Cybertron Seeker
While most knock off versions of Transformers toys are fine examples of the old adage, “You get what you pay for,” I do find some relatively high quality stuff now and again. Those who troll the bowels of the El Dorado that is Divisoria know that there are quite a few bootleg toys that are worth the money those pirates will charge you for them. You just have to know where to look and what to look for.
The best find I’ve had up until now has been the knock off Transformers: Animated Activator toys; Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Grimlock, and the Seekers. Not only where they made of higher grade plastic than most toys like them, the molds used weren’t as soft and the material held it’s shape better. That meant nice, crisp details. Even with the weak spring action and the lack of the trademarked Autobot or Decepticon logo, they are some very fun toys. Not only that, but they came in all sorts of other colors.
But then I found these babies that I’m reviewing today and they are giving those Activators a run for their money!
I found this guy in Toy Kingdom. Megamall. I spent about a week thinking if I wanted to risk it, seeing as how p130.00 is about $3.00; expensive for a knock off no matter how you slice it. The box says stuff like “BEST NEW OF DESIGN!” and “OUTSTANDING FEATURES!” and “LUXURIOUS PACKAGING!” It’s been slow toy hunting after the holiday season and I was hard up for a new fix. How could I resist?
I finally decided to get one and test it out, fool around with it awhile and see if it was any good.
