I don't see how there's more of a chance of Hasbro making a crappier figure.PrimeStriker wrote:orangeitis wrote:Hope Hasbro makes a better mold of him in the future. That sounds horrifying.
.....Have you not seen what Hasbro does to molds already made? Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Starscream, and (opinion may differ here) Cliffjumper all suffer from being worse than their original molds. Hasbro is more than likely to screw it up than fix it.
Hasbro isn't releasing Breakdown here, so it's a moot point, really. And Hasbro's toys are getting thinner and cheaper in terms of quality. No reason to be tooting Hasbro's horn. I bought FOC Jazz today and it feels like junk.
I wonder if Hasbro/TT is going to reserve the good plastic for MP figures from now on, leaving the standard releases lighter and more fragile. The issue with figures getting smaller is a problem across the board.
It's to early to jump to any conclusions, though it is a distressing trend. time will tell I supose.
