I honestly think ARAH o rings look better than 25ths. The modern figures ARE designed perfectly, it’s the manufacturing that makes the joints sometimes wonky. As for new sculpts holding their weapons perfectly, I have so far NEVER had a single one that held its weapon good. They’re always at an angle or don’t fit properly due to how clamp like the hands are and the lack of useful trigger fingers.

Also the new sculpt hands are usually to small for their weapons.

I'll always love O-rings best, because that's where I came from. That aside, I'd be an idiot not to agree that they don't look as good- Hell, they don't even look as good as 25th. That's progress, if they didn't, something would be very wrong...
BUT! due to the softer plastic, modern figures are very, very annoying to "gear up". especially when they come with gear not specifically designed for the specific figure. Also, the added points of articulation aren't very worthwhile if they're semi loose right off of the card. To me, moderns look amazing, but aren't as well designed as they could be. Now, what's odd, is that despite how hideous they looked, and the fact that they sometimes used the softer plastics, that's generally not an issue with the "new sculpts"; their hands were designed to properly hold accessories, and the joints seem to have aged well. They're ugly, and I sure don't want them, but at least they were practical. Pros and cons to everything. |

Oh, I know they would. Gotta keep those margins as high as possible.

If you take an 80s ARAH GI Joe figure and open up the torso you will a little rubbing O ring.
Through time alot of those break or get stretched out and need to be replaced. O rings are what holds the GI Joe figures torso, crotch and legs together. |
