"MOTU ORIGINS VS GIJOE CLASSIFIED, WHO'S WINNING?" According To A.I.

Image
+7 Based on available collector discussions and market observations up to 2025–2026, MOTU Origins generally maintains a very high volume of sales due to its broader, nostalgic appeal and lower price point, while G.I. Joe Classified is considered a highly successful, fast-selling modern line that often sells out of pre-orders.  Reddit Reddit  +4 MOTU Origins Sales Trends: Origins figures are described as selling out quickly, especially early on, with high demand for the vintage-inspired 5.5-inch style.

With the Sun-Man ROTS line, you either hated it or loved it. I think it's quite obvious what side of the fence I sit on.
