ROTF actually, and no kidding it got a Robot Heroes for no apparent reason! I did mention in earlier post above that I didn't know about this guy... and whether I would've counted him in even if I did...Originally Posted by BigTransformerTrev
Oh you mean this guy??
Well, that's what I get for relying on TFWiki.net... they didn't have a pic in there so I thought he wasn't a released figure.
Are Kre-O toys transforming toys? I haven't looked, but there's probably already a long thread about this, arguments done and dusted, two opposing camps hold to their valid opinions, etc. Personally, I think the block models transform as much as a Lego model can be 'transformed' from a crane to a car to a plane for example. Haven't thought about it much, but that's probably why I have instinctively chosen not to go for what I consider non-transforming toys (includes Kre-O, and definitely stuff like Robot Heroes). But you might ask me what about stuff like PE Motobot (Arcee) where you have to reassemble whole parts of the figure? Too much for one thread to handle...
Now... the mini-figure Kreons are an interesting category. They do kind-of transform, so I guess I should've included this guy. If you would have voted him your favorite Springer, let us know!
For the next 'can of worms', what about this guy:
Really getting a bit tongue-in-cheek here... looks to me like some people have fairly strict views about 3rd party products. Should they be included in polls like this? Should we even buy them? Can we consider that something like Warbot is our favorite representation of Springer? Once again, there's probably already a thread about this...
Personally, many of my favorite stuff are 3rd party - for example, I think the best Insecticon representations out there are the FP ones.
Anyway, I'm really enjoying some of this discussion... it's such a great media to be a fan of!
