I was an avid Joe fan in the 80's. I never bought the toys but now I want to.
I see alot of nice 25th ann. toys and wonder if all the old 80's figures will be redone? If that is the case, maybe I should just collect the new stuff and forget about the 80's toys. I am only interested in ARAH toys that had to do with the cartoon. |

You can bet that all the old 80s will be redone considering its demand level and the sales of this 25th line.
Buy what you like, not what others think of what you like. |

well there are plenty of versions made that are just like their cartoon counterparts...plenty of figures in the stores right now due to revision cases plus there are plenty of guys here that have plenty to sell or trade...

Go thru the listings on YoJoe and figure out which ones you want and go from there.

Thanks guys.
The only figures I have right now are the 2 Cobra Commander SD Comic Con figures. I got very lucky on getting both variations. I really just want an example of each figure. I have checked out Yo Joe but the number of versions is overwhelming. I get messed up at that site. Are the new figures "made" better than the old ones? |

That's subjective to the person. Some people like the O-Ring construction better, not to many like the middle style (Spytroops and VvV figures) and some people like Modern Era better.
I love the increased detail of the modern era but they feel more fragile to me then the old O-Ring.

I am just torn becasue after seeing the new Vamp, I just do not see any reason to own the original, and the same goes for the Firebat and some more I have seen.
I might collect only modern RHA and if something does not get redone but was released in the past, buy it that way. |
