I sent Action Toys an email asking about Blue Jet, but I'm not expecting a response. On Facebook under the pic of the Robo Buggy reveal, myself and other asked about Blue Jet as well. But this is a happy surpise. Now, I'll use this as an excuse to buy an original Buggyman/Buggy Robo....
I’d like to get a few...Cy-kill, Leader-1, Loco, Turbo, Scooter... I’ve just slept on it up to this point mostly because I was focusing on other stuff. I probably ought to get Leader-1 since he’s up for PO right now...
Huh, I didn’t even notice that there is more of him coming. I wonder if this is old stock BBTS acquired or a new run - and if it’s a new run I wonder if it’ll have better QC than the first release. The first release was easily the weakest of the bunch. Great design but poor tolerances and loose joints. It would also be fun if this release has the mask off since they did actually sculpt a little face underneath.
I love how he went from the original (fold down pop out arms) to the version they came up with. Top and bottom of the locomotive folding up and forming the arms and legs in an interesting way.
Not much. Eagle had loose joints, Steam’s legs don’t like to hold together very well (at least on mine). I can’t recall any issues with the others. Deluxe Bike is as nice as some SOC figures and pretty much a perfect toy. I think a couple of people had loose hips or something like that, but mine were tight.
Gotta admit, I did not see Buggyman coming. Maybe it's just been so long and my memory is failing me, but I don't recall seeing him among the prototypes. Regardless, he looks great! I love the bazooka he's packing-- gives him a bit of character. Definitely going to pick him up. But Turbo WHEN, Action toys??
Wtf? I just Buggy on BBTS. Where in the hell is Blue Jet and Turbo? They just bringing this out of nowhere? Action/Sentinel are just screwing with us at this point.
That buggy robo is everything I want out of a modern retro figure. I’d like to see this that designer take on an update of g1 Optimus with the same philosophy.
Wasn't Striker Manus done by the same guy? I love Manus but I would love another Prime done with a more Earth-like alt mode
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Action Toys and Sentinel have no relations to each other aside from the fact that both companies are based in Hong Kong.
