Yup, mostly freeware. I like them because they do a good job and I can slap them on multiple computers, so I can work on them whenever/wherever. I have a couple paid packages but don't use them a lot.

This thread will be of interest:

I picked up a Mystery Set and got Wedgie:


The Canister should be of interest for dio-fodder, too.

HOWEVER, don't get them if you're gonna feel guilty from the METRIC CRAPTON of wrapping plastic. Holy crap, I've not seen this much wasteful packaging in my life. Each of the 7 mech bodyparts were individually-wrapped, and the Canister itself is double-wrapped (and the perforated Zip-Strips don't work for "LASER BLAST", too!). I seriously think they could use all that extra plastic to add in some more articulation.

They're supposed to be like the L.O.L. baby dolls for boys. Essentially, multiple blind bags in one package that builds one toy with accessories. I don't think it works as well in reality for the Robots. Cool little toys in the Homies meets mecha kind of way, but not quite there as far as end product. There are better and cheaper options right now for the custom fodder, but I expect these to be solid discount store and Goodwill finds within a year.

Yeah, I'm gonna get a couple more to try out the swappin' fun; but will definitely wait for their inevitable clearance to get more. The Canisters are likely going to end up being the real prize for customizing.

I've seen these pop up on IG . At first I didn't have any interest but after seeing this post and a subsequent review ...I'll grab a few if I come across them at the right price . Fodder in this scale is always welcome . The toddler pilots are nice custom inspiration as well (more mature takes on the designs would be interesting ).

I get an "early Ben 10" feel from these. That's a good thing.

Also MGA toys reminds me of Mega Brands pre Mattel purchase. Adventurous , unique and simple product. Think Plasma Dragons and robots from years past.

Some of these do look cool, but I will wait for the clearaces at Ross and TJ Maxx in a year or so.

Just saw prototypes of Scareglow and Stratos on Facebook. That makes me happy.

Yup, saw them on TFW. As I said over there, I made a Teela because I didn't think they would then they did. I made a Scareglow because of all of the characters to make, I figured he'd be one of the last; now they're making him.

I just hope I'm able to find them when they get released. I've not found anything since Wave 1 and am waiting on the pack from BBTS to fill in the ones I'm missing.

That's good news.
I wish that MC would make more than two MOTU characters per waves. Can't they see that they're selling like hot cakes?

_________________

Exactly. I think that's why my local Wal-Marts aren't restocking, because the MOTU guys disappeared from Wave 1 and maybe a couple of other guys sold, then the rest just sat there. When it got low enough for a restock, the MOTU guys all disappeared again and they were stuck with an otherwise full case.

Picard and the Borg are often the lonely survivors in stores, left behind to tell the tale of a once glorious case of figures, now long gone.
Wave 2 hasn't even popped out around here yet.

Was having fun with some of my extra Mighty Minis. Behold- Batman and Mr. Freeze! Freeze was by far the hardest to articulate because I wanted to retain the translucent blue the figure had. Luckily I had a few Leonardo clear blue figure and one Blue Halo Gummy to work with. Very tricky on such a small figure!

Because Freeze was kinda hard to make out the added articulation. Both are now fully articulated.
