I liked POC a lot. There were new concepts in that, as well as some vintage throwbacks. Plus, they were so damn well made. Just a great line.

If I could have it any way I wanted it, it'd be POC as the mainline, a new basic assortment yearly like the joes at dollar general a while back, and then the club continue to produce ARAH remakes. But that's just a self serving pipedream, not a formula for a successful line.

I think they are already trying to do it. Seems to be slow moving, but actually putting some concerted effort into the brand instead of treating it like a red headed step child.
By that, I mean a child thats not yours, has red hair, and you dont really love but tolerate around the house so you can continue to bang her mom. |

Wrist pegs that don't break off in the forearms, backpack pegs that don't break off in the back, hip joints that don't lose all their friction, head ball joints that don't break off when trying to do a simple head swap.

If I was making a wish list to G.I. Santa,
I'd ask for; Remaing CV figures, (both CVs) a new Outback, Tunnel Rat and v1 Falcon. Any remaining ARAH vehicles up to and including 1986 that were not done in the modern era. And any remain figures up to say 88. As others have said I think the PoC model was great. It offered something for everyone. Great new designs of old characters and amazing vintage updates, AMAZING vintage updates, like Airtight, Low Light, SE, Life line, Sci Fi, Cobra Trooper, etc. peppered in. That would be the way to go forward and make both camps happy. That is all, thank you.

I am very happy with the ME figures. However, they need to work on vehicle scales. The Joes often fit poorly, especially when re-using older molds. Some of the older jets (Storm Eagle, Ghost Striker) have gigantic cockpits that look cartoonish and are disproportionately huge compared to the fuselage. It is less noticeable on the Skystriker and Conquest (the latter of which, importantly does not duplicate a real life aircraft). I get that an actual 1:18 scale jet would be the size of my coffee table, but the mismatch is really a glaring turn off. I hope future generations do a better job of it. (Meanwhile, True Heroes sells a goddamned C130 which is not 1:18 scale but at least looks proportional and is frikkin HUGE.)

I'll go ahead and say it. I want an 8 foot long USS FLAGG that's slightly bigger than the original, to accommodate the bigger ME figures. If they want to sell it in 8 Modular pieces, I'm fine with that too.
