In the short time Ive been in the gijoe scene Ive noticed not all figures are the same...some have a not so graceful stance,some don't have all the articulation as others,and some just aren't as neat as others....
My personal favorite so far is the shock trooper derivative figures,at least the ones Ive held in my hand,and inspected.that also makes me most interested in the combat trooper that's coming out,from the pictures it appears to be another variant of these figures I already know and love. from my limited experience with these figures,they seem to have the best balance of features,and the best stability when standing without a stand,and overall my personal favorites so far. I also like the figures containing the "snake eyes legs" as I call them(the holster with the silencer storage which is a cool feature),but the right knee on these figures appears a little caddywhampus,kinda bowed in? and keeping track of the knee pads,the knive,tiny pistol,and even smaller silencer can be a pain.still my second favorite design,once again from the limited experience with the figures Ive personally fiddled with. I'm curious to know what the true gijoe pros consider to stand out above the rest,and why... |

I also like the Shock Troopers, since it looks like the current uniform the military is wearing.
The recent female molds like Resolute Scarlett, Helix, ROC and Baroness show nice form and poseability. The Slipsteam mold is a good overall pilot mold. The Renegades Law makes a nice base for a PMC. Looking forward to the Ultimate Duke and Flint coming soon.

i would have to say any figure in the POC line is perfect! but over all the POC vamp driver Clutch is the best. once you place the 25th head on the body

Right now I would have to say my top 3 I'm using are the DG Shipwreck, DG Trooper, and the wave 2 Roadblock. Need rage toys has the wave 2 Roadbock for $2.50. I ordered 2 and should have ordered more but I've already got 4-5. That Shocktrooper body is really good too, I like the steal brigade version the best

Read my sig.
But I like the POC Beach head and POC Duke. A lot of detail and the gear is put right.

1. POC w3 "Ultimate" Snake Eyes -this mold is so much more versatile than the sweater might imply.
2. Renegades Storm Shadow- Perfect generic ninja sculpt. Perfect in it's form, balance, and simplicity. 3. Shocktrooper- The main reason it's 3rd and not 1st, is because it can't aim down a guns sights perfectly. Pay attention when designing those elbows Hasbro!! As long as Hasbro makes the toy near-perfect in the basic design/sculpting stage- I don't care how many times they re-use the mold. If it's a good toy, I'll buy it forever.

I think the most well balanced figure is destro iron grenadier from the 25th ann line. Wont fall over flexable and dont need a stand! Beside great looking figure and custom friendly

Mine has always been the BAT. I dunno, I just love the look, especially the new ME versions of them. I wish they would make a ME version of OverKill because it would be nice to have a BAT leader. I think it is because it has the ability to swap out hands for weapons which is IMHO always a cool thing. I also love the hand gun they come with now is a .50 Desert Eagle...
