>>6275760You almost got it right. Meteorbs are similair to Transformers in that they were originally from Japan and then repackaged in the US.
In the 80's Bandai made Tamagoras; eggs that turned into creatures and characters. Some were brought over to Europe as Monster Eggs. Others were sold as part of the He-man line.
In 2008 Bandai tried to relaunch the series with more of a designer look to them. Pic related.
A few years later they relaunched their egg series again with Ultra Egg; Ultraman monsters and characters that transfrom into eggs. They were quite popular so they started doing other licenses such as Godzilla, Disney and Star Wars. They made some generic ones as well with Wild Eggs.
What's the point? I dunno, but Rock Lords exist too so why not?
