I think for it's time, G.I. Joes from the original line are far superior to most other toys out there, in terms of sculpt, range-of-motion, detail, EXPANSIVE line of characters (are you kidding me? To be a MOSC collector of the entire series? Good Lord, my hat's off to those rare few who have managed that), and points-of-articulation, old Joe 3-3/4" figures STILL beat most figures out there today, save for Marvel Legends, and other select lines.
In fact, they've been the basis for most figures' design since then, am I not correct? You can see the Joe ARAH figure influence on most modern "action figure" toys. They were genius designs for their time, I put them up there with Legos and Transformers as my favorite childhood toys that STILL succeed today. 25th? I love it as well, in fact, I think the designs are far superior, as is articulation (I agree, range-of-motion is different that articulation, and that did suffer for a time). A fantastic update to the line we loved. It's like asking who you love more, your wife/girlfriend now, or the woman she was when you first fell in love. I'd like to think for most she's gotten better with time. (That's not a good analogy for some, but an easy way to "generally" put it.) |

When I bring up the durability of RAH over the 25th, I'm looking at as a kid would. I was tough on my Joes when I was little and aside from the thumbs and crotch, they were great and held up well. I don't think the 25th line would stand half the abuse the RAH ones could.
Both lines are great, but I guess for me it's somewhat of a nostalgia factor also that has me preferring the RAH line more than anything.

25th in spades. i love the old school, but the new ones are better in almost every regard.

The original... because that's my childhood.
The 25th looks awesome... no doubt... but doesn't hold any emotional value to me. I feel the same about the original He-man, and the new line coming out. |

I'd take RAH, mainly because it had more characters and vehicles. When 25th gets around to re-releasing all the classic characters i'll be happy though. I prefer the variety of RAH, but the style of 25th.
