ME = Modern Era.
Joes released during and after the 25th anniversary of ARAH in 2007.

Ok, so anything before the ME uses the "o" ring & is a bit smaller?
Thanks for getting my up to speed. I collected vintage in the 80s & have only just started looking at the new stuff. |

It's up to you if you want to mix them together but it's pretty much like Apples vs. Oranges.
For what it's worth, I do not collect any o-ring figures because to me (my opinion), they look completely sub-par as far as sculpt, paint apps and overall mechanical execution. You can't get more poses out of o-ring figures because they have significantly less articulation. That's a fact. Poseable ankles and knees are awesome upgrade which the classics don't have, but how many modern figures can do basic things like sit properly, salute, cross their arms, put their hands strait up in surrender or on their heads like a prisoner, and hold a rifle with two hands? Very few modern figures can do all of those things. Heads come down to looks for me. Fully helmeted figures like the Viper looks better in modern sculpt because it's not sculpted to the neck like the vintage. But the modern human head neck joint looks terrible from the side and back. O-ring looks great at any angle. As for paint apps, modern is pretty sloppy compared to vintage. I've left figures I've wanted on the shelves because the paint was so bad. However, I really like how they're painting details on accessories now, something we didn't get in the past. I like both modern and vintage. I think figures should be judged individually, I don't think anyone can objectively say every figure from one era is superior to the other. |

I agree. The O-ring gives great range of movement - I wish they'd kept it for these bigger (ME) ones!

You can't get more poses out of o-ring figures because they have significantly less articulation. That's a fact. I am the complete opposite. I collect O-ring becuase the pose-ability and playability is superior. What few ME figures I've had were just frustrating to play with and pose. Range of motion was no where near what it is on O-ring figures.
