Scathing Review for Hasbro 25th prime

[SilverDragon]

After this its very hard to argue that Hasbro takes pride in its releases. However what I don't understand is the obsession which bright fluro type colors. Why does Hasbro Prime need to be always that Pinkish red? The DVD MP Prime had that color too. I can't believe that this color would be any cheaper than the traditional red so its just a stupid decision.

Simple: Bright colours attract kids. Kids are who Hasbro usually wants for customers.

But that logic isn't really applicable to this, which is very much aimed at adult collectors rather than the younger audience.

I finally saw this toy in person today, and it doesn't look as bad as everybody is making out. You'll all live.

Although I havn't seen it in person, going from the pictures, it's not that bad. I agree, people will live. It's still red to me, I don't see the pink. Sure the trailer could be darker, but meh. I still won't get it due to it being so neutered, and the fact I already own the commemorative version, and thus see the more value in getting the encore version over hasbro versions.

But the worst part of the whole review at the start of the thread is that at least they get the nicer packaged version with the dvd that looks great in box. We get stooged with a flat side packed version that sucks in comparison for even keeping it misb on display.

No, brand/character recognition is what attracts kids. I remember we used to have a whole crapload of dark coloured and realistically coloured toys as kids and they sold just fine.
