this is a classic. vintage 2007 when we were happy to just be getting 25 figures total instead of crying that Hasbro hasn't given us a Airtight or Zarana yet. I still remember that feeling of finding the 25th figures in the wild for the first time. I immediately felt like a kid again and you can't bottle that feeling.

I was at another site back then.
I remember a lot of people were furious they weren't ARAH molds. I remember I was ecstatic because Hasbro was at long last doing with GIJOE what I'd wanted them to do since the late 1990's.

I was pissed. But web gear sold me!
Gi joes with removable and swappable vests! That adds so much to play time! |

Wow thats dead on, the "wah I'm banning all non- o-ring figures" is "waah I'm banning non-25th" It's like the same close-minded people that can't accept new things.
I really just find the old o-ring debate so laughable now... GI Joe isn't a little rubber ring, It's about the GI Joe mythos and characters. The Joe Vs Cobra and valor vs. venom and spy troops erra was a good time too. The designers actually reinvented characters and used Devil's due designs too. And all the army builder packs were awesome the crimson guard pack, the shadow guard packs, and the bat packs were all great. And Built to Rule was a great concept that was poorly executed, come on GI Joe plus Legos how could you go wrong. That being said I love the 25th line and I like alot of the ROC line. But the new vehicles don't hold a candle to the vintage stuff. Only good vehicles are the reproductions of the old ones. |

What upsets me with revining old posts like this is knowing we will never get this again... :(
Why so mean? Is it not enough to just let it go so we don't get our hopes up? Man makes me miss the old days of hunting hard for these figures...oh well its like ARAH of the 80s, its all gone... |

![]() But yeah, I remember getting back into Joe a few years ago... I'm still pretty thrilled to be, but some of that 07 feeling has been lost due to RoC. I'm just not that excited about the revamp. But I'm still holding hope they'll continue putting out classic designs here and there, cause that'll keep me coming back for more! Thanks for a good run, Hasbro.

Consider this: if it weren't for the vacuum created by Hasbro's lack of delivering more 25th versions of our old favorites, we might not see the brilliant talent of our customizers that take it upon themselves to create their own Dail Tones, Lifelines, Zandars and Zaranas.
On a self-serving note, I would like to move my vintage/classic/ARAH figures on to other collectors for them to love and enjoy. So this creates a demand for my supply. Now if I culd just bring myself to list them in Extensive Enterprises....
