I haven't done one of these in a bit and wondering how tastes have changed. Who/What are your favorite "top 10" Joes, Cobras, or other faction figures from the 2007-Current era~Modern Era? By favorite I mean the top 10 you like best personally because of aesthetic, playability, cool factor, or other more personal reasons. I don't mean because they are hard to find, or any other financially motivated reason.
These can be Hasbro retail, Hasbro limited editions, or Club figures. I'd like to stick to official releases and sponsored releases, so try not to put Coil or Jersey exclusives, or customs. You also don't have to individually rank them if you don't want to.... Thanks for playing! My Top 10: 1. Beachhead- HoH version 2. Lady Jaye- 5 pack version 3. Snake Eyes- PoC version 3 4. Firefly- Ret 3 pack version 5. Baroness- SDCC 3 version-yep big head and all. 6. Snow Serpent- single card 25th version 7. Hawk-single card 25th version 8. Cobra Commander -Armor single card 25th version 9. Daina- Club 10. Cobra Trooper-30th/PoC

Thought this would be easy until I realized you meant our Top 10 straight out of the package. I have a ton of awesome figures I love, but most have been modded in some way to get them where I want them to be. That said, here are the favorites I've never felt the need to mod:
1. Baroness 2009 (version 12). Great sculpt, great proportions, the best female figure in the entire line IMHO. 2. HOH B.A.T. Seriously gotta be one of the greatest army builders of all time (OF ALL TIME), with all the options that come in the package. 3. Low-Light. Totally, totally worth the wait. 'Nuff said. 4. Alley Viper - any version except Resolute, though version 13 is probably my top favorite. 5. Bench-Press, for being one of the few modern era new characters that, to me, could really have come from the classic era. 6. Agent Helix, just because I think she's a lot of fun. 7. I always liked Recondo, but the first ME version wasn't quite what I wanted for an update. Then Recondo took a level in badass for Pursuit of Cobra, and while the figure has its issues, I dig it regardless. 8. HOH Zartan. Took Hasbro a few tries to get him right, but they finally did. 9. Never been a huge Duke fan - I have a ton of Duke figures out of the sense that I should have them, not because I am particularly attached to the character. Then I got POC Duke, and for whatever reason, I finally have a Duke on the shelf that I really like, instead of out of obligation. 10. This won't be popular, but Monkey Wrench. Far from perfect, but a nice example of what kitbashing/parts swapping can accomplish. If it had been someone's custom rather than a store release, you gotta admit it would be fairly impressive. Honorable Mention: Destro. Disregarding the movie figures and that arctic...thing, there hasn't been an ME Destro I dislike. Special recognition to the cartoon version, the Target Exclusive and, of course, the Pimp Daddies.
