These are just...off. They should have probably done something fresh inspired by the vintage style instead of just adding articulation to the vintage figures. Or at least maybe instituted the articulation changes to a new body design.

I’m by no means a GI Joe historian, but this reminds me of the GI Joes of the late 90s/early 2000s, right before they tried something new (but similar to the classic style) with the Spy Troops and Valor vs Venom lines, which ultimately led to the 25th Joes. That’s funny in itself because the 25th Anniversary line really kickstarted the trend of modernizing classic toys, and seems to have partly inspired MOTU Classics. Now MOTU is going backwards. I honestly think they’d be better suited trying something like the MOTU 2k line again, or hyper-realistic takes a la Mythic Legions or something.
