Long ago, a few gimmicks in a toy line seemed to be the only requirement for basing an entire mythology on. The Eighties ran buckshot with this concept, seeing what would stick to the wall and what would not and only a few stalwart franchises survived. The original Robo Force from Ideal made these figures with a suction cup base, uniquely stylized torsos and heads, and a specific gimmick for the arms. In 2013, Toyfinity acquired the license, restarted the story, and integrated the new line into their Glyos system of compatible peg and socket joints. Now, The Nacelle Company has given the franchise new legs, literally.
The studio behind the Netflix series ‘The Toys That Made Us’ have announced that the first wave of their new Robo Force is almost ready for pre-order! This 7.5-inch scale line reintroduces our lead hero, Maxx Steele and his right-hand man, Wrecker. The upgrade from colorful stickers to detailed sculpting and reimagined silhouettes, give these characters a new lease on life. Featuring full articulation and collector-friendly window box packaging, the full potential of these action figures is on the horizon. As a nod to the original line, the figures have suction cups at the base of each leg!
Each figure is priced at $49.99 USD and pre-orders begin April 22, 2022 on The Nacelle Company’s official site. The pre-orders for Hun-Dred and SOTA are scheduled to be announced later this year. Walk on, future warrior.
