As some of you know, I'm pretty new to ME Joes.
Frequenting Hisstank has definitely opened my eyes to how great some of these newer figures are, and with the rumored prospects of a a new 4" line in the works, I think I'm ready to pull the trigger and officially start collecting ME Joes (despite the outrageous prices). Of course, I really don't want 50+ Snake Eyes or Dukes in my collection, so I wondered what some of you considered to be the "best of the best" in regards to characters that now have 20+ versions, such as *Snake Eyes *Storm Shadow *Duke *Cobra Commander *Destro *Roadblock *Zartan *Firefly ...and anyone else I'm omitting. |

50th (2014) Beachhead is my Ultimate BH. I added the belt from the ROC ninja cycle SE to make him Concept vault accurate.

I look for vintage accuracy for my “definitive” version of characters, so with that in mind: Snake Eyes: I think a lot of people will say POC Snake a Eyes is their definitive version. It is a fantastic figure, so I totally get it. That said, it is a modernized version that only kinda looks like the vintage version. So for me, as silly as this will sound, there is no definitive ME version of Snake Eyes yet. So I guess V1 and V2 for me. Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander: Both my definitive versions are the Retaliation Ultimate versions. Duke, despite having so many figures, does not have a definitive ME version yet. So V1 is still my favorite. Destro, Gung-Ho, Leatherneck, Beachhead and Flint: 50th anniversary versions Firefly: Retaliation 3-pack version for me. Scarlett, Roadblock, Crimson Guard and Viper all need definitive ME versions in my opinion. Same with the rest of the Original 13. Maybe I’m just picky. That’s why I customize lol. OB

*Snake Eyes: v54. He’s very expensive, and was available both in 2010-11 and 2016
*Storm Shadow: v49 for Cobra, v50 for Joe *Duke: there is none really. Some good ones are v42 and v51 *Cobra Commander: v53 *Destro: there are no definitive Destro’s, the 25th ones are decent, and v29 is pretty good *Roadblock: v24 or v25 or the club Tiger Force (v26) *Zartan: v22 *Firefly:v26 |

Thanks dudes, a lot of excellent suggestions here.
Yeet, the V42 Duke is the Jungle Assault, If I'm not mistaken? That's the one I've had my eye on. He's definitely pretty far removed from his iconic look, but I'd say he hits the nail on the head in terms of an "updated" look that I've been yammering on about all over the 'tank. Almost has a "Predator" vibe to it. |

Love jungle duke, I have a few, now I'm looking for the other PoC Duke with the missile pack. PoC had several predator homages, great line all the way around.
