Remember Transformers? If you answered yes then you probably grew up with them. If you remember the Transformers cartoon I am willing to bet you also remember the Transformer Toys! If so then congratulations you were a typical American child. The line of Transformers Toys is a long one stretching back before many of the newer generation were even born. These were the classic ones that filled our hearts with joy.
Most people don't know this but the first line of transformable action figures is called Go Bots. E 'characterized by cars and trucks, which in turn can count on robots. Finally, and acquired in this line of Transformers toys was the beginning of an era that is not finished yet. been made with a short period of time after the series Transformers.
But do not get in the animated series now, it would take too long to tell. Most of us think of an action series Generation>figures when we hear the word Transformers. Giant hunks of plastic with hardly any joint movement are essentially what these things were. Around Christmas time they were the toys every little boy had to have.
As the manufacturers used die cast construction on the toys, they began to get more complex. Essentially die cast construction is liquid poured into a mold and allowed to cool. The parts produced from this process are very durable, though somewhat limited in Movement. Many manufacturers have made at that time.
came as the plastic to metal, die-cast construction as the preferred method of manufacture replace faded. New techniques for a stronger plastic can be made. New species common also full range of motion allowed. Whenever there is a new series Transformers, the toys are generally more durable and advanced.
The ability of a robot pose in many different locations was a joy for many children. If theseries Beast Wars Transformers was aired, the quality of the figures was a huge leap forward from what we already were used to. They used ball and socket joints similar to our own, and as such could be moved in nearly any direction.
As the original series again started to attract interest toy makers decided to give it another run. Limited numbers of the original G1 transformers were released with updated configurations. Although most adults loved them and felt like children inside, they cared for them a little bit better this time around.
The newest toys to grab our attention though are the ones from the live action movies. With greater detail and more complex transformations they are truly a site to behold. Most of us don't abuse our action figures in the first place. But a little fall is bound to happen eventually; luckily they are just as durable as they are fun to look at.
To wrap this up Transformer toys always bring back good memories. Be it the animated series, the new action movies, or the toys themselves the name Transformers isn't going anywhere any time soon. Still the most advanced toys on the planet, Transformers action figures are rarely matched in complexity and detail. Remember they are not just for kids anymore; adults can play with them to.
