More new characters.
They could have turned the new City Strike Firefly into a new agent for Cobra called "Goblin". One that took over after Wraith was killed. |

I wish that instead of giving us movie figures they would have concentrated on giving us more different versions of Duke.

wow..
Agree with most of these posts, strangely enough, I don't think it had the steam to keep rolling much longer. ROC gave us some cool updates and turds, like any line. Mean that I wouldn't have kept buying 25th's? Hell no. Bring on a Lowlight, Frostbite, Sci-Fi, or Bazooka Tiger Force, and I hand my cash to Hasbro eagerly. But the 25th stuff was shelf sitting, peg warming, and generally not moving. If we didn't have ROC, it would have bled into a full Resolute line in my opinion. Times change, we just gotta roll w/ the punches, sh#t talk the bad figs, and desperately seek out the rare ones. Also, Wraith never should have been in the 25th line, but that was a win. And I agree with the fact that a true 25th line should have been just the original 13, if in fact it were a true 25th anniversary line .

As much shit as ROC takes they were the best Joe figures ever. I would rather them continue with redesigns and slide the odd remake and Resolute figure in.

let's dissect the ridiculousness of your post. you say if I don't like it, don't read it. how the hell would I know I don't like it unless I read it to find out how ridiculous the argument being put forth is?

No wonder why I dislike posting and reading most of the threads. People like gunslinger are always there to tell you how stupid you are for such a thought. Not everyone believes that the 25th/ME line was horrible and there are quite a few characters that still need to be made. Also, a lot of people could say the same thing about ROC as they do with the 25th/ME thread. The ROC figures do not sell anymore and sit forever on the shelves. Hasbro is canceling later waves and moving back as well as restructuring the line. I can walk in right now and pick up multiple Desert Viper and Jungle Assault Ripcord figures on the Wal-Mart toy-shelves if I wanted to. They do not sell right now. At least in my area, they do not. That is a fact. They sit there with the same staleness which in turn reminds me of the Avatar and Star Trek stuff that does not sell. Another thing, the 25th/ME gave us a lot more characters rather than have every wave like Roc with Ripcord, Scarlett and Duke. I am just saying....
