I can see that point, I’m looking at it being released and marketed to the kids, those o rings ain’t going to hold up compared Hasbros newer designs.

I think Orings play better than the modern construction.

I'm completely biased because like many folks I grew up with ARAH and I still think o-ring Joes make the best toys. 1983 Duke can actually sit, 24 years later a new Duke is released who has less range of motion in his elbows and can't sit.

Lol for sure. They had better range of motion in most areas.

New stuff is more for display imo. So for me new designs make more sense since I don’t play with Joes anymore. I just collect.

I’m just stoked Joe is back this heavy. I may not agree with hasbros decision for rereleased o ring figs, but I’m not the least bit mad at it. I support Joes no matter what.

Agreed. Seeing this level of support for GI Joe from Hasbro is awesome.

Going backwards for o rings is a dumb move.

You hater!!! You're just being a hater!!!

Just kidding! But I see your point. I would be OK if they went truly retro O-rings mainly because of the nostalgia factor. But I would prefer the more modern approach. All ARAH redesigns in the 30th/Ultimate/50th builds.

Is there a reason why people think these are going to be modern construction? So far all of Hasbro's retro lines have been reissues right?
Why would this line be different?

I don't think anyone saying that it will be, like with me for instance, I don't think it will be modern construction. I just see a lot of people saying that's what they would like to see.
