"4+" taking the place of "6+" seems to imply "extremely juniorized". The
pictures are too blurry to tell though. The blue humanoids are improbable, but
I still want one. The family is cute. I don't feel the need to get any of the
Earth things though, just Martian.

Pirate-Style enemies? If it isn't too juniorized, its mine!

Are these aimed at 5+ or 6+? And will they be simpler than the 7+ Throwbots?
The names are cool, but the designs are not very original. Still, I'll get one
to see what they are like. What does the text in the yellow area say?

Seems like a very juniourized year if nothing is for ages 7+. But maybe there's
another catalog for the advanced stuff. Maybe that means there's a lot of
advanced stuff.
