So I just got my first 15th anniversary toys (A trouble bubble and the boat with Torpedo) since 1997 and noticed something interesting:
http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/97/fli...ded_back.shtml These two toys were released under the KENNER name. In the fine print it says Hasbro, but the Kenner logo is on the card in place of the Hasbro logo. Never knew this. I know Habro owned Kenner at the time, but this is kind of baffling. It appears this was only done in the 1997-1998 15th anniversary line. Can anyone shed some light on why Hasbro did this?

I believe Kenner was making the toys I think. I have all of the 15th toys the plastic is extremely crapy the figures feel like they would crumble in your hands and the paint was bad on some of the figures

I still have one ^
The Star and Stripes set was the worst those figures were so bad The only good thing about the 15th is the very nice box artwork |

They've came along way in 12 years. 25th construction, paint aps, removable web gear, easily swappable heads, durability was so great! I hope they keep the new body construction. A variety of characters would be nice though.

I had the A-10 thing and was appaled at how poor the quality was. Really was aweful. I opened up the flight pod and it was the same stroy, really shitty plastic and terrible paint/stickers. I did get the raft that comes with Torpedo, and I REALLY like the Torpedo figure. Even his knees have the red paint stripe. Really sharp!
