A LOT!...thats who...(i know, that makes no sense)
anyway, after reading comments like "the 25th line had to end, there are hardly any figures left to update" and "theres only 10 figures left that i want", i decided to see for myself just how many were left behind, and boy was i surprized...so i made a couple lists...some of them include redo's of figures Hasbro dropped the ball on...of the lists, i'd say roughly 100 figures would be quite popular based on names i always see dropped of figures fellas want... -figures that i desperately want updated -figures that aren't dire, but if produced, i'd spend my money on -figures that i wouldn't buy, but that i know others would and have been asking for -figures left on the table that i'm not sure whether anyone would buy... i numbered them so that it's easy to make your own list and do some simple math to figure out how many YOU really want and maybe forgot about... so here goes...in no particular order (neon free!) I DESPERATELY WANT 1. Steeler (redo) 2. Short-Fuze (redo) 3. Cover Girl 4. Grand Slam (red pads repaint) 5. Airtight 6. Frostbite 7. Footloose 8. Keel-Haul 9. Sgt. Slaughter (both versions) 10.

hasnt #95 been released already?
I want up to 1986 completed. There are only a few more from 87 that I want but I wouldnt mind that year not being completed. It would be real easy to finish 82-85. There are what, 9 figures total from those years that are missing. And for 86 tack on another 16 to go.

I count about 56 that I would get if the price were right. A lot of them are vehicle drivers which if they are packed with expensive vehicles than I wont get, especially the no names of 87. Id get keel haul if he came with a vehicle
I really want to complete up to 86, and get a few 87. Really for 87 I would want jinx, crazy legs, LAW and order, and techno viper. The rest I could do without.

You already bring up the issue as to why the ME/25A line has a somewhat limited shelf-life.
There are a fair number of collectors that don't want anything after '87 to be remade. That cuts down on sales for post-'87 remakes. There are a fair number of collectors that don't want any of the later sub groups (Eco-Warriors, Ninja Force, Star Brigade, etc...), that cuts down on sales of those figures. There are a lot of collectors that don't want any neon! That cuts down on the sales of those figures that have the neon colors on them. That's not even getting into folks that don't want anything to do with JvC/Spy Troops/VvV stuff, or god forbid Sigma 6. PLUS along the way Hasbro has to keep cycling those "core characters" in here and there, because that's what the retailers like. Basically it becomes a matter of diminishing returns. If you compare what they managed to already make in the 25A/ME line, I think it's pretty easy to surmise that at most there's another year (two at absolute most) of "high universal demand" figures. Remember, numbers-wise Hasbro cranked out about 6 years' worth of characters in what...two and a half years? It's reached a point where it's probably more economical for Hasbro to release further classic offerings in dribs and drabs over the next 5-10 years than trying to get it -all- out before the movie. The number of folks that genuinely want and would buy re-creations of the entire old ARAH line are pretty slim. Last edited by Jmacq1; 07-23-2009 at 11:57 AM.. |

The ones I want classic style are a short list. Do these and everything else can go ROC as far as I am concerned
- Cover Girl (call her Sparta and make her an international) - Airtight - Footloose - Lifeline - Lowlight |
