does anyone love the animorph toys & think their awesome

[Tigermegatron]

Does anyone here actually love "the animorphs" TF toys & think their great toys with great toy engineering,great sculpt? or does everyone agree these toys are pure awful.

Personally I think the animorph toys are pure garbage & a waste of good plaastic.

I don't remember them, but that might be because Animorphs was one of those things that just didn't appeal to me, I might've subconsciously avoided anything related to it. Or... when were the Animorphs toys, like 1999? I was 14, I wasn't looking for toys! But ok, I'll look them up on TFU and get back to you!

I looked them up on TFU, and now I'm gonna get back to you.

Well, considering the time, I think they did the best they could. We're talking about human to animal, here, not robot to car. That's hard as rocky. Some of them have admirable amounts of detail, but it is annoying that the limbs are invariably just animal limbs. The more overtly monstrous/alien ones at least look fun, and not restricted by their transformation.

Rachel the lion is pretty cool.

They look about on the level of the original Headmasters or Pretenders, construction-wise.

I never got any of the Animorph toys myself because they didn't appeal to me. Plus never cared that, because they're a human to animal transformation, obviously they can't hide the kibble as well as they'd need to for a fully realized human form, unlike the robotic Transformers figures that don't need to hide all the kibble. Still, I could see how they would appeal to fans of the Animorph books/series and they aren't the worst transforming figures I've seen.

And when the line was scrapped they ended up re-purposing and slightly re-working a few Animorph figures into the Beast Wars Mutants, which were different for Transformers... but I'd say they turned out to be some interesting figures.

The alien ones were the best. And that boss-ass one that turned into the T-Rex, always wanted that.

Yeah, Rachel the tribadial lion was friggin' awesome, if only for the wrong reasons.

The tri-rex was fucking awful. I got one for customizing, and never got around to it. That was the center-piece toy of the line, and it was one of the worst "Transformers" figures that I have ever seen. (Seriously, it was arguably worse than G1 Ironhide and Ratchet.)

You don't even want to hear about some of the fanfic I wrote in my early teens. (It involved a shared universe between Animorphs, the Alien films, Pokemon, Transformers, and damn near everything else I could come up with.)

I agree on both accounts.

Rachel the lion was just WRONG because she turned into a male lion with a mane instead of turning into a female lion.

the Tri-rex was pure awful in the individual 3 robot modes. fans were making jokes that rachel about rachel's hand weapon.

[Gomess]

Yeah, turning into animals is fine, but sex changes? EWWWWWW

About half of Beast Wars' cast must've freaked TigerMegs right out, huh?

I didn't care for the Beastwars season one CGI designs as it reminded me of the claymation.

I liked the CGI designs better for beastwars season 2 & 3.
