I'm Authentically interested



The new 'Authentics' discount Transformers toys are apparently starting to pop up and I'm pretty excited. I'm not sure if I'm right in my assumption that these are taking over for Legion class (I mean, Legions are almost $8 now, these will be around that price and scale with the Legends toys), but I'm certainly interested. Small simple figures are just the Bumblebee's knees to me and I'd honestly enjoy a trip into a local Walgreen's to grab one of these and a soda. Maybe a candy bar too.


Robo Machines print ad


This old ad in an early attempt of Bandai to market Machine Robo before Gobots is really interesting. Though I wish I could go into more detail than look at that awesome art. Just look at it. That dude's strutting.

Scales well


Every once and awhile I'll see a random commercial and just appreciate something simple. Here it's Scales, a pretty simple toy with a simple gimmick. But they randomly included the repaint versions of Leader 1 and Cy-Kill. Possibly just because that was the version that would be on shelves, but still it's neat. I always liked that repaint of Leader 1 better anyway. Just a more interesting deco.
