I saw two figures from

local KMart over the weekend. I confess that this was the first I’d heard of
these, so I have little information to offer other than the link to a few
photos. Even the MEGABLOKS website doesn’t have
any detail yet, as far as I can tell.
I saw the Battle Scorch 2 and Paladar figures who come with a huge
axe and a huge sword, respectively. The price was $6.99.
Critics will likely harumph that these are “Bionicle knockoffs,” but in fact
they evoke (though they’re somewhat smaller than) the old Baron Karza and
Force Commander Micronauts of my distant youth.
Other than a single stud2 on each of Battle Scorch’s forearms, I couldn’t see
any attachment points for conventional bricks, though the packaging doesn’t
afford a 360° view, either.
I’m intrigued by the use of magnet-joints in this latest MB line, which
strikes me as similar to the way the
recently-acquired Rose Art’s Magnetix sets join together. Granted, it’s not
likely that MB could conceive, design, produce, and release a line of figures
in the month since the deal was announced, but it may have been in the R&D
stage before that.
I’ll post more detail as I get it.

More detail.
Dave!
