The plastic on those Action Master Partners is very brittle. Even inserting small weapon into large weapon as per instructions splits the barrel on the likes of Inferno's backpack and Sights.

The paint on Shockwave's and Blaster's chests chips easily. I managed to replace Blaster when Jolly Giant were selling Action Masters in the mid/late 90s for £2.99 each. Shockwave, however, is still showing battle damage.

My name is Graham, and I own broken Action Masters.

Yeah, the QC on AM's can be a bit dicey! Hence why they must be re-issued!
The spring on Blaster's backpack poinged out within the first minute of play. Over-run's legs are attached by pure hope.

Are e-Hobby doing repaints of the Encore series? If so then where the hell is my Metrotitan?

A knock-off of Metrotitan came out around the same time so perhaps ehobby thought it wasn't worth the bother? A number of folk got caught out by the KO Metroplex, also out at the same time, including the usually reliable on-line store TFsource who were scammed by a supplier. Though when they realised they had been duped, they agreed to pay full postage for customers to return the KO and to send out a replacement proper Metroplex at their own expense so kudos to them.

Me either.
Some other company did a WST Bruticus (which I am too scared to take off the card) along most of the other gestault teams. They were at one time 10 a penny on ebay before Hasbro got in there.

I've had a shot of Nick's Metrotitan and the colour scheme does wonders for the mould. I would get behind a legit re-issue!

Hmm. Time to get Toy-fu's cassette imports up on eBay sharpish! EDIT: Imagine if they did the combining dino ones. Imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth by those who had paid $300 each for them, completely drowned out by the whoops and hollers of joy from everyone else  -Nick |

Probably won't go after that set, as I think I have all of those, but it is nice to see them get a release so that they are available for those that lack them.

Theres also a much older KO Metrotitan (mid 90's at least) that had a green dome on he chest below the head I picked up the remains of one a a carboot sale, just the head, chest helipad and arm were left. Despite its state it seemed like a good quality KO.

I have the Japanese Slugfest, so would have preferred an Overkill. But won't complain, it's a nice set and I'd like a Ratbat with ears.

Eek! It's just occurred to me! This means we're that bit closer to Encore versions of those Japanese-only cassette combiners. Noizu and Grafi and thing and thing whatever their names are. I'm excited!
