I liked the concept of BF2000 a lot; it felt like Joe was trying to over R&D weapons to beat MARS and Cobra. Laser guns and the like. But the production was poor. All the figures are barrel-chested guys, and the vehicles are poorly inspired (Eliminator front gun design recycled for the Maurader rear gun, Eliminator & Sky Sweeper serve the same function, Vector gun turret too "bubbley"...). The Pulverizer the next year was the nail in the coffin. Development coincided with a lot of bright figures and goofy concepts, and I lost interest.

I agree with the idea that as GI Joe veered further away from reality, their ideas were worse for it. Eco-terrorism and space flight are grabbing at straws, if you ask me. And surely not everybody in the military is a ninja!

Yeah, not enough thought put into BF 2000. GI JOE had high tech gear from the get go, jet packs and lasers, so the premise wasn't bad. However, so much regular JOE stuff was odd that what could've been done was to split the line into psuedo-realism and BF 2000 lines. Things like the RAIDER are BF 2000, and maybe the X-wing copter, too. Maybe that was a plan, as the last additions, Pulverizer and Dee-Jay had no connections to the original fortress concept. The future fortress concept was weak in terms of execution. There was also the idea they were supposed to fight the Iron Grenadiers, since the 1988 IG stuff has the BF 2000 logo and they share background "digital explosion" colors. Yet they never really fought them in the comic.

The NEON brigade.

I must agree with the "Neon Brigade"... That was just killing some great ideas...

Apart from that - I really don't have any any sub team in mind as a worst idea. But again - situation was different here.
As you probably know, in Poland, we know Joes from, let's say around the 1990 series and later. So we have no really good Joes to compare to. And - for example cpt. Grid Iron was an awesome figure for us back then - looking tough, with whole lot of gear!
Ninja force? No problem with this series for me, as well as Eco Warriors or Mega Marines :)
Star Brigade is not my favourite and marks the end of this toys - but I got used to it somehow.

I believe it's all a matter of a Joe market at a time. You guys were all lucky because you got them from the beginning :D

But there's one thing that I can't stand. The 25th body style... Great idea, but poor execution... I don't like them being oversized, but most of all - HEADS!! Considering a hollow chin, it all looks like a mask on some kind of alien.. And reminds me more of a doll than an Action Figure.
I suppose that the only figure that will appear in my collection from the 25th is Nemesis immortal, but apart from him - you'll never see me having this "things" in my collection.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my thoughts on the 25th figures. :)
