I'm curious as to whether collectors here care about figure-specific accessories or not. I imagine some people love to build dioramas or displays and don't care about the little scope that came with this guy, or the certain rifle that came with that guy, while I find myself prefering a straight line up of figures with all of their correct accessories in non-action poses. I also wonder if people need to have the original version of a weapon that has been remade at some point, or if they are okay taking a 25th Cobra Commander gun and giving it to their 1983 Cobra Commander and calling it "complete."
Any opinions or insight into this? Perhaps I'm just anal. Robowang |

I'm super anal when it comes to weaponry. IMO, a figure isn't complete unless it has it's own accessories. When I want to "swap" guns, I'd rather just head over to Marauder Inc and buy what I need/want.

I personally don't care, and usually mix and match accesories. I have tons of loose 25th joes in a box, with all the accesories thrown in there.

Where is this Marauder Inc? The only place I've found with accessories is Joeparts.com, and they want like 4-5 bucks a piece. For a hard to get part, sure, but for the average gun? I can't handle that. I'd happily pay a buck or two for parts I need, though.

Whoops, nevermind. Found it. Not real parts! Sadness.

I am extremely particular, 25th only for 25th. If I do any swaps within the line it is very carefully planed and after much mental wrangling.

I mix stuff but make sure I don't loose anything because when everything is said and done I want all the right original accessory’s for each guy.
