It depends really, there are a number of joe fans who are not happy with the 25th line because of the sculpt design (which includes myself) and size. The 25th comes in much taller than the classic and there are a lot of us who have a big classic line collection and find that the 25th largely is incompatible with what we have. I personally also dislike the torso design, IMO, a torso does not split into two, it just looks odd and you can clearly see it in a figure like Flash where the body armor splits into two when you turn in the upper torso. Factor in also that the 25th is a rehash of character designs that seems to much like what Star Wars is now, same character in same costume with new articulation design and improved facesculpt. The vehicles are also redone classic vehicles and frankly 25 years later, some are showing their age in terms of what's out there in the real world and again a number of collectors already have these vehicles. Not knocking those who like 25th but just stating why some don't like it or are not too enthusiastic about it.
