Because I fucking hate Skylanders and would capitalize on kids wanting it. It propogates whats wrong with the toy industry right now. Kids want videogame interaction with their toys and hate using their imagination with things like Marvel Universe, or GIJoe so companies have to cater to kids with gameplay stuff like its magic the gathering.

Example, the Spiderman line(Before Amazing) had those inferred card games thing, Super Hero Showdown had those rocketlauncher and game stands, Star Wars none Vintage stuff has those dice and such.

Kids need to use their fucking Imagination and turn off the Xbox for a while. When I was a kid, I had Super Nintendo, and that did not stop me from turning my GIJoes into Megaman characters and playing with them outside in my Treefort with my Best Friend from around the Block!

thats my rant and I'm sticking to it

True that! When I was a kid my cousins and I played the shit out of some video games and still collected and played with several action figure lines.

I liked the idea of the Fury Files but it never really went anywhere. And obviously like most things in the MU line it was dropped.

I think when you take the focus off of the action figures and try and use some gimmick like the crap you mentioned , it cheapens the experience. Kids loose interest and make associations with other card or video games that are much better. Leaving a stale taste. Plus usually these lame additions come at a price to the quality of the figures. Just make a cool line and stop with the gimmicks.
