December Acquisitions

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Couldn't resist an $8 Windcharger.

[Doubledealer]

Something a bit different this evening fellow bots. Today saw the delivery of MC-17 Lock Robo Dial Man (hereafter known as Locklan), one of two Key Robo toys from the Microman Micro-Change line of toys. He's stamped Takara Japan 1984 and fits in beautifully with Reflector, Soundwave and the like.

I took a chance on this little guy and I'm really glad I did. He's a fully functioning combination lock with all 3 disks able to rotate full circle. The winning combination is '387' for anyone unlucky enough to find one without this telling sticker (it's on his back in robot mode).

This is one of those cases where photo's don't do the toy justice. I'd go so far as to say that Locklan is a better toy than Reflector, he really is that super. Despite being a humble lock, I'm still surprised they didn't find Locklan worth including in the Transformers line-up of characters & toys. He's absolutely brilliant in my eyes and I highly recommend him to G1 collectors.

Nice one DD. Love this guy. There are apparently a few different models. They certainly do look interesting and I would get them if I come across them (like I did for Scopeman).

Here they are on the Microman catalogue


And this is all the microman/microchange toys on a table
