I completely agree.
I think that's the thing that a lot of people lose sight of when they down-talk the "haters" of the new vehicles. The older stuff actually looked like plausible military vehicles. The missiles and guns were in scale with the rest of the vehicle, and the vehicles actually had some detail. Most of the new vehicles we have seen (from Spy-Troops on up) don't even look realistic. They are just big solid chunks of plastic, with over-sized guns and missiles, and zero attention to detail.
If they had actually tried to make this look like the image from the movie, it had some potential to be cool. Make the ski smaller, put small missile racks on the side, and make the guns more in proportion with the vehicle...along with a little bit of detail (engine covers and whatnot), and this could've been a winner.
