I agree, streetwalkin' April wasn't high on my list either though she did add a little something extra to the top of the sewer playset Her and a couple of Police Academy the Series figures and viola the streets of New York never seemed more realistic.

I don't even know what the devil a Sweet Valley High is.

Although I do know the obscure T-Rex and Yeti figures for the 2K3 line were recolored Primal Rage figures.

I do (I believe it's a requirement for any girls my age), but I had no clue that there were ever SVH figures... the thought is a bit creepy, really.

I agree completely. I worked at Target when the Usagi figure first hit. I walked past him on the peg and was blown away by the sculpt. I picked him up seen the action feature and put him back down. My god Playmates ruined one of the most beautiful figures i've ever seen.

Poor Gen got the action figure treatment even worse... although I think I saw that complaint in a thread recently, so I won't go on whining about it.

fudal shredder does the same dumb crubmble feature.
I'm not sure if any of you guys have ever seen disneys babes in toyland movie but thats exactly what this dumb action feature reminds me of.
The toy maker made a toy that was allready broke and would fall apart.
It was a dumb idea in the movie and everyone hated it so why would it work in real life lol

I hate to say, the worst out of my Raph collection is that damn giant sized Fighting Gear fig...he'd never stand right, always falling until finally, he fell off the entertainment center breaking a leg.

I do hate those fall apart figs, that idea was idiotic. the fig's practically useless in the playability factor
