I just realized something:

OP, it sounds as though you're actually after modern updates in a similar vein to how 25th was, and not o-ring- am I (re)reading that correctly? At first I thought you meant the current Retro o-ring line, but upon looking again, I'm not so sure.

if that's the case, many of the figures you're after are actually available in figure form "thanks" to the Collector's Club... though if you want those, be prepared to sell a kidney to finance them.

I'll take new figures in either the 25th-Ann. style (no o-ring) or the Retro o-ring style - as long as they're 3.75".

I'm familiar with the Collector's club figures, but have 0 interest in them. I remember when they were coming out & they were both expensive & a very difficult to get ahold of.

My reason for mentioning the 25th Ann. line is that this was purely sold @ retail, which I prefer. I did have good luck getting many of these figures/vehicles, as well as most of the most recent Retro line (Wal-mart exclusive).

Obviously, I wouldn't say no to a Terrordrome, but that's more of a Haslab thing.

Agreed. It's disappointing that the 6" Classified ARAH line is getting all of the attention these days, and the 3.75" line is virtually ignored. Other than the short-lived Retro line (which didn't have much of a selection), there hasn't been much of a recent 3.75" line to actually collect...I don't count 1/2 figures coming out as online exclusives, either.

Yes, the Classified figures look amazing. However, they are impossible to track down in stores, and are very expensive online. Also, it's unlikely that the 6" line will ever produce as many vehicles/sets as the 3.75" line due to the prohibitive cost(s) & the much larger size.

Primarily I want MOC's so itll be interesting to see what they do with the packaging. Because of the packaging change, 2023 will likely be loose figures for me, which is a shame, but ill take them.
I hope they do a few vehicles cos Ill happily display the vehicles loose with the packaging.
But also I might not buy everything anyway cos I wont have the space.
