It is already known that the POC line was the direction the ROC line was going just in ROC packaging, and it is very likely that still would have morphed into the 30th line at some point.
Had the ROC toyline succeeded, imagine what the size and scope of the POC/30th toyline could have been. Even ignoring the large Cobra Missile playset and possible Renegades carrier that were cancelled possibly due to the underperformance of the PIT playset, we could still be getting POC Target deluxe small vehicle packs or large vehicles like the RHINO, Wal Mart playsets or 2 packs, undoubtedly we would have gotten more TRU single packs and 5 packs, and probably more vehicles. I'm not saying anyone should have purchased ROC toys they didn't want, but there was a significant amount of pleasure by some seeing the toyline fail. Was the pleasure of seeing it fail worth the line dwindling and getting so few classic 30th Anniversary figures? Was your hatred for seeing the brand change for the movie worth not getting more figures down the line that you would want? My hatred is so great that I would gladly sacrifice figures I want and complain about not getting because of ROC to see ROC fail. If it would have led to more figures I do want, I suppose it would have been a small price to pay to see ROC succeed.

I liked the ROC line, it just died way too soon, considering how it was supposed to evolve into POC.

i didnt buy roc toys.but i dont think that they had anything to do with further lines being limited. i would imagine just the snakeeyes and storm shadow figures alone supported that line.

Failure of GI Joe in any medium is bad. And people who revel in those failures are fucking assholes--why would you want a brand that you love enough to sign up for a forum dedicated to that brand to fail? Does the idea of walking in to a store and not seeing your favorite brand waiting for you sound like fun? No. It sounds awful. A lot of people will complain that's the case now. Well, bevause ROC "failed," we're paying the price now with shit distribution and minimum ordering.
And I've said it a million times: there are a lot of great figures in the ROC line. And they evolved into the figures that we're going apeshit for now.

ROC brought me back into collecting, so that's the good aspect of it for me personally. But after seeing the POC figures (Lowlight, Beachhead, Snake Eyes (the really good one), the ROC figures just don't compare.
Were there any new ROC figs? Thought it was mostly actor head sculpts and repaints of the 25th....Some of the repaints / kitbashes were really good, IMO (Gung Ho, Shipwreck....I liked the modern looking Flash)... |

I thought some figures were really good and some were extremely bad.But that goes for really any joe toyline.A majority of the vehicles were excellent.If you wanna talk about a bad toyline with really bad figures look at G.I. Joe Extreme or Valor vs Venom.Although the ARAH figures released in VvV were good and some of the Vehicles were pretty good.
