I know some of us hate all the 25th crap Hasbro is shelling out, but then there is some like me, who hate SOME stuff that comes out.

So, what do you not like about the 25th?

I HATE the Armadillo Tank. for me it is too small......

I also can't stand how when some comic packs they release a really cool figure but pair him up with some Piece of Crap that you do not need.

thats not just the 25th, a lot of the ARAH vehicles were not nearly as big as they should have been, and go back a few years to the 2 packs, they would put one cool figure in, and one that sucked. so these complaints arent just the 25th, but all of GI Joe...star wars too. we buyers may hate it, but you have to admit that hasbro is smart in knowing we'll pay more money out for them.

True

I think most people around here know my thoughts on the 25th figures by now, so perhaps I'll refrain just this once!

I wish hasbro would:

-Get the proportions right. WIld Bill and his small head and Breaker and his big head are 2 examples

-Articulation. They shoulda put a peg swivel on a crotch piece instead of the chest rotator. The arms on most of the figures have a lot to be desired. Make 'em bend 90 degrees or more. Double joint them like the knees? Otherwise, everything is pretty top notch except for some of hte chosen characters.

-Vehicles. Where are they? Why are we getting 'crap'? SHARC before f'n VAMP? WTF?

Seriously?.. do we really need another thread to diss the 25th product.. I don't like it.. but I aint going to spend the next 10 days contributing to a complaint I've been writing up on since the beginning of the year..
Go and see my 25th Storm Shadow review.. and you'll be able to read the problems I have with the 25th stuff.

Does "nothin" count?

Actually, as huge a supporter of the line as I am, I realize it has it's flaws:

1) Duke arms. I've never been a huge fan of Duke, but when his crappy arms were used for Flint, it was ON!!! And I do think it's a real shame those arms have been used for so many of the original 13.

2) Articulation. I wish there was a standard all the figures had to adhere to (Tomax and Xamot would actually be a decent standard); the only exception being where the wrist cut is.

3) Hands should be standard, though I do appreciate the fists.

4) Repainting heads. No. Just... no.

5) They STILL haven't released all the characters from '85

Have fun, all!!!

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

There are plenty of things to hate about the 25th....articulation issues, size issues, the fact that the progression of the line didn't gradually go from ARAH to these smoothly (We should have had a few improvements to the new sculpts, then a few generations to gradually institute changes until the whole line was changed to how the 25th is now). The thing that REALLY urks me has nothing to do with the toys, it has to do with the fact hasbro basically changed the line THAT radically and then acts like the want you to "re-buy" the whole line.

I mean how would you feel if Sigma Six had caught like wildfire and Hasbro cancelled the 3 3/4 inch line? That;s how I feel right now. Thank God for the GIJCC!

Well, my primary dislike is simply the lack of new design vehicles, redoing vehicles done 25 years ago is not something I really want to see going on and on especially since it's the same vehicles that have been reissued in the past with a few modifications, we've had the vamp,awe-striker, sharc, hiss, conquest and rattlers in previous joe reincarnations and all these are looking their age today, I honestly get more interested in new chap mei vehicles than joes these days

I an in agreement with your statements as a 25th supporter. The size of the figs I like because they are true 1:18th scale now.
