    Fistron seems to be the name of the attendee exclusive. Seems to be well dodgy name for a kids toy to me.
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Actually, even though it's been mistyped by everyone in this thread so far (including me) it's Fisitron. So there's no fisting involved. (And let's face it, no kids are going to be able to afford this toy anyway.)

    And he's a 'Weapondry expert'. So presumably he's an expert at expelling dampness from weapons:

    My bad. I've always read it in LSOTW as Fistitron but it's indeed Fisitron.

    Fisitron was Ironfist's (and later, Verity's) pen name for the Wrecker: Declassified articles in Last Stand of the Wreckers.

    While this Ironfist is a different dude, it's appropriate to use this as his trademark if Hasbro can't use Ironfist for some reason.

    I assumed reillyd was just making a Nexus Maximus-esque joke.

    "Some reason" almost certainly being "Marvel Entertainment, Inc".

    (And I'm loving that the Animated toys come with cardboard G1 1984-88-style tech-specs.)

    They'll be on eBay tomorrow night from American sellers.

    I've got enough requests on my shoulders right now myself with worries about getting them home in the limited time available. If I have any spares, it wont be until July.

    I really like fisitron's head sculpt. I wonder if loophole can help me get some of the attendee figures.
