Man, with the recent ToyFair reveals, I'm more tempted than ever to return to buying Transformers. Yet just a cursory look at the Feedback and Toy Discussion sections of TFW have revealed that Hasbro plastic quality, production values and quality control are still rather poor. Figures are still made of cheap, poor plastic, there are still lots of loose joints and overall toys apparently still feel rather flimsy.
It sucks because there are some really cool Transformers coming soon, and I'm really tempted to buy a few of them. I'm just so wary because I don't want to be disappointed.
At least in our Bandai of Japan DX toys, it's just an issue of aesthetic preferences. You either like or don't like a design. In Transformers (and many other modern Western figures), a good design isn't enough to buy a toy because you never know when cheap production values screws up what could be a great toy.
I'm still looking forward to that lovely Metroplex though.
Here's hoping they use plastic that's at least as durable as Super Sentai's DX mecha.
What do you guys think?
