And for what it's worth, I didn't get back into STAR WARS figures until the Episode I collection was released. The POTF2 figures I do have, I got for a steal at a convention. You're right; they were ugly. |

The joints ARE there - they just don't work 100%. Anyways... Hasbro's fixing it and I certainly celebrate it!

When those POTF2 figures came out in June of '95 I thought they were awesome looking (I thought they were a major upgrade from the older figures)! Almost 13 years later it is really easy to say those figures are bad looking now, but this just wasn't the case when those figures hit (okay, the exception was the original Leia figure, she was definitely not very attractive even by 1995 toy standards).

Yes for me.
As CIAD stated...I'm just happy to see GIJoe still going strong....just need to see them at retail more often. My thoughts...these were being advertised as the "most articulated GI Joe figures yet". And I personally didn't care for the idea of giving up the ability to be compatible with existing product (vehicles) to have added articulation elsewhere. Bottom line is: Hasbro heard people complain about the not being able to sit properly...and is trying to fix it. Who knows...maybe this all came up upon the plans of adding the vehicles to the line. I'm sure it is easier and less expensive to create a crotch mold...than it is to retool a vehicle cab to fit a figure that sits with its legs farther apart. I'm a vehicle collector as well as figure collector (as is my son)...if they are making this fix...I personally hope it is a sign that GIJoe is going to go full steam again. I'd love to have updated figures and vehicles...and yes, I'd like the figures to work well with the vehicles. Just my .02.
