Polyfect Toys Firefighter 7″ combiner robots

Here is the Polyfect Toys Firefighter 7″  a combiner robot knockoff of the Transformers Defensor with a new job title: Firefighter. I guess I would rather be a firefighter instead of a defender. His new color scheme really matches his new theme and it looks pretty good. I think I prefer it to the original. Of Polyfect Toys  robots I have put up so far, this is my favorite. It looks good as a combined robot, the colors sync(which is what made Devastator a nice looking robot despite the heinous green they used), and the design as a whole robot . I would have to take this apart and play with it to see if each of the individual robots  look good by themselves, but at the very least this looks like good display piece if you do not want to fork out $130 for a reissue Defensor. Or it might be cool to display right next to your Defensor. I like displaying my Popy ST robots next to their DX counterparts.

The Polyfect versions are not the same scale as the original robots, but they are still tempting to add to the collection for fun. I don’t actually have a Firefighter robot yet, but I am thinking about it.

Slusher Car Polyfect Toys

Here is another Polyfect robot, the Slusher Car. The names for these are so bad I don’t know what to say.  So far I have put up the robots Construction, Tornadonumber, and now Slusher Car from good old Polyfect Toys. That last one is just terrible. I really wonder who came up with these names. Was it the one guy at the company that knew English or what? I mean when I read that, I see Slushee Car.

This robot took forever to figure out which robot it was a copy of. I love the mystery this presents. After digging, this is the Transformers Sixbuilder Micromaster in 1992 from the Generation 1 series. At first look, I do not particularly care for the color scheme. Design wise it does remind me of Devastator a little bit, but more solid(which I like).  Especially the wing on the chest. So it may grow on me. While the colors really throw me off, there is a version of Sixbuilder comes in Devastator green that I would pick up. If you are going to make a knock off, you could at least try to improve it by using  a better color scheme. At this point I cannot say it will ever grace my display shelves. It is 6 robots that combine into one, so if each robot transforms it may be fun to play with. I can bring it to work and transform it on my desk when I am bored.

Anyway, it is hard to beat the cheap fun of a combiner Transformer for $5.99. Checkout your local Dollar Store for one of these cheaply made plastic robots.

Epic Optimus Prime Transformers Rescue Bots 2014 Playskool Heroes

I don’t really care much for the Rescue Bots line, but the big robots have a special place in my heart. This 22 inch robot reminds me of the vinyl 2 foot Jumbo Machinder/Shogun Warrior robots of the 70’s(I wish this thing had shooting fists so bad!). Those are some of my favorite robots. That and this is probably the biggest Optimus Prime ever. What Transformers fan wouldn’t want one of those? Well Toy R’ Us has them for $12.98 on their site now just in case you want one. I bet they still have them at the store.

Next to the Epic Optimus Prime is the Optimus Primal from the Rescue Bots line. The 22 inch Optimus is much more impressive in comparison and as I write this I am more and more tempted to buy one. As I have limited space, I am trying to resist as best I can. Playskool Heroes also has a Star Wars line that is really cool. Their Millenium Falcon and X-Wing ships are pretty nice.

Toys R Us clearance Epic Optimus Prime Transformers Rescue Bots Transformers Rescue Bots 2014 Playskool Heroes

Here is the Epic Optimus Prime on the Toys R Us clearance aisle two weeks ago surrounded by his brothers. It reminds me of the scene in Toy Story with stacks of Buzz Lightyears.

I think my only problem with the Epic Optimus robot is that his arms and legs are hollow in the back. It makes it feel like a façade rather than a fully fleshed out robot. The chest is a compartment so that part and the head are the only parts that are not hollowed out in the back. But for $12.98 it is not a terrible buy and it is likely the best piece you will ever see from the Rescue Bots Transformers line.
