What happens when HasTak makes a larger scaled figure without trying to cram in a battery pack for lights and sounds, and treads carefully the line between toyetic gimmicks and collector oriented detail?

Friday, August 21st, 2009Better Transformation – ROTF Long Haul
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009In Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, Long Haul didn’t do much aside from being big and green and badass. Really, he was just there to fill out some scenes and provide a reason to make the toy version.
As Constructicon transformers go, Long Haul is currently my favorite. He barely beats out Rampage, with Mixmaster after that. Long Haul gets points for being one of my favorite colors, and for being great without mods.
Yeah, I like to do mods, but sometimes it’s nice when HasTak gives me the day off.
What’s that? You were expecting me to mod him?
The MOAR You Know – Mini Figures
Friday, August 14th, 2009Hello again, dear readers, and welcome to another segment of The MOAR You Know. Today we’ll be examining mini figures and what they’re made of.
You might at first think “That’s easy! They’re made of chibi and cute with just a dash of awesome!”
The more sensible among you would answer, “plastic.”
While the first answer is acceptable, the second is not. Obviously you haven’t been paying attention, or you just weren’t raised on the likes of Lego.
But how many of us were raised on the likes of Lego, and never knew the interesting actuality of their composition, or the terrible truth of their secondary purpose?
