Off the lanard topic (lol yeah right) but on the subject of crap toy design. I got that kid connection helicopter set from walmart. I saw the vehicles and was like ok thats not bad. When I took it out of the box all the vehicles are about 2 inches wide. They look like the batmissile from batman returns. After looking at it they did this for the clamps that attach the tow lines to the helicopter would fit easily. Looks ridiculous.

lol So true! The 'Nard has the worst toy design nowadays. It may look good in the box, but once you remove it you'll find only the "presentation" side of the fucking thing is finished, and/or it's ridiculously narrow as you said. Seriously, it's like they make only half a toy. It's a sneaky shit scam. Another good example of bad design is The Beast. Not only is it half-finished, it's amazing they can make something so big on the outside, but with the tiniest of actual "play" areas. That takes some real talent for not giving a shit.

I'm not that well versed in everything Lanard, but isn't that Cyber Gorilla the same ape from a couple of years ago with maybe a different head? Looks like Lanard is trying to have it's own monkey version of O face Duke with this one. I'll be passing as well.
If we are mostly getting retread stuff, I'm hoping we are going get some of the early 2000's and before vehicles that were decent.

Yes all new head, not reused. If I might compare it's the same as the hiss guns getting changed for the toys r us sets in principle. In that instance hasbo kept the hiss body but gave it rail guns.
For the cyborg gorilla the body was kept and a new head was sculpted. For more info on all CORPS!

Another example is the little Fang knock off that's been around for years. We had a few that we cut the big guns and ball mounts off the front and painted them up like Fangs...they looked great. Later on, I found what must have been a newer release of it in package at a random junk store for $2. Got home and opened it to find the damn thing no longer has the landing skids, just some really tiny molded on wheels that look ridiculous...and just like you mentioned, the package was intentionally designed in such a way that the new shitty landing gear wasn't noticeable. I laughed at that one though. I can get cutting costs, but sometimes it's like they are putting that money they are saving back into more creative ways to deceive the buyer. Like those Flat Stanleys they pack in with vehicle sets. Some sweet old grandmas with trifocals think they are buying Timmy a vehicle & included figure and instead get a cardboard cutout of one.
