Then too many people complained that "the sights don't line up" so Hasbro just removed them altogether since reshaping them would be expensive because it requires a new mold. Blame incompetence. Nah, the angle was extreme. That'd mean you couldn't engage enemies at short distances at all without looking crazy. It was just a bad design choice. I think they goofed and realized it a bit too late. Definite incompetence. But that's their new thing... look at what happened with the Modulus Recon MKII.
