I voted for all of them. Each have their flaws but each of them look great.

I went with new sculpt and 25th. I really don't consider the well sculpted original sculpt to be "RAH". For me RAH means melon headed freaky looking figures. Take any of those old figures and update them like the first comic packs and I'll take them any day. Stick an original Teli-Viper or even original Duke in a pack and I'll leave it on the shelf. But I'll take a lot of the later figures or comic packs with updated sculpting.

I'll go with RAH and 25th. I'm almost ready to dump my new sculpt stuff.

Well I kinda met my RAH collecting goals, so I'm primarily 25th now. Aside from displaying vehicles, most of my RAH will go into storage.

Same here, though I've already dumped 99% of my new-sculpt.

All of them bring some good stuff to the table. If I had to lose one though it would be the new sculpts. The 25th's have really taken the shine off of a lot of the new sculpt stuff. But there are still some new sculpts that I totally love, like Tele-Viper, VvV blue Viper, Blackout, Barrel Roll, Bomstrike, Battle helmet CC, VvV Storm Shadow, DTC Snow Serpent, DTC Range Viper, etc.

I'm replacing my RAH and JvC collections with the 25th figures, but still holding on to a few sentimental favorites (like the original '86 B.A.T.).

My old Joes and POTF2 Star Wars figures are boxed up and ready for future nieces and nephews or my own kids (which are hopefully a long, long ways off).

I didn't have alot of ARAH, but the ones I had, I got rid of except my fav's like all the SE, SS,and Wreckage & Firefly. New sculpts for the most part, go with my 25th Joes and it's just too expensive trying to collect all my childhood ARAH figures.

The "poison" depends on what use the figures end up serving.

For the fun of collecting and looking forward to new things, it's 25A because they're what the newest product is. If Hasbro were to release some NS figures again, like the upcoming Hulk figures, it would be those then.

For customizing figures, I've got to go with RAH. They don't have to be "disassembled" with a mallot and paint chipping is almost a moot point.

I think that once the shininess of the 25A figures wears off, collectors will start to see NS figures with a bit more respect (except the suckily proportioned ones). New collectors who never had a chance to find RAH or NS figures in retail will enjoy them.
