This thread is gonna turn into a haters paradise fast, but lets try not to do that. The reason I started it is because I WANT to buy some ROC stuff...but couldnt bring myself to. I stopped with the 25th line and that was it. I see some cool things here and there...then I see Snake-Eyes and that huge visor and the lips...and I'm just like..ah man..cant do it.
However I see some charecters that were NOT in the movie that looked..."buyable". So for everyone else on the fence...why ARE you on the fence? Are you like me who months later are now giving it thought, have you tried it and just werent feeling it? Lets get over our fear together. |

The ONLY main line ROC Figures I am interested in (Read Non-Exclusive) are CS Snake Eyes (he does not count he's Resolute!) and Paraviper (does not count either as it's a 25th Repaint). I hate the design and look of the figures and the vehicles pure and simple. I look at them and I see a generic movie toy line, NOT G.I. JOE!

I don't like the vast majority of the ROC line, but the stuff I do like, I buy. Its simple. The reason I don't like the majority is because I am an 80's cartoon, classic line kind of cat.

As for ROC I told my self that I wasn't going to be a completist because it was so different to the G.I. Joe we are use to. Then Toys R Us started having those 2 for $10 sales and I went overboard. I have to admit the details and articulation on the ROC figures are a lot better then the 25th figures. I still won't buy any of the Cobra Vipers I really don't like Hollywoods take on Cobra. but figures like Helix, Pit Commandos and Paris Pursuit Snake-Eyes are a win no matter what kind of Joe collector you are. We need more people to buy ROC (just buy what you like) so we can move the first to fracking Waves. If you really want to test the waters with ROC figures I say start we Wave 3 these are a lot better and eventually leads to Pursuit of Cobra figures. I won't even mention the vehicle because they're mostly repaints of old vehicles. I did buy the Steel Crusher and the Snarler and that's it for vehicles in my opinion.

I just don't buy any figure that appeared in the movie because the movie designs are just aweful and not G.I.Joe like at all.
The Joes look like X-Men,Iron Man and the U.N. On the Cobra side the Vipers are alien looking, CC looks like a Star Wars character. I do buy some non-movie stuff from the ROC line as they weren't designed by the idiots at Paramount who have no clue what G.I.Joe is all about. |

i've always been selective, even within the 25th line. if a figure looks bad i won't buy it. if it wasn't for wanting/needing custom fodder i wouldn't have bought any roc stuff.

I've dislike the all-black design aesthetic from day one. I want Joes not movie-style X-men or Matrix refugees. It's just derivative and lame. (and i Hate, Hate, Hate the USPS logo). and the less said about the turtle vipers and their derivatives the better.
that said, i think a large chunk of the POC figs are ACE!!!
