I know...I know....you speak true, but in my romantic idealistic way, I fondly remember the days when a repaint of a character was the exception rather than the norm, and even then it was cool since it comprised, say, a whole team of seekers. I know it makes great business sense, it's expensive to make a prototype, etc, etc., but oh how I wax poetic of the days when a whole combiner team would be separate designs for each piece rather than reused limbs. I remember when back in the day, you would buy a figure and be getting a truly unique character with his own design and specs, rather than twice repainted character or a "night version" of an existing character....etc., etc.
*sigh*
I just can't imagine all but the most diehard collectors with deep pockets and walls upon walls of open shelf space are going to actively look for these. I just can't help but feel a pretty good line is becoming watered down and tiresome with all these minor tweaks of existing figures.
