Unicron toy!

Post by Darth Wong »

You know, my boys got a Unicron toy for Christmas, and I discovered that it has independently articulated fingers! This is a really cool feature, because it means you can do this:

That is severely badass.

Of course, I can't wait until the day when you find the Unicron looking like that... and you could swear you had put it back to normal the night before... :P

I think we might have a picture somewhere of my Eva Soul of Chogokin figures getting flipped off by DP's Unicron or such...

Yeah...pretty much one of their largest barring Fortress Maximus(toy size)

For easy reference, he the planet eater in the 80's movie.

Unfortunatly for Unicron, no...only what you see is what you get....but he's a helluva a fun toy to have whomping on others.

As for the other toys, they vary generation to generation is color. I'd say most the originals are the less brightly colored.

Actually, Unicron has been repainted for the Energon line-up.

Photos and stuff.

Comparison picture of Armada and Energon Unicron.

I've seen him in Toys R Us, but I'm not sure if anyone else carries him.

Ah cool, didn't know that.

Well still like the Armada version...more because the color scheme(similar to the movie :P )

But nice to see they did a repaint of him for the new series.

I had him give an airplane ride to 03. :P


Oh yeah, and how did I take him over to your house? I sat him down and buckled him in, of course. :P

Living in Texas, I keep getting requests to pose my Unicron with the UT "hook 'em horns" sign. :)

Isn't it ironic that in Texas, where rabid fundies have such a strong hold over things that selling sex toys is an arrestable offense and atheists aren't allowed to hold public office, the biggest university in the state uses a "satanic" hand sign.
