I can tell user names apart. You're playing devil's advocate for a person who's argument has no merits in reality.

It's one thing to argue that the RiD Warrior figures aren't as complex as older figures, but saying that in defense of someone who's arguing they're "worse" than Rescue Bots is a waste of energy.

 

I was interested, but not anymore.

 

Holy god these look awful. Rescue bots are awesome super complex compared to these turds.

If the limbs were at least as complex as legends figures and they knew how to transform their own stuff, it might not look so bad.

 

That is a fair point. I wasn't considering that his main point is that they were worst than rescue bots, nor do I agree with it. It was more in regards to their price point in comparison to the older figures in the same class.

Should have been more clear on that, but one gets lazy typing on mobile.

 

Exactly. Bang on. Correct.

You guys need to look at these from a smaller point of view. No, smaller. No. Think about someone who's less than 4' tall.

I had my doubts about the RID Crash Combiners, but they are pretty fun in-hand. They don't have a ton of articulation... so what? Neither did a lot of G1 toys. They actually combine well, and they're quick and fun to transform. So yes, 5 yr olds DO like these - I can vouch for that. (I can't say that 5 yr olds would buy these over a Batman toy...   But that's a Hasbro problem with making a decent media to get kids hooked!  ).

The articulation on this RID Menasor (and his bricky limbs) does look kind of bad... but it might still be an excellent toy, simply cause it'll be quick and easy to transform. And unlike most 1-step garbage, this guy can actually combine (so the 1-step looking limbs have an excuse for being kind of lame).

I think the point IS the "b*tching". A lot of these people are actual customers - when your customers complain, you usually listen; you guys are just laughing and insulting them for not liking your (Hasbro's) product. I mean, I assume your indignant tone toward criticism is because you guys work for Hasbro. Why else would you argue about someone's right to complain when they don't like something? Are they ruining your sundae or something? (My advice is to enjoy whatever weird flavor and not worry about other people's opinions about your ice cream!   ).

Even if these were intended for an exclusively under-10 demographic, I think adult opinions on these matter:
1) The parents buy the toys, not the kids (so adult appeal is actually important)
2) Adults buy a lot of RID product for themselves, not just for their kids
3) Complaints are a great way to get product feedback (provided they're a little constructive and not just moaning)

On the other hand, the most worthless comment on a board is one which simply derides another comment for being negative. Because all negativity is bad. Fine. If negativity (i.e. complaining) is universally immoral, please explain how to properly judge a product whilst only using POSITIVE comments? Oh, I know! You get hired by Hasbro's marketing team!  

 

Hooold on there, Bilge Stinkwater(go watch the movie again...)
When you do that, hold a Generations/Combiner Wars/Titans Returns figure next to it... heh heh heh.
