exillionXLR: A KO CRACKER

My first KO Thundercracker listened to wayyy too much Eiffel 65

Going back, maybe as recent as three to four years ago, knockoffs were nasty! Good and nasty! You would walk into a pound shop or seedy newsagent and there!!! On one of those rust stained wire racks that squealed like a vole in a headlock every time you rotated it to browse over the sheer crap that was on offer. KNOCKOFFS!!

Pictorial Review: DotM Roadbuster

So i hit TRU today kind of hoping i wouldn't see what I knew I was going to be there and knowingly buy but I went anyways...and yeah there they were...MOVIE TOYS!!

But WHOA! That sounds like I was excited......NO!

During ROTF I allowed the wave of hype to take me like an extremely buoyant penguin and wash me up on the beach of owning too much crap rather quickly. Fact is my ROTF toys are all packed away in a tub that only gets opened when I feel like dissolving two days with a combined marathon panel pop and denture grind session.

Now don't get me wrong, they are great in aesthetic terms and I love them for that. It's just to me functionality reigns on the same par and a lot of the ROTF line has an intuitive level similar to being isolated in a white room with a scart lead, a middle aged walrus and a sign mounted on the wall saying "go on then"

So this is why I had made my mind up to start with one figure and one only before any movie hype could grab me by the man turf.
That figure was going to be Roadbuster because he's new and more importantly, I think racing cars are AWESOME!

Lightpiping Champion: Superlink Landmine

I'll take a stab i think! I guess this guy would be classed as a heavyweight.
Especially with the giant tweed rucksack of towing doom weighing his hind down.
Pulled this one out of the review archive, one big orange hoomfer!
