Of that list I think the only toy I like is Classics Grimlock. He's a really fun toy and unmistakingly Grimlock. His only crime? Not being G1 enough. And being way too small, but that's something you can levy against a LOT of older Classics figures. You can have the entire main Decepticon cast at a too-small scale. Which I do.
Of the popular toys that are disliked on that list, I really dislike the Universe Prowl mould. Most versions of the mold has tacky, dirty paint, the legs have a weird range of motion that you have to find a sweet spot to get standing well, and those doors just pop off all the time. Was it really well liked?
But I do think saying "it's too G1, and G1 had a bad design" is about as unfair as saying "it's bad because it isn't G1". I feel like the toy itself has to have a fatal flaw that's inherent to it's design.
I don't like the TR Blaster either, but not because it's too G1, but because I think the Boom Box mode is oddly proportioned, my dislike for the "tapes" he's supposed to use, and that he's just too tall for my liking (the G1 Blaster toy is also too tall IMO).
