes.

Cobra is Cobra.

I mean, there is room in my Joeverse for all of them. There are still some O-ring figures that need ME versions of them, but I ain't complaining.

To me, it is not disrespectful for O-ring Medi-Vipers to work on my wounded ME Combat Ninjas.

Or my O-ring Med-Alert and ME Lifeline to work together.

I keep a team of O-ringers as my APC drivers, because ME figs do not fit in the driver's seat. And O-ringers are more than welcome to ride in my PTE Humvees driven by my ME figs.

There is room for everyone.

This is how I have understood it to be.

NJ pretty much got it right. And arah repaints got mixed in with jvc wave 1.5. Mirage, big Ben, grey/blue alley viper, red/gray alley viper, etc. Some said they were like the red-headed Bastard child of gi Joe. But by valore vs venom and dtc, one could see hints of later standard construction. Major barrage, for example.
