O-ring figures were mostly normal looking, save for a few big guys. Classified makes anyone with exposed arms look like steroid abusers.

I think that comparison shows that Hasbro was the one that turned O-ring from a side-line into a real business.

I finally picked one up, and I am delighted with the improvements, the landing gear staying down with the wings retracted is fantastic, also the fuelling port is very clever, and the split cockpit canopy really adds to the look of the skystriker. The haslab team thought of everything 10/10

I went in on 5 of these for the haslab. They are amazing. So many great updates. Love the blast effects. Figures were awesome too.

That was my problem with he-man as well. And the later issues of the marvel run. Everyone became steroid users

I think gi joe was a much more interesting franchise than all the ones you mentioned even Star Wars at that time. Star Wars was three amazing movies for the time. Gi joe was a bunch of animated series plus 2 seasons of a great cartoon for its time. There was a longevity there as it was every day. Plus, the characters were relatable and an expanded universe.
