    For a change, looks like my local Walmart is NOT one of the ones with Botbot distribution problems. They apparently just put out another case of single packs. I got Stinkasaurus Rex, Sergeant Scrubadub, and Nobeeoh for myself, and Snippy Snappy, Prof. Wellread, and Cranks for my wife. All she needs is Stinkeye Stapleton and Totes Magotes to complete the Backpack Bunch.

    I think Nobeeoh might be one of my new favorites. His super-serious face is hilarious, especially since he's walking deodorant, and I like configuring his face flaps slanted over his head in an Animated Bulkhead backpack fashion. Stinky Rex is adorable. I have to admit, Cranks might be the most disappointing Botbot I've encountered so far. Not much to his transformation, his face is dumb, and I ripped a fingernail trying to get his arms out. At least the pencil sharpener mode looks good.

    Agreed, Nobeeoh is just plain awesome, he's in my opinion the best of the Series 1 blind bags. He has a simple transformation, but his facial expression is pure gold.

    Ah yes I see Remorsel also hates to have his picture taken. Ummmm did uh Skywarp have some sort of altercation with Kidd Klobber before the picture. His arm is looking a tad broken. :lol

    I was actually thinking of that idea......individual stores that snap together and double as storage.......now should there be clearance for larger figures (Micromasters, Deluxes, Voyagers, Leader for Transformers and 4 Inch to 6 for GI Joe/ Marvel Universe/ Infinite/ Legends, DCUC/ Multiverse, MOTUC, WWE, Shinkis/ Revoltech/ Figma) and also work with similar scaled lines?

    Idk why , but folks keep Wondering why they can't stand Woddlepop ?, Because technically, she is depicted just as her toy sits , penguins are in real life as well as media, portrayed just as this little lady sits in toy mode, penguins are literally a Plop of bird with little feet protruding from the underbelly.. idk if it's just appearance ? , And skin covers thiere legs only leaving the feet exposed? Or if they literally have little feet attached to their bottoms ..lol.. but yes, the correct stance for her is just as you have her standing, it just looks like she's sitting... I think it has to do with the way animals start to physically revert back to an aquatic lifestyle , as they progress further and further out to sea , the more streamline their bodies become ... Ichthiosaurs,dolphens , well all cetaceans really have evolved to have a more fish like form , while animals like Pleasiasaurs , seals , walruses ECT still retain hind limbs in flipper form .. idk , it's what ever ...may be wrong , but pretty sure I'm not wrong.lol. ;)

    Aren’t they just the best? Hey, a small FYI, but you should be able to pull Professor Wellread’s body further out. All the way to his shoulders, allowing you to swing his arms forward a tiny bit.

    He's in one of the 8 packs. I want one too.

    This is the un-captioned version of a comic I did in the tf funnies. He's holding one of his guns in his hand.

    Lol, of course they stand , as well as walk ? , obviously .Penguins , in no way resemble Woddlepop with crane or ostrich legs , but they do have a femur , a knee, tibia ECT, just like ours, and their legs are covered in feathers making them look shorter than they look , their legs are set far back in to the hips , so far back infact that they have no choice but to walk with a gate , plus, I think they are literally the only bird that doesn't get around on it's toes , but instead it uses the heals of it's feet ? Not 100% on the specificity , but I do know that over time their bodies have ajusted to an aquatic life style , becoming more and more bullet like ... Imo only , I think there on their way to becoming more and more like a seal .. there not exactly there yet, but yeah , even having an exact amount of bones in their legs , the femur is extremely short , they are hindered , and hidden with the placement of the femurs, throw in legs completely saturated in feathering and boom , voila ! , you have a bird , that literally looks like it's taking a permanent squat :)  so my statement about how the World pop figure is not ment to stand on it's toes , exposing a fairly legnthy set of very orangish legs ... Sorry , I'm all about the what ifs and so on , but I'm standing by my conclusion on this particular topic .. Her package art even displays her , I think not once but two , three times? Idk , but she'd drawn just st as the toy looks , I think maybe the majority of the popsicle stick is ment to be hidden , as part of the transformation ?

    Edit: I just realized the legnth of my post , sorry for the stretched out response :(  . Sorry folks .

I'm honest to Gods super interested in the Flower Pot , not to mention the color change plant pitcher This new tribe seems so perfect to be placed along side the Shed heads in some sort of display ?.. love them .
