Somehow every modern toy of this bot is shitty. Why?

Playmates-
>neutered articulation for a sound gimmick you will get sick of in 2 minutes, fucking Panosh Place shoulder joints are the worst of it
>Netflix version has weird proportions somehow, doesn't look quite like the CGI model, that's if you don't hate the new design anyway

Mattel-
>expensive when it came out, super expensive now, bright primary crayon box toon colors, QC is shit

SoC-
>expensive for a toy the size of Combiner Wars, probably lacking in the QC you'd expect for a $300+ item too

Toymani-
>"Masterpiece" of shit mold, floppy joints, badly-designed joints, was sold at budget prices back in the day but is now SoC-levels of expensive, also small, wings pop right off, wobbly knees, the die-cast version is worse than the plastic version at just standing up!
>Ultimate EX had pretty shit QC, shoulder sockets can rip right out because they aren't secured, no ratchet joints anywhere, shield way too big for its own good, also redesigned a bit so you may end up hating it too

Blitzway-
>Fucking expensive, QC on fiddly bits below par for the price, mostly for panels to please the "but they didn't draw the lion legs in Voltron mode so they have to be hidden" tooners who think laziness is an aesthetic, not really any better than any other option
