It's so nice after this drought to stare down at the new figures I have attained via the Retaliation Movie line. Most of us waited and waited while the 7 month drought of Joes never seemed to end. Finally, Joes started coming back to major stores and all of us plastic crack heads were back in business. With this said, I must say that although Hasbro brought some new sculpts and fan favorites back for the movie figure release, I almost feel like they contracts Lanard to make their vehicles and figures.
Even the crappy ROC vehicles that only found sales at Ross/Marhsalls, etc...had articulated drivers and somewhat matched what we saw on screen. I know that people are tired of Hasbro bashing, and I commend them on some of the figures that they brought out for Retaliation. I do however, feel that Hasbro cut corners, missed the mark and blatantly released substandard vehicles to back up the figure line. After seeing some reviews of the vehicles and their fragile construction, horrible paint schemes, and non-articulated drivers I feel like Hasbro slapped us all in the face.
As much as I hope the line does well to support future releases, I really hope that Hasbro takes it in the ass in sales for these horrible vehicles. I know some of you feel the same and I hope that those Tankers that make it to JoeCon let the Hasbro people know how a lot of us feel.
