Anytime we get 25th parts in a new release (sans the 25th BAT and Dusty) after the Ret. Line, I get disappointed. The 25th parts are just so disproportionate, and have an inferior look to the newer parts. That's why Retro Duke is such a poor figure.
I loved the 25th line when it came out, as it got me back into Joe's, but it's just so dated now.
What Hasbro is doing with re-releasing 25th parts would be compatible with them re-releasing Star Wars Power of the Force (1995) sculpts on new cards. The sculpts are just subpar compared to the updated sculpts and articulation.
As much as I love GIJoe, I just can't stand the distribution issues. I had the same problem with Star Wars. I was a faithful collector from 1995 up to the initial "Black Series" run. At that point the distribution was insane and I had to buy a complete wave of figures online. That was the tipping point for me to jump back into GIJoe collection (just prior to Retaliation with the Kwinn wave).
Well, I've been saying it for over a year, and I think I'll know more by this weekend with Hasbro's Friday reveals, but it is looking more and more that I am just going to make the full switch to Marauders especially with their Vietnam Kickstarter. My interest in GIJoe is kind of limited to 1983-1987, and those 'Nam/80s uniforms fit the design of GIJoe at those times.
