Blood is nice. That pic is nice. But the 25th Blood (which I just picked up today is amazing!!! The missiles come off the pack for crying out loud) is superior. Like the original and like the fig in the pic I'll be fixing the arm for movement.

Don't get me wrong, the new sculpts in some cases look nice,( other cases not so good, btw ever look at these things side on? The head articulation makes them look like the robots from I, Robot), but these figs are just ornaments for me, I find them useless for my pics. __________________ SILENT DUSTY "...but for a soldier his duty is plain.

Unique 25A hands that can only hold a specific item (Roadblock) or nothing at all (Cobra Commander) really annoys me. __________________ My JoeDios photos \| Flickr

Rambo ARAH for O-ringers Offline --> Posts: 6,074 --> Join Date: Dec 2007	O-ring rules!!!!! The o-ring is GI Joe. Hasbro could do better only if they want. Check the work of this customizer. It is pure o-ring. If a single man can do this, what about a big company like Hasbro could do. http://www.joecustoms.com/userops/profile.php?uid=12 http://www.evilface.com/livevil.htm __________________ HEROES DON'T DIE, THEY JUST RELOAD

I'm not opposed to change, but I'm finding I like the bastard era stuff more and more. The shoulders are no biggy but I'm finding I like the old arm swivel better than what they are doing now. The ankle articulation, doesn't mean much to me. I'd rather see a thigh swivel tho so you can line up the leg better when they are standing. Still, ARAH is the past for me. And when I see them used, it's just like, "guh..." Especially the HUGE difference in Lehsreh's "Country Boy" dio. Cross COuntry and his giant noggin, horrible face sculpt vs a better looking figure like cowboy Wild Bill. Or the 2 era of TeleVipers together??? EEK!
