This, ladies and gentlegeeks, is one of the first toys from Hasbro’s My First Transformers, a new line of preschool transforming toys geared toward children 2 and up. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m not exactly sure what this huge ball is supposed to be doing, especially since it is located.. well… in the crotch area.
Oh well… maybe the real problem is me! I am spending a whole lot of time online after all. 40+ hours per week on the Internet can do strange things to a geek’s mind, I’m pretty sure of that.
Toys that came out in 1986 are hardly a "new line" ..
Now for that one, he is a little, odd. After all, 1 ball, 2 dangly bits?
I was gonna say, its not the ball you need to worry about its the dangly bits!!
I think he or she is referring to the exaust between the leg, and yeah, that is quite the overreaction there.
I actually had this one as a kid, and yeah, when you put the feet back in the driver pops out, and that is his helet you see as the blue ball in the center.
That's even more disturbing. A helmeted head "pops out" in the crotch area with two dangly bits. Yyyyeeeaahh. I don't think that's an overreaction. I think that's a WTF moment in toy design. O_o
Car form of this one. http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/first…
Hah, you think those are balls? Check out the Gobot named "Dive-Dive": http://www.robot-japan.com/item/mr-33-dive-dive-m…
It seems Hasbro has a habit of giving transformers pop-up 'bits', as they also did it with 'Scattershot':
