* Happens in the ''[[Bionicle]]'' fandom every time the characters recieve a redesign. Notable offenders are the Toa Inika and the Toa Nuva's "Mistika" forms.
{{quote| '''Greg Farshtey''': This is [[BZ Power]], and all new sets are greeted with a barrage of criticism. It's tradition.}}
* The same goes for every change that happens in the ''[[Barbie|Fashionistas]]'' line.
* Quite a few people don't like how Polly Pockets don't exactly live up to their name anymore.
{{quote| They still fit in your pocket but now it is just the doll that fits inside your pocket instead of their whole world.}}
* Also happened for Bratz. Yeah.
* Sometime fans of earlier generations of My Little Pony will say this about the new generations.
* Beyblades, specifically the Engine Gear system. But not looking into it's parts separately.
* The price of small-scale Lego sets have dramatically increased, but so many consider it corporate suicide.
* Many toys were that were handmade or [[We Will Use Manual Labor in Thethe Future|assembled with manual labor]]. Management may change to automation, [[They Just Didn't Care|cut corners]], change suppliers or subcontractors. Cue the fan reaction.
* Transformers action figures, post-2005 and beyond, were lambasted for what are minor imperfections and frailties.
** After the ultra-complicated and realistic robot designs of the live-action films resulted in some huge advancements in the way the toys are constructed and how their transformations work, there have been numerous complaints that they are simply too tough to transform now (with the complainers seemingly being oblivious to all the sub-lines whose figures still offer the same level of complexity as pre-Movie Era toys). A bunch of superficial design details, like the broken-up panels, insect-like faces and "chicken legs" also make many fans angry. Though in all fairness, in the case of a handful of figures, it ''is'' difficult to decipher whether the designers intended them to fit in with the Classics-line or Movie-line toys.
