ME is short for Modern Era. It labels the figures made from 2007-2019. I have proposed that ME should not include the 25th or ROC figures as those 2 lines have dated parts.
POC, 30th, Ren., Ret., 50th lines have parts that are more realistic with better proportions. Just compare a 25th Cobra Trooper to a POC Cobra Trooper to see the difference. I think 25th should label the 25th and ROC lines, and Modern Era should label anything after. |

I feel the same. 25th brought me back into joes and toys in general.

If I'm not mistaken, some of the figures released in the Retro line have been 25th.

That's why this Retro line is so frustrating. There are parts out there to update these figures, but they got lazy and went with some terrible choices. The worst decision was giving us another O-face Duke. Check out the Put up your Dukes thread to see some great customs of Duke. They can shrink down the Classified RB head to give us a Retro RB that doesn't look like RB, but they can't shrink down a Classified Baroness head to replace the 2009 25th Baroness head, which is pretty dated now. Shoot, now I'm getting a little agitated ... Deep Breath ... I'm glad we are getting more ME figures with this line.

I'm hesitant to wish list too much while 3.75" is still retailer exclusive. Hopefully in 2022 the line breaks open more and becomes the dependable retail staple it was in decades past.
It was so much fun to grab a few troopers one week, and a vehicle the next, and not feel pressured into purchases. The whole reboot has been loopy. Probably would have made more sense to do the Operation Blackout designs as 3.75" and kick off Classified with 6" figures based on the 80's card art. The Fortnite Snake Eyes would have been fine as the one 6" video game figure for now. I think all the mistakes made so far merit finding a new brand manager. One who can grow new fans with 6", build on the tremendous 3.75" foundation, and maybe even revive the O ring and screw era by making a new Battle Corps line that focuses heavily on figure customization. The community is big enough to support three retail lines doing their own thing. We just need the right architect. |

[QUOTE=sbartek1974;5379384]I want to know who approved his idea. Who said, Yes! This is what we need! Make him into a figure.[/QUOTE.
In what world would you think this figure for Gi Joe makes sense. Yeah who approved this! I guess thats the real question. Who? |
