Playmates toys are lazy!

When I first seen the toys for the new show I taught they were ok, but after seeing the He-man toys, I think Playmates took the easy way out.

What I mean by that is, the new TMNT figures are basically rehashes of the old figures, with some facial changes and minor alterations.
The footsoldier is the best example, he looks the same as the old version, with some colour changes, and in my opinion looks crap.
The Shredders legs are to small, he should be taller than the Turtles, look at the new Skeletor figure, it looks so cool because it has all the right proportions.
Now don't get me wrong, I am really greatful that there is a new show and action figure line coming out, but I just feel Playmates could have made more of an effort.
Does anyone else feel the same?
