Now everything has gone back to spring loaded weapons in the movie range at least which is overkill and also what I didn't like about the Battle Corps and Star Brigade ranges.

I don't dislike the huge weapons per se, but I dislike that having ALL charas with huge weapons downplays the really strong charas like :roadblock: and Heavy Duty (more about this in My 3 3/4'' collection thread ;-) )

I was shocked when I saw the retail price for the new movie figures.
It was the neon colours I didn't like with the battle corps line.

Gung Ho wasn't bad and neither were Keel Haul and Admiral Flagg but yeah other schemes were bad.

I don't remember the sub series from Cobra of Troopers who are compensating for something line. Must of been as successful as the Eco Warriors line.
