Taste preference maybe? Disappointment or high expectation that Tomy could have recreated the pvc/die-cast compound product like the early Bandai Jetfire? Hollow parts?
But we have to take into consideration the hollowed parts may have caused Muffin to go OT but based on an article I read about Aaron Archer when he was at Hasbro, the rising cost of plastics gave him headaches.....this factor probably contributed to a lot of shrinking and hollowing of recent TF products.
Ex-Gokin A-3 cost more, has die-cast, smaller and non transforming, quality almost like Bandai's SOC.....see the analogy?
Hasbro needs to earn regardless (btw, I ain't no shill for them). They have to contend with keeping prices low, safety concerns etc. 3rd party don't have to as their's is a focused collector market...the client don't/can't complain that much.
Now that oil costs around $80/barrel, maybe we'll see a resurgence of bigger, less hollow and cheaper TFs?
