2002.
OK, I only like the old ARAH sculpt figures and I am curious which of those you like best so I only picked them ARAH figures for this poll. I'm almost done with the figures in all the years, next are the teams followed by the vehicles.
I'm not planning to make polls for any other Joes like new sculpt, Sigma 6 or 25th Anni so if people want polls for them, feel free to do so! I won't!
Convention figures are not in.
Let everyone know what figure you like best (and please explain why)!

I like that gray Dusty w/ Dial-Tone torso. I use the Sure Fire v2 head for some LBCs and his weapon assortment is also nice. But overall, I really like Mirage v2.

Eventhough it's a very common figure thanks to the Viper army builders, this was a really nice upgrade. I don't see the Mega Marine version often anyway, but the mold benefited from this repaint, so v2 is nice to have around. The now-removable visor is a nice touch.

Thanks for sticking to ARAH, really. Do you plan to do polls for the special TRU sets?

I voted for Sure Fire. He was essentially a new character with a very nice new headsculpt.

Close seconds would've been the light blue-grey jacketed Big Ben, whom I thought was very impressive, and the Rock&Roll/FLINT figure that came with the HQ. Nice color scheme.

I went with Sidetrack. This was the first version I'd had of this mold, and I thought it was impressive. Plus, he came packed with tons of functional accessories.

2002 Sure Fire had a Shockwave V3 head with blonde hair. 2001 Sure Fire had a new headsculpt.

I had to go with the V3 Mirage figure. I like him better than the V2, but it's close. The Dial Tone is a very close second. But, Mirage wins since he's so much better than his original colors while the Dial Tone is only a marginal upgrade.

Lifeline gets my vote. At that point I was bored of the character. When other colelctors were trying to snag a minty mint version 1 I fell in love with thsi version of the character. The five o'clock shadow makes him look like he's been working the triage line and is several hours way over due for sleep but he keeps pressing on. He isn't all that different from his Battle Corps figure but the new head sculpt and black vest make a huge difference for me.

Sidetrack v2 is one of the best repaints ever! Truly showed off how good that Battle corps stalker mold was. Good Accessories to boot!

Lifeline got the number two nod and Shippy in third

OOPS. You're entirely correct. How embarrassing.

Nevertheless, I think I still probably would've voted for Sure Fire. Even though it was just essentially a recolor of the DEF Shockwave, it was such an extensive recolor from either the original Shockwave or the original Sure Fire that it's almost hard to tell.

Thanks for catching that, though. I should've been paying better attention.

Yep!

General Tomahawk!
Far more better than the 2000 one. Decent colours, high-ranking officer, yet still this battlefield look.
Mirage V2 would be number two. Best version of him. Also decently coloured. Not those vague paintjobs.....
