I
like toys. I like characters, but toys I like more - mostly because a
new toy line could birth a whole new generation of characters and, yes,
more toys. The Imaginext Ion Scorpion comes from a space line
that feels fresh and also pays tribute to a couple of decades of space
toys. The figure looks like it could be the grandson of Repto or
Kronos, and the colors are bright and inviting - like most action
figures aren't. Were it not for super hero toys, the toy aisle would
be an increasingly muted and largely dreary. The 3-inch aisles are
where it gets the most interesting with Imaginext and to a lesser
extent, Hasbro/Playskool's Robot Heroes and Super Hero Adventures lines.
(Jedi Force is effectively dead, so let's keep moving along.) I
snagged this set on a tip from the one and only Matt Doughty that they
started hitting Kohl's last month, and as an added bonus I found that
they were 50% off when I was there. I couldn't say no at that price -
Imaginext single blind-bag figures are usually $3. $5 for a figure with
a vehicle? I'm sold![ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
