Transformers
Stopped by the library today to return The Breakfast Club and while I was there I checked out a volume of the Transformers More Than Meets The Eye comics. After reading it, I was so caught up in an overwhelming desire to take part in capitalism I stopped by target and bought a couple of Transformers toys (with my focus being Whirl, who appears in the comic.)
Whirl is nice, with all the usual upsides of Voyager-class toys: full articulation, decent transformation, overall polished look. My biggest complaint is he comes with a ton of stickers, most of which are smaller than a sliver of pinky nail, none of which are any fun at all to apply. Also, after reading David Willis's review, I am extremely cautious when transforming the legs; lord knows I don't want to shell out another 25 dollars because of fragile knees.
Bombshell is fun almost entirely because he turns into an insect and it is a very nice insect. I don't even care about any other aspect of him just. A+ insect that turns into a robot.
Legends-class Strongarm unexpectedly is about as fun to transform as her Warrior-class toy, and actually very nice for a two-inch-tall Transformers toy.
Between Bionicle coming back and my newfound appreciation for Transformers, I've bought a lot of toys. This seems like it probably says something about me as a person.
