Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

Makes one wonder ei? Do they want to sell their toys or not? If they really want to waste plastic or come up with figures that are gonna fly off the shelves? Whose responsible for giving this waste of materials a go? Mebbe griffin can ask these questions on the upcoming Botcon Hasbro panel... toned down of course coz they might throw you out the hall bossbot if they are asked in such brutally honest way. But yeah that will be my entry questions if you ever need some. Coz really for them to waste effort, investment on such outright meh items ( and were talking worldwide production numbers here) ....WHY? Surely there are more figures that can be released but they decide not to and they give us reasons which to fanboys of course would not be acceptable or logical - like a proper Arcee figure for years, or that time they didn't even consider making even a prototype constructicon/ Omega figure for Animated series. Now they come up with these gargantuan plastic crap? What's their logic in producing crap that will surely shelfwarm... if they wanna throw money away then just donate it to charity, that's more useful than these figures will ever be.All the extensive focus group testing & they came up with this?

It's almost like they're aimed at children who like the characters but not necessarily the transformations or something...

In Target today I saw the Hasbro's 12" Titan Captain America toys which look a world better than their TF versions. Cap seems to have the same sort of poseability, but the molded and painted detail is really well done.

What kind of kid would like that? That's like wanting a toy car which doesn't have rolling wheels. Yep... can't wait for these toys to hit local shelves and keep 'em toasty warm.

Perhaps a two or three year-old who is a little young for the transforming figures, quite rough? or just have grandparents who are a bit clueless? KK gifts with a cheap price limit?What kind of kid would like that? That's like wanting a toy car which doesn't have rolling wheels.

Too many adults in this fandom forget it's not really aimed at them, and not every product in the line needs to meet their (often ridiculous) quality standards. Should they have more detail? Probably. Will I ever buy one? hell no, I'm not really a fan. Do I think they're in anyway aimed at the over 5's? Not at all.
Of course if the RRP ends up being high, I'll be surprised but be proven wrong.
