I don't see the reason why.. these are Voyager and Deluxe sized figures combined. Awfully inexpensive.
Um. Wait a second, what?
These are Scouts with Mini-Con partners.
Because of that, they'll be inexpensive (we think), but something will come along and make them more money.
I think the theme packs would be a double edged sword.
On the one hand, it'll give each main robot a set to combine with (aside from the countless combinations that can be made as is).
On the other hand, I'm not sure they'll all sell as well as hoped, and we'll see a lot of pegwarming out of the Scout/Mini-Con packs and shelfwarming out of the boxsets once the inital awe has worn off. Plus, the fact that the drones do absolutely nothing but create UGLY limbs, won't help sell either.
Power Core Combiners will work with some kids, most likely find an audience with collectors, but in general, I don't think it's going to find as much of an audience as people think.
Not unless they start making those limbs more like what we're used to.
As much as it pains me to say this... if they were to G1-ify some of these sets and make 'em look like their G1 counterparts, I'd be interested in buying.
And I don't see why Hasbro couldn't do it. We could have a new Menasor and Defensor, and if they looked like a downsized version of the originals, with Mini-Cons in tow, I know a huge number of fans would buy into that. Why Hasbro didn't go that direction with these guys is beyond me.
Blargh.
