Getting back to the point here I think while the ME joes are fantastic but they do lack that playability to the originals had. I can't understand why Hasbro has been missing this. Seriously think about it just about every Oring was interchangeable with the rest of the line. Meaning the weapons and gear could be used with just about any other figure and they were all pretty much able to fit into every vehicle. Fast foward some 30 years and Hasbro can't get figures to hold the accessories that are included with the figure. Again I am not knocking the ME line as I do love it but I can see why its not all that popular with kids today.
Yep.
I prefer ME for my custom work, posability, and aesthetics.
BUT...
Kids need the oring-type durability for playing, and the ease of which to mix parts! Kids can customize/LBC the heck out of orings--that was half the fun--but not nearly as well with ME.
