You know....I actually like them....they're unusual. I haven't bought any and don't plan to, but I do think they are one of the stand-outs.

Not EVERYTHING is bad......just most of it.

The one thing I forgot to mention is the Unleashed line of figures from Hasbro. I used to collect those and then got rid of them. For anyone who isn't familiar with these, you didn't play with these figures....you simply put them on the shelf and admired how much they looked and they looked NICE!!! They were very detailed and were downright beautiful. It was like having a mini-statue of the character and only cost a fraction of the price. The line was a really, really, really great thing. And then late last year or early this year, Hasbro said they were overhauling the line......and making it a 2 inch figure line. A 2 INCH FIGURE?!?!?!?!?! They were originally about 7 inches and now they were going to be 2?!?!?!?!?! I had one word for that.....BULLSHIT!!!

So, I am still a little burned about that cuz those figures were nice. It seems anything that is targeted at the older audience is getting thrown out the door. Those figures were clearly designed for older collectors.
