I remember being a kid and having all the different colorations of cobra vipers … whenever my parents would comment that it’s the same toy, just different colors, I’d point out they bought me Starscream, skywarp, and thundercracker, ironhide & ratchet, prowl, and bluestreak with no problem… they really couldn’t argue their position after that. Lol

Not to mention he-man toys, which were the same body with a mix of 15 or so options for legs and accessories.

As an adult in my 40’s, I feel oddly cheated and appreciative of the rampant reuse of molds and army builders figures. I feel cheated from the standpoint that toys are far more expensive today ($25-$80) it wouldn’t seem asking for unique molds was out of the question, but also it amazes me how with some clever paint, a new head sculpt, and accessories a company can make 50+ characters off of one body and get people to pay $25 a pop for the same toy over and over.
