>>9174516I could be wrong and dumb, but I think with the possible exception of modern era stuff, absolutely everything that wasn't traditional O-ring would have done way better if they could have stuck to traditional O-ring with as few gimmicks as they can stand.
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I legit cried when I got the newsculpt Joes. Their legs didn't move as well anymore, a lot of their arms couldn't sit in a resting position, and they didn't look right next to the hundred-something figures I had gotten from my older brothers and the handful of "Collector's Edition" I got.
I don't think every problem would've been solved, but I just feel like moving away from the O-ring was a huge mistake that has never been fully rectified.
That era was meant for me, but I just wanted to go back in time to a vague memory of seeing an Alley-viper and Street Fighter Joes on the pegs.
