spring-action things are the devil

Is there some secret alliance that I'm not aware of between toy manufacturers and hair stylists?

Because when something like this...

is supposed to fit into something like this...

...it makes my hair turn gray.

And there must also be a secret alliance between toy manufacturers and defense attorneys.

Because directions like these...

...make me want to commit a violent act against humanity.

This guy in particular:

I hate you, little single-dimensional diagram man.

I really hate you.
