Some of the faces got retooled. Bumblebee and Swerve, etc...

I hope it's O Ring so I don't have to buy any more Joes. I already spend too much on the indie toy lines.

This whole thread is divided right down the middle between o-ring and modern era. But, let’s be honest no matter what we get the majority of us will buy the “retro” line due to our plastic crack addiction.

I don't know it for a fact, but I believe the Transformers were also not all vintage in some cases. Some were resissues of old, but not original, figures. Again, not the best authority on it.

Dammit your right. I have no desire to take my collection to 6" figures but I still ordered 2 of them. "(Plastic) Cocaine is a hell of a drug!"

Though I suspect O ring figures, and would welcome ME if not, I would not be opposed to MOTU Origins-style figures that feature different construction but adhere to the aesthetic of the classic figures (whereas 25th figures recreated the look in a different aesthetic). I'm gonna lmao if these end up something different entirely, like JvsC wave1 no-ring figures (18 years ago would count as "retro" to an entire generation) .

not to be funny but the debate has been 25th vs oring, what if its oring with straight arm

That and ReAction type figures are the two things I could see making me want to pass on them.

I don't want 25th either, to be honest. I really don't care for pre-RET modern Joes... I'd rather have new sculpt than that.

My ideal would be 3 3/4" versions of the 6 inch figures but with 'correct' vintage paint schemes. I know that's not going to happen, but a person can wish. And I realize some will say, but that's essentially 25th/POC/50th and you wouldnt' be wrong, but that is closer to what I want than o-ring redo's.

That’s what I want too. It’s been while since POC and Id love 4 inch figures using modern technology, but I’ll take what they give lol.
