I think me liking him had something to do with his blatant disregard for the environment.
At any rate, the eco warriors line was great. It's Star Brigade that has my scorn.

Spring loaded missiles wouldn't be so bad, if they were made to scale. Unfortunately, modern toy laws require that projectiles be large enough to firmly lodge in a child's windpipe.

So don't put the crappy spring loaded weapons on the things it ruins.
Hasbro has said that in their test, children liked the spring loaded weapons, so to please everyone, they decided to include spring loaded weapons along with the same accessories these figures would have gotten if there were no spring loaded weapons. Basically the weapons everybody are complaining about are bonus weapons Hasbro just needs to be a little smarter on how they use the spring loaded crap. For what I've seen, the new armadillo coming out is an example of Hasbro playing it smart. Take off the missiles, you still have the classic vehicle without some modification that makes it ugly. And it really saddens me when they build into the vehicle the spring crapies. Really really ruins it for me.//////

I just don't like the fact that it is a waste of plastic, which is becoming a short commodity because it contains petroleum oil. Hasbro isn't even including stands with their Marvel Universe figs, which they are selling for 8.99! They should just leave the spring loaded weapons to the larger "Action Battlers" like they did for the Star Wars line. If the kids want play action, they should just stick to those.
