For once I'd like to embrace carnage.

thats because their not supposed to look like the old characters.
i added that as a plus. not because i hate the old style but because we already have at least two versions of every core character. and thats not counting the numerous repaints that are bound to happen for ROC. even shockwave looks ten times cooler in green than blue and yellow. i could go on all day. 90% of the accessories suck? dude, a coral snake in a little cage, a rifle, and a ton of bladed weapons isnt suck. neither is the two mp5s that come with elite viper. the accessories are good, and in some cases (zartan) pretty terrible. i like zartan's sword though, it looks great with my custom metal gear raiden figure. i customize almost all my figures by the way... that may help my disposition on them. I am sorry, but the ROC Vagina Mask over another Vagina face Cobra Commander, doesnt even come close to the 25th Design....also the lame gray weapons for some of them and the waste of plastic rocket launchers....yes most of the ROC figures weaponry do Suck!! |

What I meant was, the ROC figures in general,most of them, look nothing like their respective characters of RAH, from the lousy choice of movie costumes that were chosen for the upcoming film..
I am sorry, but the ROC Vagina Mask over another Vagina face Cobra Commander, doesnt even come close to the 25th Design....also the lame gray weapons for some of them and the waste of plastic rocket launchers....yes most of the ROC figures weaponry do Suck!! yeah i dont dig the silver weapons, but the ones with good weapons come with tons of them. baroness comes with 2 mp7's and elite comes with 2 mp5's, not to mention all the cool stuff from pit commando... cobra commander's mask would look better all silver but i think its cool... dude old cobra commander is wearing those heel fabric things like my mom used to wear in the early 90's... new cobra commander is wearing MUTHAF#%!N' WING TIPS!!! also ive hated every commander aside for ROC and the resolute one. Ive always enjoyed the 'faceless' aspect of cobra and usually use that as my name for online stuff because im obsessed with anonymity and nothingness in general... i always found the facelessness of cobra commander and his troops to be thought provoking and ive written papers on it. and its not JUST faceless, its also a mirror mask. but anyway before i start rambling on some trippy stuff i should save for another thread i like the new cobra commander mask.

I agree 100% Weezus with all your points. The older designs are loved but don’t age well for practical reasons. I also don’t see any issues with the female characters face sculpts. I have CG, both Scarlets, & the Baroness which all look ok by me. I think this new line has really surprised me. I was all set to stop collecting Joes & then ROC drops sucking me in…

I like the classic look but i love the res figs even more. Roc well the real movie roc figs can stay on the pegs. i got the ice viper and he sucked i gave him to my buddy as i hated it he felt very cheap. I also got cover girl and her legs where so lose she couldnt stand as she would flop forward. so right there 2 roc figs and they sucked. I also saw a post about them breaking already. also why dose cobras come with a water pistol. the best fig and gear is the pitt commando. he is 25th mold. oh and they are reusing parts. the blue camo legs are the same mold same with the black suits & the S6 suits. Oh the para viper is all 25th man. Last edited by xhairs; 07-13-2009 at 01:07 AM.. |

Eh, I disagree, but then again I don't care for the MP7 either.

I think people want ROC figures to be better than what they really are...I bought about 10 ROC and none of them compare to the 25th line...I am trying to figure out this ROC worship from people...the figures are cool,but will never be the originality of RAH and the updated 25th line....the ROC figures are basically
25th versions with the same articulation, but most of them look nothing like their respective characters. I certainly prefer the overall colorful varied designs of the classic/25th stuff way more than the film look, but as a collector of action figures of all types, the ROC figures are among the top quality of all 3 3/4 scale I've seen. I'm talking about the construction and articulation, the bulk of accessories, the sculpts, a lot of the paint apps, and the likenesses. Much of this is owed to the 25th line, the last few non-repaints were on par with the ROC to me, but lacked the number of accessories since they were meant to match the vintage counterparts I think many people are simply surprised that they aren't as heinous as anticipated! I like them alot, if only for all the new molds, but they do lack that excitement that comes from seeing a RAH character brought back to life |

about commando being a dusty, yeah i know, but once again the repainted camo that actually fits with the other figures is preferable to a solitary desert figure that only fits with desert leatherneck (which i never saw at retail). and once again i paint and customise all my figures. thats what im doing right now... painting ROC flash to have light blue armor instead of orange. (which im absolutely sure they will release in a few months anyway) |
