Here we go with the first three polls of the post-ARAH era! Now, I'm waaaaaay beyond collecting G.I. Joe, at this point (although I was collecting the Power of the Force Star Wars figures... big mistake), so I don't know anything about any of these next few years. From what I can tell, this is, essentially, a 15th anniversary of the ARAH era line, so there's a lot of reuse from that era.
For this first poll, based on look alone, I'm going with Storm Shadow. When in doubt, always select my favourite character.

Paint wipes were such a stupid idea.
Voted Baroness. I like the blue outfit. |

This is where I got back into Joe after a decade away. It's far from my favorite era, but the nostalgia of returning to the brand is strong.
It's also a weird time for me because I had no idea they were reusing tooling from after I got out, so many of the designs seemed new and exciting to me. On that note, Destro is my pick because it was such a logical and eye-catching update. |

That '84 Storm Shadow with the Ninja Force paint scheme, combined with his original weapons, is a slam dunk. If they were going to repaint instead of a straight rerelease, this was a textbook way to go.
Having voted in all three of these '97 polls, I feel like we should have one of the figures we DIDN'T get (V1 Cobra Commander repaint, V2 Snake Eyes repaint, etc). A new Clutch would have been nice, Red Laser made the proposed Rock n' Roll (with a different head) and Black Major produced that Snake Eyes. |

Baroness (v2) Before we had 100 Baronesses, this was special.
Blizzard (v2) It's FROSTBITE...funny the mold was never reused after this. Cobra Commander (v8) if they had the original accessories and hadn't removed he helmet peg, this coulda been cool. Destro (v5) Destro in burgundy? WHY? I never liked the 1992 mold, either. Iceberg (v3) He deserved better than this, but this mold also disappears after this. Those rolled up sleeves on a long sleeve jacket. Really, Chinese Factory? Lady Jaye (v2) The all black makes her boring. Deserved a more interesting recolor. Snake Eyes (v8) Was supposed to be V2 but...that Roadblock waist. BLEEEECCCCH! Snow Job (v2) Not terrible, but them rolled up sleeve shoulders! Storm Shadow (v5) Got you with the exploded ink pen gag, Tommy! Again, needed a better repaint than this. Baroness for me. |

Incidentally, I was just moving some of the '97s up a shelf (further from eye-level) the other night, and was struck by the fact that Baroness alone in that year is a figure I'd consider almost great (the Viper is held back by the BAT legs and shit QC). Baroness it is.
