Wasn't Breakdown released in Legacy (not Evolution) packaging anyway? IIRC they do that with "repacks" now (instead of obvious packaging variants).
I mean, yeah, it is and it isn't.
I like how it's so on the nose. A lot (if not 99.9%+) of the miscolorings are (apparently) one guy being mistaken for another so here's one spaceship guy being mistaken for the other spaceship guy.
I absolutely love these, now that I have an appreciation for them as mistakes and not pure...
Aw, yeah, that's the stuff. I never had Fort Max, so I can never remember/appreciate how big he actually is.
Once again I ask for a subline of Big Guys as mostly Deluxes. Except for the base/playset aspect, few of them *need* to be that big.
I do have that 3-part mini-Fort Max, and it's...
Armada Unicron was pretty big, too. It'd be nice to have a picture with several of the 'biggest for their time' (and other notable ones, like G1 Devastator, who is less impressive than the media would have you think) together.
Side-by-sides of toys ten or more years apart can be wild.
I want to say Supreme Cheetor was marketed as one of the largest/tallest TFs up to that point.
How he compared against OG Metroplex and Fort Max (and others) I dunno, but "one of the" can do some heavy lifting.
It'd be neat if it was a triple-changer-- I really like the robot mode (though that's a lot of gray for Optimus). It just seems bigger and pricer than it needs to be, but I guess something like this needs some serious presence to justify its existence.
I've long thought that that those toys (and others of that era) could be replicated with 3D printing. They're simpler and have smaller parts counts than modern toys.
At least, replacement parts for the most-frequently broken pieces should be doable.
The best part of Puzzler was that if you never got the legs, you could still connect the upper torso to the lower torso in its car mode.
those were the days
I assume there's some kind of loose pattern or rotation with the other IPs'ses HasLabs. The Pulse app lists the Star Wars gunship as in production and has the Tron one listed too. They only do so many a year, and Hasbro has a bunch of brands.
The reluctance of McD's employees to show any interest in their products has long fascinated me. I don't expect them to memorize the new toys every month or anything, but IMO employees (especially public-facing ones) should have some basic level of costumer service awareness.
ANYWAY this thing...
