I just saw someone on post this in Instagram. The newest imaginext blind bag series looks dope and I'm loving the old lines getting new figures. Battle Beasts, MUSCLE, FP Adventure People, plus a cool skull-face hazmat guy.

I don't collect them, but I have one or two just cause they're neat. But I really appreciate them as a great kids toy line.

Imaginext are so fucking good and underrated. I don't particularly buy or care for the licensed properties because their original stuff is dope as hell and there's already an overabundance of capeshit in every other toyline(tho I did cave and buy a few Power Rangers, a Scooby Doo set and a Bane).
I don't buy too many of the play sets bc they're huge and I don't have the space for them among other things, but I've been buying the blind bags and random figures the last few years along with the odd set here and there. They're honestly one of the last unique and inginuitive toy lines you can find at retail anymore. The Egypt theme, the space theme, all the sculpts for the figures, it's just a really comfy thing to collect, plus the price point is perfect. It's one of those series that deserves way more love than it gets, it's the closest thing we're gonna see to the likes of Zbots, Muscle, Battle Beasts and just general nostalgiafag stuff for the foreseeable future.

The only problem with Imaginext is not enough accesories.

Holy FUCK, I want all of these! The homages are dope and speak to me directly! Is there any way to preorder sets of these, or do I need to just luck out in stores? If so, I'm probably fucked, I never see these things.

Are Imaginext figures the ones where the leg posts are fused so both legs move at the same time? And if so, is there any way to mod them to move separately?

Agreed. None of my aliens have guns nor does my not-Robocop. It bothers me greatly.

Yessir, and no clue but I actually may try that with one of my extras for shits and giggles. Will post results so long as it isn't a complete abortion.

The neat thing about the MUSCLE guys is they come inside one blind bag and are made of a keshi-like material. Not articulation though.

I like the original stuff and have some of the licensed ones (JW and Power Rangers).

You can tell there's a lot of love put into this line even if it's intended for "young children", but they didn't dumb it down so hard so there's a nice universal appeal overall.

Oh, that's neat. I guess they're like the Plastic Man that Target had packaged with Martian Manhunter a few years back. Only downside to him was the paint peeled off him when my kids played with him, but these two seem to be a solid molded color so it shouldn't be a problem.

Some of the newer ones have plenty of stuff. My kids like the monster ones. The Mummy came with an Anubis mask and scepter, the Headless Horseman was a glow-in-the-dark guys who came with a saber and a pumpkin head/cape mask with the eyes cut out so they'll glow, and they even had a Ghostbuster/space marine with a pack/goggles, radar, and gun.

I didn't even know series 11 existed until seeing it Wednesday. Shit I only just finally found 9 and 10.

Best line. Finding the MUSCLE dudes was a great surprise

I've been hunting them for the last two weeks after seeing them online, like going to three different Walmarts a few times a week. Not a damn thing, stuck on 9 and 10. Hoping they drop soon but usually the east coast is slow as shit, or at least my area is.

I found series 10 in my local Walmart the other day. The Adventure People tributes are outstanding. I can't wait for series 11 to show up here! I hope we eventually get a Clawtron, the Space Glider, and Brainoid!

With Glyos doing Adventure People homages too, I will soon be able to line up multiple versions of these characters on my shelf. This is excellent.

If only I could find series 9 and 11, they have really cool stuff in them.

Also, props to Imaginext for making a Swamp Thing figure AND for making him a classic brute-styled one.

I hope they keep re-releasing it in different Kenner colorways, knowing Imaginext I think it’s likely.

Love it. Just got this guy, and he's 100% an homage to Pizzaface, the old TMNT figure. He's got the hunchback, the gut, the grin, the shitty teeth, the exposed toes, the pizza cutter (albeit not as a peg leg), the mustache, and a fucking pizza face mask. A+, I guess someone at Fisher-Price was also sad that we never got an updated Pizzaface in the Nick line.

He was part of the pizza thrower vehicle. That’s good enough for that version of the character.

Adventure People makes perfect sense, it is a FP brand

Battle Beasts though, isnt't that a Hasbro property?

the rights for Battle Beasts is really screwy, at least here in the US(Takara still holds the rights for the series in Japan though)
