I was like, wtf?!

But what I'm getting to, why do people go out and buy every version of each figure?
I mean, if I was rich I'd search for the V1 Firefly In box and keep him that way, but thats just for memories.

So here is my opinion,
The 25th is hitting ful force, the bad thing is, too many repaints!
Now don't get me wrong, even though Firefly was made from Beach Head doesn't meean he is a crappy figure, I love the 25th Firefly, he is probably the best so far out there.

Now that i have said that, for those of you have the original figures Hasbro is rehasing, do you want to buy the 25th? I mean, since you all have the originals, why would you buy remade editions of the originals?

PS
Toneguns, Outrider and Ender098 are my hero's for staying aboard the originals train!

When that's all Hasbro make, it doesn't leave you much choice! Repaints have always been a problem with the Joe line, but the 25th stuff seems to be made from about a half dozen sculpts just used over and over again. How many 25th CC's, Snakes Eyes and Storm Shadows are there already in less than two years? It's just laziness on Hasbro's part. And there is no way I'm going to restart a 25 year, 1,800 figure collection all over again because Hasbro decide to retool the style and start from scratch. As for the "hero" part, you are being very kind, and I thank you!
