It's funny to see the modern revision of gimmicks as a good thing by kids who were forced to endure them. Kids are no different than adults, they don't mind gimmicks when the gimmick makes sense and doesn't intrude on the figure being a great toy of the character they love. Cyclops having a light up visor or Wolverine with slide out claws? Yeah, great! Neon Glider Capture Claw Batman? The kid just wanted a Batman who looks like Batman. They don't want a Leonardo with a weird manhole cover torso that you slide a ripcord through so he can garble out "COWAPZZA!", they want Leonardo that can move and fight like like a Ninja Turtle should.
