I can understand there is a period where everyone has to get used to any changes in design/etc. and it can feel weird to go to page and not see what you expect, but I think the issues with the new product pages go much deeper than that. I wouldn't say I was attached to the old product pages, but they were definitely more succinct and easy to follow than this new design. The main issues, in my opinion, are:
1. Sheer amount of info:
Though the old product pages had plenty packed into them, there were at least tabs, so you could flick through and check things out at your own pace. Here, as the tabs are gone, you end up with a gigantic block of text, pictures and info to take in. A lot of people have already talked about this, but the product page should really have a nice, clear, reasonably short summary with important info and pics. Leave it to the reviewers to flesh it out, or allow people to click through/have tabs and pop-ups to access more. Right now, it's an info overload. I feel like if it's an overload for me as a reviewer, who is already familiar with all of this, to a newbie it would be pretty crazy.
2. Descriptive review:
Though the descriptive reviews that are done are always very thorough and useful, with the new system, as seems to be evidenced by the Ina's page, these reviews suddenly take a much higher place in the scheme of things than other types of review. To have (what I assume) is the entire descriptive review on the page, with a quote up the top by the author, their icon etc. and then for the other (often very useful reviews) only have a single line and star rating, with no icon, is a bit unfair. Also, having the entire descriptive review is probably unnecessary as well, as it's got good info, but you don't need to be hit with 1000 words on the product on its page before you even click through to read reviews. If you want to highlight these, put them at the top of the review section maybe, with a label (as other people have mentioned labelling verified/non-verified reviews on the page is also very important) so people can read that first.
3. Repetition.
This links in with what I was saying about the descriptive reviews, but if you have that whole review on there, plus the top left column for materials info etc. that's too much. Where there are no descriptive reviews, it looks like that product information is just repeated again down lower. The same goes for product photos. You have them all at the top so you can super easily flick through if you're intrigued and still see the main picture in all its glory, so why are all those pictures repeated down below? Just means you have to scroll further, for no real gain and it increases the loading time.
4. Only pros being shown:
Gives a very skewed view of the toy and if I had known only pros would be shown for my reviews, I would have chosen to highlight very different features. I think this is definitely misleading for many products where there might be some pros, but a serious flaw. In fact, for my Form 2 review, that's really an issue, as it has a tonne of technically great features, which in my are completely outweighed by one failing. Summaries were a much better way to do things.
(Also unrelated, but I've noticed some of the writing on the banners etc. is a bit off. For example, on the Ina page the banner says, 'Indulge into luxury', which doesn't really make sense. Shouldn't it be 'Indulge in luxury'?)
