This is what pisses me off about hasbro. They puke out the same old crap that never selled to begin with with different colors. Could the Eco Warriors be at the 2009 convention. Scuse me while I barf!!!!!!!!

Agreed. Most of the molds have not been used by hasbro since 1993. It was a bold move by the club to give us something like the headhunters. While most people don't like the concept, I think we can agree the figures are good. I know I'm slightly biased since I'm a headhunter fan, but give me a break. It's way better than the 25th style repaints hasbro keeps pumping out.

Flatline THEY ARE NOT DOLLS!!!

The Colors Are'nt That Bad, And New Molds Are Most Likely Never Going To Be In The Con Set Period! They Will Always Be Repaints Imo. __________________ MY FLICKR PAGE......

Wasn't a fan then; nor now. I personally feel, D.E.F , Eco warriors, Star Brigade and Mega marines were the reasons the line stopped selling and Hasbro shut the line down.

ninja force should be first and foremost in this list. i also agree that i thought they sucked big time(but i wouldnt get them anyway as they cost to much for me). i have however liked the past sets. this year the colors were awful, and people talk about sci-fi... but destroying anything when you know without a doubt that some kid who has a hard time getting this stuff is just plain wrong and something i cannot agree with. actually, its pretty heartless. why did you buy them if you hated them so? and why didnt you give them to a salvation army or something?

but i guess i can look on the bright side... i thought i would be the most hated person on here because i have some beef with hama, next to you im probably a saint.
