Frenzy
Transformers - Movie (Hasbro) - Robot Replicas
Rated 4.50 stars by Collector1
Tiny, evil, spastic, crack addict. Frenzy is all these things and more. A Decepticon spy and all around pychopath, Frenzy is not one to cross with his machine guns and high speed razor disk launchers! The Robot Replica Frenzy is much closer to the CGI model used for the 2007 movie than the previous, none articulated (or limited articulated) toys previously released as accessories with Barricade or the fast action battler toy. Frenzy is the only toy in the Robot Replica line that lacks Revlotech style joints. This is because of the thinness of his limbs would make them impractical, so, Frenzy has socket joints to make up for it. Frenzy has interchangeable arms, the regular claws and a machine gun type limb. Because of the different style joints, and size, Frenzy can not hold one of...[See More]

Peter Parker (Spider-Sense)
Spider-Man (Toy Biz) - Spider Power - Series 2
Rated 4.50 stars by Collector1
You now what is better than the millions of superhero toys? the very few secret identity toys! Seriously, as many Superman's and Spider-Man's there are, how often do you see a Clark Kent of Peter Parker toy? This is one of those rare instances in which one is produced. This Peter Parker is dressed accurately to the clothes he often wore during the mid seventies done to the ugly lime green t-shirt. The jacket is made of minorly flexible rubber and probably couldn't be removed without cutting the whole thing off. The right side of his face is half of the Spider-Man mask, a classic usage to show his spider-sense working while he is in his plain clothes. Peter Parker has seven points of articulation. His waist, knees, shoulders and neck are able to move. The two trashcan lids can be...[See More]

This enables Optimus Prime to be highly possable, more so than most other Transformers. However, this comes at the cost of being unable to transform. This still makes him three billion times better than an Action Master. Optimus Prime comes with interchangeable hands, his normal hands an his Ion Blaster. You can also swap out his hands...[See More]
