“I have the power!!!”
Growing up as a kid in the 1980’s meant that I was exposed to a number of awesome toys. From Star Wars to G.I. Joe and from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Thundercats, I tried to get my hands on all of them. In the early part of the decade, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe dominated my collection. My parents hooked me up with a ton of the figures and a few of the playsets and vehicles as well. One of the vehicles that I really loved was Roton. I was also a massive fan of Battle Cat. When I saw that Mega Construx was releasing a set featuring both of those iconic creations AND Merman and Battle Armor He-Man, I had to get it!
With 173 pieces to put together, this kit was fast and easy to assemble. Battle Cat came relatively complete, as I only had to slap his armor on him. He-Man and Merman were easy enough to assemble as well. The “challenge” was Roton. Consisting of the most pieces, Roton was still relatively easy to put together. The cool part was putting the teeth on the giant red wheel.
Better yet, Roton worked exactly like the classic toy when it came to the spinning wheel! One tire was slightly bigger than the other on the vehicle, and that larger tire propels the teeth on the red wheel. The two guns also fire. Tons of memories came flooding into my brain while assembling and playing (yes, playing) with this toy.
If you’re a fan of Masters of the Universe, and I know you are, grab this Mega Construx set before it sells out! MOTU is enjoying a growing revival at the moment, so it’s a great time to be a fan of the classic line. I had a great time assembling and playing with this kit. I know that you will, too!
Thanks for checking out my post. I’ll have another awesome toy review for my readers very soon!
