Saw them in person yesterday and can't say my opinion of them has improved all that much. But I am considering the purchase of that War Machine flip-former, simply for the novelty of it and the fact that they worked in the shoulder-mounted Gatling gun into the alt mode by having it simply strapped to the top of the jet.

ALso saw the new USM figures, which I think are worse than the IMA figures.

What started in '77 with Star Wars ends here with the same low quality, non-articulated garbage.

A wee bit dramatic, don't you think? Less articulation in a couple of toy lines from one manufacturer does not mean the death of the format itself. Star Wars actually increased the amount of articulation over the last few years (for some figures, anyway) and G.I.Joe is still the 3.75" king.
