Ah Kup, a character that seems to be hard to just do right in Toy form while not being kind of boring. His original G1 toy is best described as “Weird Space Pick Up”. He got an alright update a few years ago in the Generations line where he turned into an old timey Earth Pick Up. Kup, despite being fairly popular has a few issues that come up when trying to make updates. First, his alt mode is lame and kind of boring, which isn’t particularly marketable. Second, his […]
Thunderhoof has the distinct pleasure of possibly having the first Tractor alt mode in Transformers. There may have been one previously, probably some sort of Minicon if there was one, but I am pretty sure there hasn’t been a Farm Tractor in Transformers history. Plenty of construction vehicles, not so much farm machines. Thunderhoof’s spirit animal as it may be, is a deer. As such he ends up with some pretty huge majestic antlers on his head in Robot mode. He also, appropriately, has hooved feet. His robot mode is […]
Fracture is the real turning point for the Decepticons of the Robots in Disguise line. There was a slow build up before hand with Megatron but Fracture was the point where the line really got good. Fracture’s animal theme, though less obvious than Quillfire and Steeljaw, is a rooster. This mostly presents with his little mohawk deal on his head, though his shoulders also have a sort of random almost feathery look to them. Articulation is really nice on this figure, and he doesn’t have a lot of really bad […]
Mega Man is one video game series I have extremely fond childhood memories of. I’ve played and finished all of the games and Mega Man 3 is one title that I played religiously back in the day. It’s a series that just begs for a good toy line but it seems like it will never achieve the greatness I had always hoped with hundreds of Robot Masters. Years ago Jazwares put out a short lived line and I snapped all of them up, despite their mediocre quality. I’ve dabbled a […]
Runaways isn’t a Marvel series I ever really expected to get any Marvel Legends from. I kind of doubt we get too many more from this “team” either, all of them are kids and a lot of them essentially just have plain clothes costumes, which Marvel Legends doesn’t really do too often. I may be completely wrong though, there is a new TV series coming this fall. It kind of seems like a fluke that we got Nico Minoru aka Sister Grimm. She does sort of fit in with the […]
