What do you think of toys now compared to earlier toys from the past?

Ive noticed a lot more of these mystery / surprise toys where you dont know which figure you are buying. They dont do much either just a plastic lump. No articulation or anything. Id say the fun factor of play and what the toy can actually do has decreased. This is in terms overall across the toy aisle as there are a couple of toys that are very interactive but cost alot.
