Man, I miss detai...Oh wow, that's pretty cool! Man, I miss details and effort! Granted, some of these molds could still be reused, but we're mostly getting 80's remakes again, so...whatever, I guess.<br /><br />I do not remember that one, but there's no telling if I saw it or not. I think I started on Toyfare around the same time? Hard to say. I still have stacks of them, for some reason. Some of them are cool to look through still, like when they did a special on the 2002 He-Man series and you got to see all the beautiful painted prototypes of the figures that we never got. They had such a cool idea for the revival, back then!<br /><br />Anyway, good to know my random knowledge of old Toyfare won't go to waste with one person! Then again, my random knowledge about nearly everything so far is something you know, so...I should make sure you're not some version of me from the future that's stuck in the past. That sounds like something I might do.Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-51826892919639541692017-04-18T18:08:05.747-04:002017-04-18T18:08:05.747-04:00Oh! Oooh! I know this one! *raises hand*
*starts ...Oh! Oooh! I know this one! *raises hand*<br /><br />*starts talking before being called on*<br /><br />The boot handles are there for rescue operations. So like if Destro gets stuck head-first in an ice cave, his teammates can drag him out! I remember reading a designer interview where he was talking about putting these types of details into the PoC figures. EFFORT!!!<br /><br />Also I was a fervent reader of ToyFare from 1997 until the mid-to-early aughts, so you can bet I know exactly where your craps in a hat came from. Some Big Shots still filter through my brain from time to time. Do you remember this one? "Evil sorcerers make evil pies! I eat it for the good of Eternia!"Draculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587852177919783864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-90283018046440444432017-04-13T10:21:52.182-04:002017-04-13T10:21:52.182-04:00Yeah I thought he was well done, for what he was. ...Yeah I thought he was well done, for what he was.

Those are never not handy. <br /><br />Not my favourite Destro, but I still rather like this guy. Now if only Artic Duke got released.Dr Synhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11662331056153128519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-13938543720139094052017-04-12T21:52:38.002-04:002017-04-12T21:52:38.002-04:00"It's a Techno Viper" - that commerc..."It's a Techno Viper" - that commercial this comes from.TheCynicElementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190369631956733757noreply@blogger.com
