    I actually kind of like it that the boxing glove has a boxing glove for a thumb, and THAT boxing glove has a tinier boxing glove for a thumb, and then THAT boxing glove has a microscopic boxing glove for a thumb...

    It's Gloveception! Just like the "Toyception" across the street on the JW line where the Maisie figure comes with her own fig-scale version of the Colossal Rex, a toy of a toy... LOL

    Those are three great ones. I also love Nobeeoh's look. It really works since he has a heightened sense of smell and has to hang around a toilet all day. I'd be pissed too. :lol

    @Beastbot X I just copypasta'd your list into Excel, and without Bakery Bytes/Lawn League or GOS we're up to 204 figures. If you DM me your email, I'll send you what I have for your thoughts on format tweaks, rearranging data, and other further development. :)

    I think it'd be funny if they backstory Hamurai and Sensei Spiney as nemeses... Samurai v Ninja, Ham n Pineapple... think about it while eating a pizza. :)

    Ok , it's confirmed that we're getting a new batch of Toilet Troops , and seeing as how most get repaints and a new ( singuler mold ) maybe two ... Has any one noticed or read somewhere what the new Toilet Troops molds might be? We have a bar of soap retool, Captain Swoon , a purple/ white repaint of King Toots and a Nobeeoh repaint, not to mention a second repaint for series 3 ... But they , along side sugershocks are my absolute favorites :)  About to die from curiosity ..lol.

    Nah, he's Quackles, part of the Playroom Posse. As far as we know, none of the upcoming Toilet Troop figures are new molds, just repaints of the Series 1 toys.

    Ahh right, cheers. I just assumed that being vaguely bathroom-themed, he would have been one of the toilet ones.

    Do these little guys have any unique numbers molded into 'em we could use to assign "Sculpt ID's"? All I've been able to find is a standard "C-2582A" on the random samples I've checked, along with tampo-printed SKU's and lot codes.

    He's not a rubber ducky. He's one of those pull behind wooden ducks that toddlers have, that's why he's with the other baby/toddler toys.

    Thanks for clarifying! I just saw he was a yellow duck and assumed he was a bath toy! Either way, he’ll definitely go well with MP Beast Wars Megatron.

    BotBots finally landed in Australia, so I picked myself up a few packs.

    I love them so much, but my one complaint is that Burgertron doesn't really look much like his box art. Like he's totally lacking the Computron antennae his art has. He seems a bit lacking in paint apps compared to the others, too. His lettuce doesn't even go all the way around.

    I suppose the Drinks that have what looks like gunk all over them (rotten gunk) could be repurposed as a simple spill and so not be Spoiled rotten theme when repainted - they could be like spilled milk shake instead.

    I was just wondering has anyone noticed if any of the repaints (not remould) have new tampographed faces and different expressions on their faces. Or if any of them ones that are slight remould have the same face as the previous version ?

    I was just thinking with the faces being painted on they should be easy to alter their expressions on repaints - I was curious if they are actually doing it though.
