Choose your era!
I was doing a shoot for the dio tonite and I was using o-rings from the... Uh, VvV era. It got me thinking, "Gee whiz, I'd love those Steel Brigade guys in 25A form (I'm using the Plauge vs SB o-ring figures)."
It's no secret that the original flavored stuff is awesome in its own regard. The Bastard Era or Theme Years provided just as many gnarly figures as well as CRAPPY ones. Then you get to the 25A era (give or take Sigma6 and Resolute in the way) which is BEST shown as the single cards having SILVER backs. After that was over, fans got what is best known as MODERN AGE which had the "From the... Comics/International/Cartoon logo" on it. And of course, we got ROC now. And it'll continue till on till who knows when! So what do you prefer overall? Does the 25A destroy what Hasbro did back when? Does the ROC continue on with the Joe line where the 25A went for a classic, yet updated look? Maybe you prefer Resolute over EVERYTHING else. Maybe you said, "forget it all" and would prefer the old ARAH sculpts, forget this wrist articulation and change in sculpting ways! Vote down there. Errrr, somewhere down there. Under where?

I was torn between the 25th and resolute here.
I figure the 25th has given me more, based upon the ARAH.

THOUGH I'M IN LOVE WITH THE NEW LOOK AND RE-INVENTION OF THE ROC LINE AND HAVE SOME WHAT WARMED TO THE 25A BECAUSE OF IT. IF I HAD TO CHOOSE ONLY 1 AS MY FAVORITE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE ARAH. HOW COULD WE FORGET THE O'RING THAT GOT US ALL STARTED ON THIS LOVE HATE RIDE WITH HASBRO. THE CAMPY (TO US NOW) CARTOON THE CHEESY (COBRA-LA) MOVIE AND FAR OUT COLORS (ALLEY-VIPER) OF THE 90's THE ARAH LINE HAS GOT TO BE MAY ALL TIME FAV.!!!!

I have to roll with ARAH, the most variety and versitility of any incarnation of GI Joe. I was hit and miss on 25th (any duke armed figures were low on my estimation) and the VvV era was cool but there were some bombs (Alley Vipers), The Spytroops/JvC era was ok but some purportion issues prevents many of these figures from reaching "Awesome" status (Shipwreck) and the best stuff from that age is the re-released ARAH stuff (Other Alley Viper, blue and urban cammo). Sigma isn't even the same scale so I don't even look at it. ROC figures have some nice designs but also some very bland ones as well (ie so many looking the same), so that stops them from being my faves.

It seems strange to me that ARAH is easily ahead in the poll, yet 90% of the pictures posted these days are ROC or 25th. Go figure!

Craig, that's why I posted this poll. It seems to me a lot of people are doing the ROC/MA/25A most. Funny how things work, eh?

I think that is more to do with "newness factor" than anything, ie people get new toys and want to show them off. Since ROC and 25th are newest people show them off while its really hard to get new ARAH if you have been at it for a while even on the second hand market since there is a finite number of figures. Whereas ROC and 25th are still coming out.
Just a thought. I know I do that from time to time  |
