As for the ARAH Joes, I think they still hold up really well against half the crap in the toy aisles. Comparable "army men" in the toy aisles today (like Joes) are still worse in the design/mold/articulation department than GI Joes from nearly 30 years ago.
Vintage Transformers, as far as the concept behind them and their construction, still outshine half the crap in the toy aisles today.
The only toys that outperform the classic Joes and Transformers as far as design/sculpt/articulation are their modern versions (the Joes and TFs of today), and Marvel Legends figures, and higher-end Japanese toys, if you ask me.
Do the vintage Joes look goofy in comparison to the 25th figures? Yes, but there are still some AMAZING sculpts out there that amaze me to this day. Where would modern Joes or TFs be if they hadn't been so good to begin with?
