In my newest video, I take a look at the 1986 G1 Minibots.

More G1 Minibot nostalgia. This time I take a look at the ones from 1985.

Kicking off the month of July with a look at the Toyhax Upgrade set for the Walmart Reissue G1 Minibots.

These little guys from NewAge Toys pack a big punch. Here's their take on not-Brawn and not-Outback.

I've gotten the prototypes in and fixed whatever issues I found with them so wave 1 of my MiniBots line is now available on Shapeways: https://www.shapeways.com/model/1652341/minibot-wave-1.html Wave 1 consists of the following figures: Load Bearer https://www.shapeways.com/model/1483339/minibot-load-bearer.html Load Bearer has a tendency to get lost in the details of things and can get quite compulsive when it comes to following the letter of a law. Rarely spotted outside of his Magnum armor, few even realize that this diminutive bot exists! Load Bearer stands at about 2 1/4 inches tall (57mm) and has a 3mm grip to hold most weapons designed for smaller hands. Many of his parts are designed to be compatible with Hasbro's Kreon line of building toys, though he does not retain any ability to actually attach to any building bricks. Full assembly instructions for this figure can be found here, on our Facebook page. You can also click here to check out the figure in 3D. Load Bearer with Magnum Armor https://www.shapeways.com/model/1581409/minibot-loadbearer-with-magnum-armor.html The Magnum armor set attaches to the Load Bearer minifigure creating an all new, much larger figure. The joints for the minifigure as well as the larger figure are intentionally quite tight. If you have trouble getting them together some light sanding should help. Also make certain that you remove ALL excess support material using a thin sharp instrument such as a pin or needle. More detailed assembly instructions are available here: page 1 and page 2. You can also view the assembled figure in 3D by clicking here. Uber Magnum (stand alone figure) https://www.shapeways.com/model/1606015/minibot-uber-magnum.html Uber Magnum has a tendency to get lost in the details of things and can get quite compulsive when it comes to following the letter of a law and views most of his ship mates as trouble makers. There are other times when he just can't deal with things right now. Uber Magnum stands at about 4 1/2 inches tall (57mm) and has a 3mm grip to hold most weapons for smaller hands The joints for the figure are intentionally quite tight. If you have trouble getting them together some light sanding should help. Also make certain that you remove ALL excess support material using a thin sharp instrument such as a pin or needle. More detailed assembly instructions are coming soon. Disposal https://www.shapeways.com/model/1630055/minibot-disposal.html Disposal is a bit nieve and tends to lie a bit about his past in hopes of fitting in with his friends. Sometimes it feels as though he just slept through the last several million years. Disposal stands at about 2 1/4 inches tall (57mm) and has a 3mm grip to hold most weapons designed for smaller hands. Many of his parts are designed to be compatible with Hasbro's Kreon line of building toys, though he does not retain any ability to actually attach to any building bricks.

Explorer https://www.shapeways.com/model/1661897/minibot-explorer.html Explorer is full of energy and having a great time checking out the universe with his crew mates on board the Wandering Beacon starship. Bad luck seems to follow him but he doesn't let it get him down and always tries to keep a positive outlook on things. Explorer stands at about 2 1/4 inches tall (57mm) and has a 3mm grip to hold most weapons designed for smaller hands. Many of his parts are designed to be compatible with Hasbro's Kreon line of building toys, though he does not retain any ability to actually attach to any building bricks.

He means well and he's always so full of energy but he's definitely one of those "small doses" sort of bots. Bartender stands at about 2 1/4 inches tall (57mm) and has a 3mm grip to hold most weapons designed for smaller hands. Many of his parts are designed to be compatible with Hasbro's Kreon line of building toys, though he does not retain any ability to actually attach to any building bricks.
