Kenner in the 70's and 80's was legendary for their licenses. Kenner in the 90s was legitimately ahead of their time and had great licenses to boot. Hipsters appreciate them for the wrong reasons unfortunately. There's nothign in the 70s and 80s they made that other contemporary companies couldn't have done as good, but they did have great presentation
>>8474269Woah, what a completely wrong opinion. Getting the Batman license is when they started becoming great. I don't know how you could consider the Batman Forever line a tailspin. The only legit criticism is that they went from doing a large range of characters to focussing on certain marketable ones.
>>8474295Animorphs may have been Hasbro proper. I'm not sure how the TF design team was handled when most of Kenner was laid off. the Jurassic Park team was infamously let go in the stupidest fucking move Hasbro ever made. Still I do agree Animorphs is a tad underrated; the basic designs as transforming beasts are solid, they make better beasts than most Beast Wars figures(granted b then they had 3 years of BW to learn from); if the Animorphs figures were just Beast Wars robots they'd be some of the best regarded beast figures.
