1:18 Action Figure News, Reviews, and Checklists
Trashcan is from the 2009 animated Astroboy movie.
This figure is part of a two-pack that came with a Weapon drone. The Astroboy action figure line was made by Jazwares in 2009, the same year the movie came out.
This little guy doesn’t show up too much for sale. There is 1 currently on Ebay.
The Mobile Mastiff is a robotic dog from a Chinese animated show called World Peacekeepers.
The figure is from a line made by M&C Toy Centre that also makes the Army figures called Power Team Elite – World Peacekeepers as well. The two lines are completely separate things though. The animation line is really pretty great for Sci-Fi lovers.
I got mine directly from the manufacturer from their website. They do have a few hoops to jump through but the process is fairly simple still.
Maximus appears to be a monster truck transformed into an action figure. That is all.
The figure is from a new line called Monster Jam : Creatures by Spin Master Toys. Pretty neat figure regardless that he only sports 5 areas of articulation. Swivel neck, Hinge pin shoulders, and T Swivel hips.
Easy to find since these just came out. I got this one at Target and Amazon has a listing up.
So I guess this is actually supposed to be a MECH of some sort. Being 3.75″ it fits in well as just a regular droid though.
This figure is part of the Super 7 Robotech ReAction line made in 2017.
Amazon still has a couple of these as well as Ebay but both are marked up. BBTS and Super7s website was sold out.
Bytes is a robotic dog from the children’s cartoon Rusty Rivets on Nickelodeon.
The Rusty Rivets line was made by Spin Master Toys in 2017. He came in a two pack with Ruby. I picked up this figure on a whim during my last trip to the local Toys R Us. I have actually tracked down all the rest of the robots from this line now. One really neat feature that I will show in a later post is the combine-ability of the random parts included in these sets.
This figure is pretty easy to find on Amazon since it is still a fairly newish figure.
Originally the Tin Woodman was once a man but after being enchanted by the Wicked Witch of the East his humanity was eventually replaced with prosthetic tin limbs.
The Tin Woodman better known as the Tin man is from the 1988 Wizard of Oz 50th Anniversary line by MGM Turner. It came single carded as well as in a box set.
This figure is pretty easy to find on Ebay for a reasonable price.
Lug is from the 2005 Robots movie voiced by Harland Williams. Lug came in a two pack as part of the 3.5″ Mix and Match line.
Ebay is the best place to find this figure. It is a bit hit and miss since the line is a very generic word “Robots”. I got this figure as part of lot from Ebay a few years ago.
FX-7 was one of the medical droids from Star Wars Empire Strikes Back in Echo Base on Hoth.
FX-7 was first released by Hasbro in 2001 in the Star Wars Power of the Jedi line. It was later re-released as a repaint in the The Vintage Collection in 2010 as part of a Target exclusive 3 pack.
Ebay is really the main online option to get this figure.
Not sure if this guy is “officially” a robot or what it is supposed to be. In my world he is at least part robot/cybernetic. The Visitor is part of the Jazwares’ Fortnite line produced in 2019. He is in the series 2 Early Game Survival Kit.
At the moment of this post this figure is being clearanced out at Wal-Marts for about $4.50. If you can’t find on there though Amazon has plenty still but at around $7ish.
