>>10115914TMNT was the most successful. He-Man was close, in terms of being a slightly darker and more serious redo of a classic, and overall being a step up from the original. Valor vs. Venom was strange. It never became a full show, for the toys Hasbro actually went smaller. Hasbro and their licensees have done so many different scales with GI Joe but I think the only ones that really matter in the long run will always be 1/18, 1/12, and 1/6 (sorry Super7).
Sigma6 was also around that time. It was a kind of drastic departure from classic GI Joe and went full anime, but it wasn't bad. The toys were an extension of the Valor vs. Venom scale until they finally came out with the awesome chunky boys. My first reaction when I saw an 8" Sigma 6 figure was that it looked ridiculous, but then when I actually looked closer my sense of childhood wonder reignited. It was like the wild west of toy design, because huge oversized weapons with action gimmicks felt right at home with the chunky boys, who themselves were super posable and could easily stand on their own while holding their giant weapons. For my little cousins those were their first GI Joes and they loved 'em, and they were great figures to learn custom figure making on since they were big and easy to match styles with.
Also, part of the packaging was a footlocker for holding all the figure's accessories, that you snapped together once you opened the figure up. They were overall an amazing value line.
