I love this show, but this was the only figure I ever was able to get when it was first released. I've since lost it.

Or even just re-releases!
I just wish they would have released the entire series on Home Video. I have the First Season DVD.
As it is, I bought a BD of the complete series from online. Excellent Quality.

Loved the show. Never had the toys but a friend did. I'm wondering how bad for my bank account strting a collection would be now.

It depends if you want them sealed or not.
Sometimes they go for cheap, sometimes they are expensive.
If anyone wants the show on blu-ray, look up monsterlandmedia

I remember DeLeon kicking the bucket in a noble sacrifice only for the resident mad scientist to up and clone a new one. None of his friends thought too hard about him not being the original either.

My brother never liked the show, but because I did, he had my parents get him some of the figures. The only ones I remember that he got were Marsala and Maggie and T.J. Marsh. I think he had a few others.

I just remembered that in addition to Alec, I also had Colleen.
I always loved Red-Heads!

Looking at eBay now, they look pretty cheap loose. I have wanted an Exo Squad collection for a bit. I think once I finish up my current projects I may start picking them up.

These molds were bought by a toy company in Britain and were reproduced under a budget line in fewer colors, mostly black and acid green neon. I can't remember the name.

There's a few more but you guys get the idea. They're the same molds, probably worse plastic, more simplified colors, but they're also really budget priced. If I saw the entire series for $100 or $200, I'd drop it and get them.

I had the alien chap in the center, and he was so fucking incredible... I think the colors are a disappointment from the original, but he looks to be all there.

These showed up in the States too. I never owned them, they seemed like knockoffs to me, even the name Tech Wars was ment to invoke Beast Wars I think.

Can we seriously talk about the cartoon for a second? I was in my early teens when the toys hit, and I never once remember the show being on tv. Did the time slot change 8 times?

I am pretty sure I sae most of season 1 (were there more than 1 season?) As a kid, i think it was on Fox around the same time as Gargoyles. It was really really good. It was basically Char's Attack, Genetically engineered Martians fighting a rebellion against their human masters. I don't know if it would hold up to a second viewing, but i thought it was cool back then.

1 short first season.
1 longer than normal second season
third season was only one episode before production was halted.

It holds up extremely well.

lol, fucking weebaboos.

It was pretty much a slave revolt, not unlike pretty much every slave revolt in history, with a touch of pre-Germany WW2 where they built up a modern army in secret after their first slave revolt to gain status as equals.
