    Hey, could anyone help me with this? The toyline was by Magnetix, I used to collect them when I was about 8 or so, they were knights that had magnetic limbs so you could mix and match different parts. I think they had a gimmick where you'd press a button on the head and the eyes lit up, anyone know what they were, because I'm stumped. :(

    Hmm... Those don't look too familiar... They had a lot of detail, they weren't transparent like that. They came with these metal collectors cards too, if that helps at all.

    Did they ever bring the line back out with weaker magnets or something? I remember having one of those, and the magnets were so weak that the thing couldn't even stand up without falling over.

    No, from the reviews I'm seeing, stuff posted well before the recall... they just had really shit magnets. The figures would sag under their own weight.

    Mega did revamp the Magnetix line as MagNext, but they took the apparently safe Mag Warriors design and ran with it for future lines.
