However, there's no hard cutoff date. Hasbro continued to release o-ring repaints (as well as partial repaints with some new parts, or new figures kitbashed from lots of vintage parts) all the way through 2006. But those were mixed with the "New Sculpt" stuff without a clear branding distinction.
For me, things just get too messy after 1994 and I prefer to leave that as the cutoff for my collection focus.
Ok, I see what you are saying, you're correct - I was just on yojoe and see that they did release those figures well past 2002 - I assumed they stopped in 02. Personally I would still consider them separate lines even though there is some crossover time wise. Even though the packaging may have been different, repaints/re-releases of ARAH regardless of whether it was 97 or 04 in my mind is still ARAH 2.0 or whatever you want to call it.
