I like the ROC versions I've seen just fine, the ROC BBQ is the first BBQ figure I actually considered picking up (but it's still BBQ so I still passed) I won't hold out on buying a figure I like in hopes that Hasbro might make a classic version of it later down the road.

I skipped the 25th BBQ as well and picked up the RoC one.

Hasbro already stated in the QA that classic style won't return in 2010. if that is the case, you could end up waiting a while if the brand takes off and Hasbro continue to move forward instead of going backwards.

It's all apples and oranges man. Some like one thing, some like others. Im just expressing my opinion. Why go around and question everything and everyone? I could care less if they make another Joe period. It's not like I'm holding a gun to Hasbro's head or mine. But IMO if I want those characters, I would prefer them to be in classic colors. If for no other reason then for nostalgia. That's why I collect toys as a grown man. For nostalgia.

I don't think much is stopping Hasbro from releasing ARAH-style designs in the RoC line. Helix isn't anything that wouldn't have fit in with the old more unique designs, so in theory any other character could have more flamboyant or distinctive deco after being released in boring camo originally.

If I like the fig then I'll pick it up. I just picked up the TRU Firefly exclusive today - and I must say great job Hasbro!

Well, since I only buy figures for nostalgic reasons I won't be buying many ROC figures. I plan on buying 4 or 5 Hawks (for the short sleeves/no gloves). I also plan on buying Heavy Metal (Rampage), Thunder (blast), the Nitro (Motor)-Viper and the Aero-Viper. But that's about it. I think it's cool that a lot of you are enjoying the new line, but it isn't really all that exciting for me. Star Wars and MOTU have more are going to be getting almost all of my spending money (at least for 2009). Ironically, I think I spent more on Joes than Star Wars in 2008.

I only collect Cobras, so I won't be picking up the Joes no matter how they look.
Like many, I'm not a fan of most of the ROC stuff, but I will definitely be getting the Target exclusives. I don't mind that the vehicles are different colors, I kind of prefer the new EEL paint scheme, it looks vintage, without the red "shoot me here" on his chest. I also like the Ferret's new colors, just haven't picked up any b/c of the price. It would have been nice if the Wal-Mart Nightcreepers were in their classic colors, but I'm still going to pick some of them up as well. The only ROC items I got so far are 2 Steel Crushers, I love them and the driver, again a nice homage to the classic Motor Viper. I love the SNAKE Armor, so I'll be buying them up no matter how many different colors they put out. Overall, I think Hasbro is doing a pretty good job appealing to the ARAH fans. |

I just buy what I like. So far that means not a whole lot of RoC figures... but a few. I also picked up the Armadillo, because I want a camouflaged one, and I will certainly pick up the black SNAKE. I've already got a couple mint original ones, this is just something extra, you know? I prefer RAH but I'm not a purist in that sense.

If the new 5 pack included the figures with their original look, I'd buy it, but I'm not interested in a female Dial-Tone or a desert camo Law & Order and Footloose. I'll get the classic looking figures, vehicles and mini-playsets from the ROC line.
I'll still buy the few ROC figs I like (Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, etc) but I won't try to collect them all like I did with the 25th line.
