Cheap weapons Now come with figures! Crud!

[Toonami Tom]

I have always liked the weapons in the new TMNT toy line. They were made of a soft rubber type plastic and they were painted and had all those details sculpted and painted. Now most new figures have old crappy looking hard plastic weapons that don't have any paint or details painted on them. They also seem prone to bending and have those ugly white stress lines on them, or worse breaking off. Ultimate Ninja,Traximus, andthe soon not yet relased Shredder Karai have these new crappy weapons. What's up with this?

Traximus comes with painted weapons.

Also, in terms of the plastic, the quality seems to flucuate greatly. Some are hard as can be while other bend by just being in packaging.

In many ways I'm still used to the old weaponry. The fact that some are unpainted is ok with me. I'd much rather had a sword be all silver than one be bright orange.
