I don't like either but I was just wondering what the consensus of the forum was

Both are horrible and take money away that could have gone to Legends/Entrance Greats/Defining Monents.

Both are awful...bad ideas just waiting to get clearanced. They are a waste of shelf space, and those resources should go to the main basic/elite lines. Between the two...at least the flex force heads were usable.

Despite the crummy action features, at least you could have a match with FlexForce figures.
I don't know what the hell you're supposed to do with PowerSlammers. Last person to stop breakdancing loses?

Neither is really made "for" collectors like me, so they don't bother me too much. All you newbies should go by up all them Power Slammers though, they'll be worth a mint later on...

If they had not sold FlexForce, they could add 1 EG figure per FlexForce made. EG were just basics with accessories. Legends and Defining Moments could have been made better with a higher budget without FlexForce. And now, with Power Slammers, it's even worse. New body molds, new "powers", and you can't even use the head with a Mattel figure.

Legends and Defining Moments could have been made better with a higher budget without FlexForce. Do you seriously think that's how money works? It isn't. If a Legends figure had the budget of a Legends figure plus a Flexforce, then a Legends figure would then cost the same as a Legends figure plus a Flexforce. They wouldn't just add tons of money to the budget of a figure without raising the price accordingly.

And if by chance it could go to another line that would just made the production cost higher. Which would have made the retailers cost to buy them higher. So it still would have been cancelled seeing the retailers felt the costs were too high to begin with because customers weren't buying them at the prices they were at.

But, I would pay the cost of a Legends + FlexForce to get, say, a Sgt. Slaughter in camo, or Road Warriors in Red. I do understand the price would have been higher. But, without FlexForce, the shelves wouldn't have been clogged with FlexForce. I do completely understand your point.

But retailers didn't want to carry the Legends, DM or EG because their customers weren't buying them at the prices they were. Do you really think retailers would have wanted to pay the to higher price to stock them? The lines still would have been cancelled because retailers wouldn't have ordered them.

I never said they wouldn't have been cancelled. Almost no matter what, they still would have been cancelled. I just think that along with a price increase, there could have been a slight increase in quality. Maybe preferred attires instead of what we got.

Retailers wanted a segment with action features aimed at kids, that was always gonna be the case (hence them being replaced with something similar/worse). I'd have loved red LOD and camo Sarge too, but those were design choices rather than budget. We could've had them in the better-known looks in the first place. Mattel just had the (bad) idea to make them in more obscure/regional/older outfits to differentiate from the jakks versions. I remember for months holding out for red LOD then eventually just accepting they weren't coming and buying the Road Warriors. Sad day. They're still really good figures... But not as good as they could've been. I still haven't bought the Mattel Slaughter though.

Mattel will probably combine Power Slammers and Flex Force for next year.
