I still say they do not look "G.I.Joe" enough for my tastes. I have bought 3 ROC figs, and the PIT. The Pit is awesome. It really is THAT cool. But the figures just dont do it for me. I chuckle when I see that Cobra Commander. Its SO rediculous looking.
The figures I did buy are pretty garbage, except the RA Scarlett. I do like that one. The Cobras look plain ol' STUPID compared to a classic blue shirt or viper.
Shipwreck. I bought that one, and everyone was going nuts over how cool he is..I just dont see it. The drybrushing is nice to bring out details, but it should be done in a way that dosent look like a chinese 3 year old did it in a toy sweat shop. Very sloppy.
The "heavy Duty" figures look like retarded gorillas.
One of the things that is just BUGGING ME TO HELL...is looking at reviews from people that say "..AND he comes with TONS of equipment!!!" Really? aside from the PIT trooper, (still havent found one..) most of these figs come with the same amount of stuff as any 25th figure. some come with less. I DONT count the rediculous spring weapons. REALLY people...can you STOP saying "he comes with TONS of equipment" when that dosent seem to be the case?!?!?
These things are WAY overrated. I collect MOC joes,The carded figures ROC figs are not even worthy of collecting. they look horrible compared to the standard carded joe, the way they used to do it.
This roc thing, is a huge bandwagon that I think most jumped on just because its the only joe stuff out. If someone put out a GOOD, military figure again, I would buy them, and not feel guilty about not spending money on Joe at all. I keep searching for Pit troopers...I DO want those, but all I see are wave 1 peg warmers..they are EVERYWHERE...the stuff isnt moving like 25th figs. Sure you had a few peg warmers in that line, but it wasnt an ENTIRE WAVE sitting on pegs...
