looking at those toys for Retaliation just made me want to go back and take a big look at what we got from the ROC line that was so despised.
i didnt keep too much, but there was some stuff i really liked. i dont think ill find this much stuff i like in retaliation. IN THE END WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE AND SOLD, WHICH LINE WILL BE BETTER? ROC OR RETALIATION? PP Baroness Dr. Rex Para-Viper X8 Storm Shadow (standard) Aqua-Viper Officer X2 TRU Firefly Crimson Strato-Viper X2 Jungle Terror Range Viper X8 Volcano_Viper X8 Steel Crusher (maybe my favorite) X2 Mole Pods (probably the closest a toy came to matching its movie counterpart) X2 Gunship (small in comparison to its movie companion, but a decent personal CC transport) Night Raven (sweet jet, too expensive was the problem) Jungle Terror Cannon X2 (for my stingers) HEET SEEK Missile System X1 (looking for 1 more for my other 25th HISS) Black Flight Pods X3 (looking for 1 more) Black CLAW X4 Black Snake Armor X2 Water Moccasin (this repaint looked better then the new retaliation version) Manta Attack Sub (i refuse to call it a mantis) Snarler Cycle X2 RHINO Polar SHARC X2 Tiger CLAW Dragonhawk RIA Scarlet Helix TRU Shipwreck TRU Doc Rampage aka Heavy Metal Sgt. Thunderblast aka Thunder Leatherneck (not the best but it works for now) Here are some pics of the New Era Joe and Cobra molds/designs we got in ROC, POC, 30th. Mostly I tried to include things that weren't dedicated to ARAH rereleases like the skystriker. i know some stuff slipped through but motly this is all goodness we got from hasbro designers pre-retaliation. What were your favorites? Ill add to my list if you guys remind me of stuff i still have that i liked. my shipwreck kitbash made from all ROC parts...

Decent throw-back driver too

I'm probably going to catch hell for saying this, but I really like some RoC figures.
Take the Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes for example. Sure, the heavy coat may give Snake Eyes the articulation of a fat man in a parka, but that doesn't stop me from diggin' on the figure. There's just affable about him. Maybe it's the trench coat. Maybe it's the figures overall simplicity. Whatever the reason... whenever I look at this figure, I see the proverbial character who kicks ass and takes names. Someone with a story. Someone who can easily transition from being a commando to wrecking bad guys as an assassin/ninja. I like that. Yeah, the Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes is damn near worthless as a functional toy, but it's a pretty awesome dust collector. The same can really be said for the RoC Storm Shadow. You know, the one that's all-white and has his hood thingy on. I like that figure for all the same reasons. I also dislike it for the same reasons. But eh... compromises.. that's life. I also like the RoC Paris Pursuit Baroness (even though I don't have her). The RoC 'Ice Storm' figure isn't too shabby.. and I'm surprised by how much I like RoC 'The Doctor'. Talk about a perfect mad scientist. Easily the kinda guy you could see heading a twisted research lab, one that produces say.. zombies! buwahah. Anyways... I'll stop nao.

Strange that there is so much love for the Steel Crusher. I hate that vehicle and only bought it for the driver.

I wound up liking quite a bit from the movie line.
-PP Snake Eyes -CS Snake Eyes -Agent Helix -Pit Trooper -Tunnel Rat -Arctic Assault Storm Shadow -Desert Viper -TRU Firefly -Jungle Terror Range Viper Crap, I even like the MARS Troopers, provided you ditch the helmet and switch out some gear. In addition, the ROC figures have proven their worth a hundred fold as custom fodder. Still haven't seen the movie. |
