ARAH. The thumbs and crotches break too easy, especially with age, but from 82-90, it was gold. After that, more miss than hit.

There are a few gems in the "new sculpt" era, but it's a mess. By the time it got its act together (better proportions, injection molded shoulders and elbows) it was done for. If from the get-go in 2002 the figures had been like 2005 VvsV Snake-Eyes and Barrel Roll, I think the line might still be going today in some form. That era did give some years for ARAH style releases to appear, too, which was a good thing.

No interest in Sigma Six, if it's not 3 3/4" scale, I don't collect it, decided that years before.

I wanted to like 25th, but the scale, the scale and initial inability of most figures to sit down (no humanoid figure is super articulated if it can't sit close to how a normal human can), made me lose interest fast. Wasn't happy about the footpeg change, either. And the mid torso joint made a few figures odder looking than they should've been. The retro packaging was cool, and were the older vehicles.

RoC, I got two figures. I tried. Still too tall, can sit down better....sort of. Figures a bit less awkward looking in most cases. Movie didn't inspire me to buy more.
