Hero Faketory Part 2: Electric Bootlegoos
Okay so over my vacation in 2014, I spotted some- interesting looking toys in a boardwalk store in Wildwood, New Jersey so I thought I would go in-depth and showcase to all of you
POLICE LEGEND: WAR FOR THE INVRDER FORM SPACE (Note: all bolded content is directly quoted)
DIY! COLLECT ALL! HEAVY EQUIPMENT ENTHUSIASM GAME!
To lead this team of crime-fighting heroes policemen, we have FLAMES
Flames comes with a giant claw, a wing piece with stickers taken straight from Stormer XL, and scoliosis!
Next up is GUARDIAN
What he's guarding, I wish I knew but he comes with a dual-edged sword and a yellow colored mace (not visible). Neat! He's also the only hero legendary policeman to not have hancuffs. Poor Guardian! Notice his 1.0 head with a 2.0 helmet as well.
Then we have HUNTER
Hunter features a... launcher with wings? Missile? It shoots red balls and flies. I don't know but either way he must be good at hunting those "invrders form space"! I also have a picture of the back of his box (Note the 1.0 purple hands he doesn't actually have). He comes with predetermined base stats. Let's check them out, shall we? (Apologies for poor camera-phone quality!)
VALUE OF LIFE: 800
Seems a little cruel to put a number on someone's life but oh well.
ATTACK POWER: 900
Wow, 900 somethings of attack power!
DEFENSE(?): 700
ABILITY TO EXECUTE(?): 700
ACCURACY: 1000
Spot on Hunter! He sure won't be missing any of those "invrders" anytime soon.
After that is BLIZZARD
Blizzard comes with a claw similar to his fellow policeman Flames, and I think another claw in his other hand. He must do a lot of ice picking.
Unfortunately this one's name isn't visible in this photo, but the next one. This is RYE
Rye features a um, engine powered yellow lazer? Yeah, but as a bonus, Rye comes with extra shoulder armor in case you lose the first one (See bottom left)!
Well this last one is the odd one out. He definitely isn't a legendary policeman, but he is from the creators, certainly. The ONLY part of the SUPER HEROES ALLIANCE: DIY COLLECT THEM ALL line, it's GIANT (See upside instruction book in bottom right)
He is the biggest of them all and comes with nothing but his raw muscle and bare hands! Yeah! Too bad there aren't any other super heroes.
Well this just about sums up the uh, rather interesting look at the sets I saw over vacation. Here's a link to the gallery, when public. This company, apparrently known as "IX" did a great job with these outstanding figures. Well done! Come back next time where we inspect the "BOT FACTORY" toys!
