Punching pops
I found something entertaining saturday. Heading home from college for the summer, mom and i stopped at Shopko. I spotted them in the candy aisle.
Remember those stupid spin pop things? Yeah, like that, except way cooler.
So there i saw optimus, and then megatron. full-figure sculpts, g1 style, about 5" tall, the sucker stick goes in their head, and there's a plastic bubble around the sucker and shoulders. each has a little button of the faction symbol on his waist, which, when pushed, releases the spring loaded head (i haven't actually opened them yet) that pops up rock 'em sock 'em style. here's the best part. the rubber arm/hands are attached at the fist to posts that go through the chest and out the back, when pushed they throw a boxer-style punch. it's freakin awesome, and kinda hilarious. $10 for the pair, but worth it. I'll try and post pics tomorrow.
