    Sorry, Vangelus, I'm a monster.

    But level with me on this idea; a spaceship with nunchuks.

    Just a bit of information, since you guys didn't seem to know.

    The Robot Men X and Z were Antex G2 Decepticon toys, also recolors of the Jumpstarters from 1992. These Auto Assembly guy is a homage to Robot Man X.

    The Salt-Men were Generation 1 toys, made in 84 or 85. The reused the box art, but they toys were a bit different.

    I love the fact by the third Kyle Wagner TF article he goes from being "nice and medium, avoiding nostalgia whiplash" to being titled "Michael Bay Is Why Transformers Got So Complicated".

    I'm going to defend Jazwares a bit here; the Sonic toys are pretty great. Adventure Time isn't too bad. I can't speak for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter; I don't own any of those.

    And they've done a couple of female Sonic characters; Amy, Wave, and Blaze. A Cream the Rabbit was rumored, and Rouge should be coming. Should be.

    That said, I think they put more effort into Adventure Time and Sonic than others. And I think they cancelled the rest of their Street Fighter line.

    Sonic designs are pretty simple shapes. Of course they'd be able to accomplish that better than actual detailing. :\

    i saw a couple of those those black knight ones at a TRU, the Shadow looked badass!! is there a knuckles as Gawain floating around?

    i think that progress bar isn't for that poll, its for some beast hunters game that is also on the site, cuz i remember it being up before this.

    also, i voted for morningstar, nunchuks was a close second....... in my defense, if nunchuks are an underused resource, morningstars are almost as underused, if not equally as underused

    Not yet, but there will be, as will a Silver as Galahad, and Tails as the Blacksmith.

    I agree with ya, Vangelus. Godzilla Final Wars was just a mishmash of different movies all rolled up into one. Despite the movies flaws I like it and the monster designs that came with it, including Gigan.

    Sounds cool, i will be sure to keep my eyes open :) 

    Have to correct myself, i relistened and Omegus already pointed out what i did, i just wasn't paying attention the first time round, mea culpa.

    i stand by my morningstar decision though........
