I would take your comment and change "O-Ring" to "Back Screw" and feel the same way.

At the end of the day it's not the construction style that has me on board with ME - I mean, I would want whichever style is the core to include certain essential articulation, but I don't care which style it is - it's the look and proportions that make the difference for me.

I loved ARAH as a kid. But it was kind of a shocker when I came back to Joes as an adult to see what those figures looked like years later, viewing them with adult eyes. My imagination made them something more than they were.

Today I just can't place an ARAH figure and ME figure side by side and pretend that I am satisfied with the look of production ARAH figure.

Id be fine with that too. This week I attempted to disassemble a PoC Jungle Duke for a project and ended up ruining the torso. I do not have a replacement, and now a project I really wanted to complete is on hold. All I wanted to do was swap the arms, and it's frustrating that I can't just do that.
