NACELLE COMPANY - THE RETURN OF ROBO FORCE

NEW INFO: It looks like these will be priced at $49.99 each.

I tried to figure out who was being recreated here, and it looks like it's the leader Maxx Steele and his ally Wrecker.

From the folks that brought us The Toys That Made Us, the Movies That Made Us and other Netflix distributed goodies, comes the return of Robo Force.

Robo Force was a small line of toys originally created by Ideal Toys in 1984. The original figures all had suction cup bases and bendable arms. There was also a Fortress Playset and a few vehicles. 

Later, in 1992, Galoob also produced a line of figures called Robo Force, but, other than being a series of robots, they didn't have any affiliation with the original line.

Now, the Nacelle Company is bringing back the original Robo Force, but with new, updated designs. These new figures will be 7.5" tall, so pretty sizable figures in today's market.

The pre-order for Wave 1 of the line will go up on the 22nd of April on Nacelle's online Store.

Pricing info and release date are forthcoming.

Bonus Fact: These were designed by action figure legend David Vonner. If you're not familiar with his name, you're definitely familiar with his work. Be sure to do a Google search to see what might have been if Mattel had gone with his idea for a new direction on DC and Batman figures. Ohhhh... it would have been glorious!
