Tri (or Quad ?) language bios are brutal.

I bought the HFTD Sidearm Sideways the other day and couldn't help but notice the pathetic 'bio' on the card back.

...ok?

Thanks to our friends at tfw this is the full bio:

As it turns out, the flare launchers he's been practicing with will be perfect against DECEPTICON hand-to-hand specialist AXOR. The evil warrior thinks he's going blade to blade against his AUTOBOT counterpart, but he's in for a nasty surprise.
Yeah, a bit of a difference.

Anyone else wish that they would go back to the separate insert with a proper bio?

I'd blame Quebec.

Maybe...Italian? It's a bigger country (market).

I don't read the Bio. Ok, maybe in the toilet when I'm out of reading materials...

You must read slow, or poop quick.

I'm cool with the current art direction on the packages. The bio never really interested me all that much since I just re-name half the characters and come up with my own twisted mythos for them all. I like that they empthasize their photoshopped porno glamour pics of the figure now instead of cluttering the card up with as much wording and cross sells as they can.

Re: Tri (or Quad ?) language bios are brutal.

I wish they had the full bio too. I don't keep any of the cards or boxes, but I do enjoy reading the bio as I open the card and to me, it's part of the unboxing experience. Then I smoosh the living crap out of the card and bubble until it's as flat as a pancake, rolled up like a crepe, and free thrown into the garbage can. That is also part of the experience.

I'd like the full bio. It just seems wrong not to have one.
