    They are both cool. But I gotta say, nothing beats the fuzz head and the Kung Fu grip-classic!

      Fuzz head. They are more realistic.

        the painted heads have a more vintage feel to them

          Grew up with the fuzz heads, but I collected the painted heads now.

            I never knew the painted head Joes existed as a kid. I have most of the AT guys now and a few repro painted heads. Honestly though, it's AT all the way for me...Just need an AA Commander and a talking Astro and I'll have them all.

                Well you can get an all most exact repo of the AA talking commander from the GI-JOE collecter club which is as close as i'll proably ever get to having one

But I have more originals and repros of the fuzzheads.
                    Same here for me.. I remember seeing the commercials for the first fuzz heads, then my mom surprising me with a talking commander, when all I had before was a Captain Action.

                    All I had were 3 fuzz head as a kid, just prior to going Mego, but once I started collecting all the Joe stuff in the early 90s, I went more for the painted heads and their detailed outfits.. Like the first astronaut outfits, fighter pilot, etc..

                    Adventurers...? YES, I loved 'em, but production of cool items slid a bit during their tenure, compared to the 60s stuff, obviously due to the declining sales and production costs. The cool exceptions were the Mobile Support Vehicle, ATV and Helicopter..

                    So I basically like both types for different reasons. Luckily they all get along on my shelf at home.
