So, I'm considering getting back into collecting G.I. Joes, but I'm not 100% on-board, just yet. On the off-chance I DO get there, however, I have a question: What are the absolute, bar-none, bestest of the best G.I. Joe / Cobra figures out there from P.O.C. to now?

I love the P.O.C. Wave 3 Snake Eyes and Wave 4 Low-Light, so you don't need to mention those...just let me know where I can find 'em WAY cheaper than eBay

Thanks for all the help, everybody!

Have fun!!!

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

Two of my favorites are the Cobra Trooper and the Viper

So far, this is the oldest I have ever been.

The Troopers and Vipers are tops. Also Stalker, Sci-Fi, Airtight, Renegades Law & Order, and Renegades Storm Shadow(if you can find him). The Stalker makes for great headswap LBCs, so buy two and put Flint's head on it. As for where to find them I can only say good luck. It's been pretty hit and miss for awhile.
Welcome Back (sort of)!

Great question, there's been some awesome figures out.

- SDCC Zarana, expensive, but she's a very nice figure to have. Better than the original.

- Renegades Airtight, Airtight is a little limited in his uses, but this figure is just absolutely FUN.

Airtight

- Renegades Trooper, he's not got the most gear, but he's a very cool figure that's not too costly. He's a great cobra security type guy and is way cheaper than the POC Shock Troopers, who are great nonetheless.

- POC Dusty, he didn't attract me much at first, but he's become my go-to version of Dusty. The soft goods are nice and the alternate head tops it off.

- Renegades Stormshadow. There's a shot of him on the second trooper link. He is the ultimate ninja figure, he comes with almost everything martial-arts you could ever want, and can do just about anything with him. Comes with alternate heads and sash so he can be his classic self or Renegades self.

There's a lot of great figures that have come out, but those would be my picks!

Awesome, all! Thanks for the replies

I was looking at a lot of pics and was wondering what you thought of Alley-Viper from POC Wave 1, the Shock Trooper from POC Wave 3 and Shadow Tracker. Any good, or avoid at all cost?

The Alley Viper's great, but it's pretty much just the 25th one in better colors with the Resolute head. I recommend them, but they're not quite as new as others. They were sold in solid gray with the Cobra Fury/Rage as well.

The Shock Troopers are awesome, a must have for the accessories alone. The figure itself is pretty great too, it's made mostly from POC trooper/Viper parts.

Shadow Tracker I do not own, but is generally considered another must have.

I tell ya, you almost can't go wrong with POC. The figures are leaps and bounds better than 25th.

WOW no one has mentioned his favorite character having a new fig????

Haha. Thanks for that I saw Resolute Flint, though, and I'm just not blown away by him. I HAVE considered just collecting Flints, though; so maybe someday.

Have fun, all!

Alleys rock

Shock viper is cool but seems too bland and repetive (as the Alley kind of covers thier speciality) still I think they are cool and would suggest getting at least one (i renamed mine Roadkill and kept him an individual). Shadow Tracker (see below) is a fav.

Some of my recent faves (minues the ones you said to not mention):
