ToyLand: New Robo Force Kits Have Retro Appeal
Toyfinity has brought back the early 1980s toys with more parts and display options without making the retro robots bank breakers.
Some folks out there may remember the crusher arm action bots from Ideal that looked a bit like Daleks. They came with weapons and the bigger bots had suction cups on the bottom so you could attach them to surfaces upside down or side ways. They got a one shot animated special, a themed erector set, and a bunch of kid focused merch before the line was abandoned.
The licenses was picked up by Toyfinity in 2013. Their kits contain a minimum of 41 pieces that you can reconfigure in a ton of ways (including opting for treads of legs in most cases); they’re also compatible with kits from indie toy maker Onell. You get a lot of parts and nostalgia for the price of these kits.
