Frostbite will (deservedly) win this in a landslide.
Blackout and Hollow Point are honourable mentions for being well-designed new(er) era characters. Banzai and Zartan were both well done, but not particularly interesting to me. Doc and Jane were great concepts that should have been better executed. Red Pads Grandslam gets a tonne of hate, but everyone seems to forget how much every G.I. Joe forum was screaming for a red pads Grandslam for about 7 years to complete the OG13. Then we get him and everyone screams more. Go figure. TF Roadblock was a waste of a spot. Repaint teams should NOT have been in the FSS.

If no slots had been wasted in FSS and JoeCon sets for International figures and other obscure stuff, it is calculated that there were enough slots available to produce a modern era version of every ARAH figure up through at least '91 including all subteams. So at least TF Roadblock was a legit ARAH figure and therefore a useful add to the collection, and also wasn't really wasting a slot, unlike figures that didn't exist in Tiger Force until after 1994 if at all, like Jinx, Tunnel Rat, etc, or international stuff that was never a part of ARAH and would be fine to include after ARAH modern era was completed. |

Subteams are only wasted slots when the figures weren't part of the 82-94 lineup.

I'm OK with most of the figures we got. My main criticism of the figures I don't like are the ones that have terrible out dated 25th builds, or those figures that have limited articulation. I'm OK with the Z-Force and OG international figures. They inspired me into customizing, so I'll say thank you club for that.

I'm saying that I'd want, and we could have gotten, the entire ARAH lineup through at least '91 between FSS and JoeCon sets. And I would have much preferred that been accomplished than what they did with so many slot wasters.
I don't know or care about '93 Mindbender. I was out of Joes by then so there's no nostalgia for me for that toy. I personally think the toy line lost its way after '91 anyway, so I'd much rather have 82-91 completed than anything else. That, to me, is GIJoe, along with the Sunbow cartoon two seasons and the classic Marvel comics line which goes up through 150-whatever, though I only read up through around 120 when I was a kid. |

That's possible. Muskrat has the biggest win so far, getting 56.67% of the vote. We'll see if Frostbite can hold his margin of victory!!!

To me, repaints of a character, or redos outside of some of the classic V2s (Hawk, Snake Eyes, Roadblock and debatably Stalker) should not have been done.

Frostbite, with Zartan in second. The only thing against the Zartan set was the big markup over the Heartwrencher set. Both the VAMP and Doom Cycle were only $15 MSRP, so Heartwrencher was already pushing it at the Club’s asking price. Banzai was nice too as the last real 13th figure.
