This will come as no surprise to regular readers, but I like Transformers. I like Transformers a lot, including the toys. There are lots of toys on my desk and in my office. But why aren’t there toys based off of MMOs?
We’ve had lots of games get the occasional “collector” toy here and there; both World of Warcraft and Destiny have had those styles of figures, usually marked by a lack of articulation, a sculpt that emphasizes details and ink washes over play value, and higher price tags. But that’s not I want. I want toys. I want to buy a WildStar action figure and then buy all of the little tanks for her to pilot.
And it’s not like WildStar is the only option in the batch; Star Wars: The Old Republic seems like a shoo-in for some good action figures, and I would kill for some good Crowfall playsets. What about you fine people? Which MMO should have its own toy line? (And yes, I’m aware that WoW also had a few Mega Bloks sets.)
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
