hasbro, make it easy for us to customize our figures again. the 25th figures look beautiful. but rather than damaging them during customizing. give us the o-rings and back screws again.

I'm an o-ring fan, I'll buy the Hulk figures just for a taste of my old o-ring friends. But it's time to move on. Hasbro ditched it in 1994, 2000, & 2007 - lets give it a rest. At least for the first time the replacement looks good.

I mean we could debate the return of derigibles, LP records, and low gas mileage muscle cars - they were all great inventions that are no longer practical.

Time to move.

No. Absolutely NOT!

As much as I love the older figures, the 25th are the best Joes EVER. And they're just as customizable if you're willing to learn how to take the torso apart.

While I wouldn't stop buying, I'd be highly disappointed if they went back to the old style.

LONG LIVE THE 25th STYLE FIGURES!!!

NO! I think the new figures have better proportions, because they don't have to make room for the O ring. The articulation hasn't suffered, and you don't have to worry about some piece of rubber spontaneously self destructing.

I just want the screw, not the o-ring. The remaining stubs of my fingers will thank you.

The original O-ring figures are legendary, but the 25th are the inevitable upgrade. No longer will the figs need to be held together with a rubberband.

The figures look better and the articulation is better.

Ok, ok, the screw would make it easier to disassemble.

I'm onboard with the "at least bring back the screw" approach. There is no reason why Hasbro couldn't make this figures unscrew. That's just someone being self-important by changing something sacred to the figures simply for the sake of changing it.

When Hasbro originally dumped the o-ring for the very first NS figures, I was one of the few people that didn't mind. They still unscrew, and the range of motion wasn't really that impacted. I was happy, but I was constantly told how blasphemous it was to not have an o-ring.

Now, with no o-rings but a few more points of articulation, people don't care. Go figure.

I'd like to see the mid-torso articulation point go away, too. It won't happen, but it's very unasthetic to me.

As I've harped about before, I also see the changed backback hole and footpeg sizes as completely unnecessary.

I think what we really need isn't the O-ring or the backscrew, but WAIST ARTICULATION. Something easy to pop off, like Bbi/21st's or Showdown's. If they could make a ball joint for the head that's stable and yet relatively easy to pop off when needed, I think they could do it with the waist.

Yeah! Let's bring back the O-Ring!!! And while we're at it, the Beta, the 8Track, and the Black and white television set!

O-ring back? You're kidding right? I mean, have you seen the new figures? They are a thing of beauty and it takes skill and a hammer to take them apart. I love it.

Y almost put yes... but we only need a little screw to an easy customize...it doesnt matter if the figure has a Rubber or a little stick inside...

I'm all for bringing back the screw. But, I think think they should make it a torx head, just to mess with people.
