From a photographic point of view, the figs from Joe vs. Cobra to now are easier for me to take pics of because of the duller paint; it's gives off less glare from light.

From my pics, you'll see I have no real problems with the 25th But hey, at least you can still find o-ringed figs on ebay fairly easily, and distribution looks to be getting better on the 25th stuff (at least in MI), so we can all be happy

Have fun!!!

Holy crap! There were five troop builders in 1985 - what am I getting myself into!?!
