1:18 Action Figure News, Reviews, and Checklists
1:18 Scale Action Figures Droid of the Day
Echo Echo is the Omnitrix’s DNA sample of a Sonorosian from the planet Sonorosia. Looks like a robot to me though.
This figure is one of the many that came out during the Alien Force series made by Bandai
This figure is pretty old so Ebay is where to go.
I came across a set of RETROBOTS gumball machine robots that had pretty cool looking heads. They didn’t come with names but I took a minute and gave them all some names. Optix, Grilz, Diskz, Shadez, Shox, Stitchez, Toxic, and Wavez
The are marketed by a company called A&A on Amazon Marketplace
I got these from Amazon.
“A battered, decrepit old droid addled by outdated, glitching programming, Bucket has been Jarek Yeager’s loyal astromech for years. Despite the droid’s eccentric behavior, Bucket is a capable mechanic.” – Databank entry
Bucket shows how cool an astromech droid would look without it’s fancy shell.
This figure came in a 2 Pack with Jarek Yeager as part of the Star Wars Resistance line made by Hasbro in 2019.
Still available from Amazon and probably easily obtainable from stores like ROSS or 5Below.
Weird robot bat thing that Skeletor can wear.
This figure was an accessory pack as part of the Mattel Masters of the Universe 2000 mad in 2000
Twenty years old now only leaves trade shows and Ebay.
The name sums it up. Leader from the Incredible Hulk used these to wreck lots of havoc.
This figure was part of the Incredible Hulk Smash and Crash as part of a two pack that includes a Leader figure. This line is from Toy Biz made in 1997.
Being 20+ years old Ebay is where I found this figure. Amazon Marketplace does have one available at the moment as well.
Cats in Space… I’m not sure if this is a cyborg cat but I like to think it should be.
Sergent Tabbs was part of the Robolx Series 9 single carded figures made by Jazwares in 2020.
So far Sgt Tabbs only shows up in the Amazon Marketplace. I found it at retail in a Target.
Robot Chicken is the mascot from the show Robot Chicken.
This figure is from a two-pack that includes a 6″ figure of The Mad Scientist and this roughly 3.5″ figure of the Robot Chicken. The set was part of a very small 1:12 scale line made by Jazwares back in about 2010ish. I picked the set up at a Toys R Us.
This set occasionally shows up on Ebay so keep an eye out for that one. There is also a similar figure made by Kid Robot which will be in a later DotD. I also have the Mad Scientist in my box of stuff to sell.
Galaxy Robot is a cheap wind-up toy I found at a K-Mart about 10 years ago.
There are all kinds of wind up robots on E-bay and check those stores as they come around every once in a while.
I don’t know I guess it is for corporate espionage?
The Microwave Spybot is a Roblox figures that was released in Roblox Series 2 as part of the blind boxes and in a mega collector set.
Easy to find on Ebay for $8-$15.
“Oooh! This wire needs surveillance—graciousness—<FZZZT>—maintenance! See? Fun! “
Fixit is an Autobot from Transformers. His character is a little quirky jack lift that has a lot of technical ability.
This version of Fixit is part of the One Step Changers Transformers Robots in Disguise sub-series released in 2016. I found this figure in a K-Mart I think when it first came out. Now it seems to be going crazy on aftermarket. Amazon marketplace has this figure listed for almost $80 (not worth that!) And the smaller Legion version for $160…???? Ebay is way better with sold listings from $15-$25.
