I have to say that I'm starting to have mixed feelings about the toy-line. The packaging is less military and more movie based - I suppose we can let that slide, the Rock has to be paid after-all.
But here we are again with those huge weapons that are just a waste of plastic that most collectors simply pack away in a box.
And what's with that orange gun?

Well, to quote myself

I think that they're torn between whether the biggest market for this is kids or adults which means that they're trying to please two markets. Unfortunately the "kid" market has a bunch of parents attached that demands that things are big enough not to be swallowed and things are colorful enough so that their children don't grow up in a war torn world.
