Yeah, I don't like the whole "opening experience is worth 9.00 but you will get a one dollar figure" trend. The treasure X and ready robots have the same problems. Why can't they make a pure rubber figure line, not squishy, not designed by anyone at moose,and not more than like a buck or two? With crazy designs that don't have to have a consistent "look" or marketable back story to go with them? Bah humbug.
I do like the look of some of those beaker creatures, though.

I will pass on Beaker Creatures.
How come nearly every line like this that comes out attempts to make their creatures all cute?
What happened to hideously ugly toys?
Perhaps I am just too old fashioned.

Style is what I miss. Cute or ugly toys are great, but when they all start to look the same regardless of subject matter or brand... there are days where I'd rather eat my own hair than walk down a toy isle.

I mean, if something is selling, it will be emulated. Look at the MUSCLE boom ofmthe late 80’s, and all of the knockoffs that resulted in.
Fair point, though the pickings seemed to be larger then. More toy stores in competition anyway - bigger pool of items to choose from. Lots of knockoffs for sure, but a lot of little odds and ends that stood out on their own. Between KB Toys, Toys R Us, Service Merchandise, and K Mart for example, there were always plenty to find.
