McFarlane Toys 1998 Bottom Line

I have reviewed McFarlane Toys a few times and.. to be honest.. I'm going to be reviewing a lot more before it's all over with. You just can't look at modern vintage toys without looking at McFarlane. They did so many things right, and so many more things very, very wrong. This time, I'm taking a look at a figure called Bottom Line, which was made after McFarlane Toys had been running for a few years. Is he something done right or done wrong? Let's find out!

 

McFarlane Toys 1996 Tremor II

If I had a dollar for every figure McFarlane Toys made that I'd never heard of, I'd have.. well, let's just say that this would be a much fancier website. Today, I'm taking a look at Tremor II, a figure that was released in 1996 while McFarlane Toys was still on a meteoric rise and embracing action features. You know, for kids! Who is Tremor II? You've got me on that one. Hey, sue me.. the guy was just really cheap.

Toybiz X-Men Bishop 1996

ToyBiz was in business for a long time. Before they started kicking articulation's ass, however, they produced more basic lines. It seems like they made about 25,000 X-Men figures in the 1990's, but it could have been a few less than that. Bishop here was released in 1993. This was the fourth series of their X-Men line, and Bishop was joined on the shelf with Apocalypse, Omega Red, Strong Guy (no, seriously, that's his name.. it's a long story..), Tusk (he didn't age well), Wolverine in black, Wolverine in blue, and Wolverine in green, produced for the no-longer-existent KayBee Toys. Let's just say it wasn't hard to buy a Wolverine figure in 1993.This figure is actually the repaint, "Bishop II" from 1996, but the paint was the only real change that was made.
