Exactly! Tons of folks are like “the original ones are betterrrr” but fail to realize that before the internet you can only get the ones at retail, thus making it necessary to remake figures.

The neon color's and weapons trees can be blamed on the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They were selling extremely well at the time ,they were bright and colorful, and came with weapons trees. Hasbro was trying to stay in step with Playmates. Extreme was very Turtle like.

also, I do appreciate the trees as they got us way more weapons per figure. Just compare the amount of accessories NF SS has versus NF SE. |

I hate quite a bit that they started using the same names, when they even changed their colour of hair! I mean, what's the point of calling LowLight v3 still Low Light, when he is absolutely nothing like the first? and not that Low Light was a main character like Duke or something. I suppose that they found that figures that were made upon a character already existing in comics and cartoons sold slightly better... or the creators of those media complained about having to create every year a new roster of characters. How about 10 years ago? And the Low-Light hair color thing is explained being that he's a night spotter and sniper, you'd want him to not stand out so much with bright blonde hair. People grow beards. It's not impossible or unheard of. Hell, even Clutch shaved his off when he was assigned to the Mega Marines. |
