bad movies

it seems whenever a big movie comes out (Spiderman, Star Wars, etc.) the big toy companies ALWAYS cash in on it, usually by just bastardising the character (i.e. rocket-launching Batman) and making the toys just plain ******ed. even the CANDY companies cash in, they throw Batman on an m&m wrapper, every 8 year old in America will buy it. am i the only one who gets pissed when they do this?

It's annoying, but what can you do?
Truth be told it's mainly the Batman figures that go crazy like that. Outlandish costume colors & equally outlandish weapons.

Yeah, this bugged me even as a kid. It was so hard to find a Batman toy that was just. Batman. No crazy gimmicks. Just Batman. It pissed me off getting bright orange and greens and crap when it completely defeated the purpose. I wanted who I saw in the movie and on the cartoon.
