Which is an issue because they use the accessories to help justify their prices

I get where your'e coming from with value for money. I have the Ultimates Cobra Commander to go with Classified Cobra because the Classified CCs to date don't have the look I want and seem to suffer from misaligned helmets. Comparing the price to Cobra Island Baroness though, which was less than $55, came with a motorcycle, and has better articulation, it's hard to justify the Ultimates retail price. I will say though Utimates CC really looks the part and I am glad I got it.

I personally think a lot of corners were cut with this line and the cheapness of various aspects is undeniable. However, this is the only current Joe line I seriously collect and I like more than I dislike, so there is some nuance here I think. I mentioned this previously, but conceptually speaking this is my dream line of contemporary GI Joes. The Ultimates and Hasbro's tepid attempt at reviving O-ring figures are why I've been back to this site after largely being away for over a decade or so. Execution is where I find fault. If everything was like the prototypes I could probably never collect another Joe line and be pretty damn satisfied.

It seems kinda dumb to keep throwing down money on something you have such disdain for, but whateva
