In fact the most exciting vehicles to have come out were the Rattler and the new Skystriker.
^^^This.
When the 25th/ME figures came out, I was in love. I loved everything about them and couldn't imagine getting a better 'Joe product. It was the best 'Joe had ever been, in my opinion. Needless repaints (and by needless, I mean crazy colored comic book and cartoon versions, not subsets that previously existed like Tiger and Night Forces) and lazy kitbashes began to damper my enthusiasm, but I was still really into it.
Then ROC killed it COMPLETELY. I had no interest whatsoever in that line.
Then we get POC and the designs are fresh and amazingly articulate, detailed, and weaponized. I feel like you can't even stand them next to some of the 25th collection because they make the 25th guys look... bland by comparison. However, even given the freshness of the new designs, still only select few even appeal to me.
I'm getting some of the figs from the Convention set, and still REALLY want a carded Dial Tone from GIJCC (and eventually the Zarana SDCC exclusive). But after that, I'm beginning to consider returning to o-ring collecting for the Vintage aspect of it.
Like Stormgard, I'm really into collecting the TPBs of the original Marvel series, though. I'm loving that.
