I think you hit the nail on the head there.
I am not above saying that the 25th line has flaws, it obviously does. But some of the flaws that are mentioned here and in about 1000 other discussions like this are based on personal preference.
For example - I've lost count how many of the ARAH figures I've had (and still have) that got their thumbs broken or crotches broken as well as their o-ring ripped in twain. - Right now, I only have 1 broken 25th, and that was just a lemon - Beachheads foot has come somewhat loose.
All in all I think its starting to be pointless to debate this as people have made up their mind about it a long time ago.
I'm going to keep buying 25th because they are more poseable and look better in pictures then the old and dated lines, however nostalgic they might be.
As someone else pointed out as well - now I get to finally find the characters that I never had (nor knew of) when I was a kid. - All the vehicles I have now, I never had as a kid, which gives me much satisfaction now (I can finally get all that I want on my own paycheck

)
