The Blazing Inferno came in "hard" and "soft" versions, though unintentionally. Yes, the Raging seems like it was pretty short-lived. I think it was mostly just unpopular. The UI came out about six months later and it was the heavy-oil ball everyone had to have. It also had two colors, unlike the Raging.
There's a lady here with a RI, but she's almost a spinner, has practically no hand. That's the only one I've ever seen.
Brunswick does seem to be a little particle-shy. The only particles they have out now are the aging (but nice) Black Power Groove, the Impulse Zone, and the Goliath. Compared to, say, Track, that's almost nothing. That's weird, considering Brunswick invented particle technology.
