Quit being such a Grinch. These are cute toys. And Hasbro wasted MOUNTAINS of plastic on crap like this in the 80s.

If I was a kid that wanted cute, I would ask for a puppy, not a toy robot. Do you really think 5 year olds want This crap ? I think not. They want the cool Prime that their older brother has. All this cute crap ends up warming the shelves. Rescue bots, robot heroes, bot shots, mighty muggs and constructobots were all epic failures that took walmart months to clean their shelves. If something "cute" is what tickles your pickle, then more power to you. I never owned a mr. Potato Head in my life. My folks bought me big boys toys.

I feel sorry for you. That's sad. It's also sad that you think there's something wrong with kids enjoying cute toys.

Honestly, I've never owned one either.
However, I'm not going to state that kids simply do not like these kinds of toys. Because that's not a fact. Rather, that's an ignorant and pathetic method of delivering a reason why you don't like something that wasn't made for you in the first place.

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” -- C.S. Lewis

But what you need to understand is your opinion does NOT equal fact.
People are getting sick and tired of you Rated X, not because you're speaking your mind, but because you're constantly negative and you feel the need to run down anyone who disagrees with you.
Face facts, people like stuff you don't.
Now kindly stop dragging this thread off-topic.

Sadly, though, it's only going to get worse as Hasbro's making a ton-load more of them for AOE.
What's more is that the Transformers aren't the only toylines that have these kinds of figures. Both Star Wars and Power Rangers (a non-Hasbro line, no less) have these same giant-sized, barely articulated, cheap plastic figures of Darth Vader and the Red Megaforce Ranger, respectively. Transformers having them seems to just be following a current trend.Va'al wrote:Sabrblade wrote:To shed some light, the "shampoo bottle-esque" figures are Titan Heroes, and yeah those things are terrible.

I care not for your facts, I am in nerdenial.
They even fail at being useful as shampoo bottles. Seriously Hasb-Bay.
