Good and Bad uses of Gimmicks

Ya, that’s the one thing that I would like to see in Toys to Life, the figures being actuall toys, not still (but REALLY well detailed) statues. I would LOVE to see posablity in them!

At least it wasn’t as bad as light-up eyes and swords and glow-in-the-dark teeth.

I don’t agree. Placing the Matoran on the back I found to be kinda boring, and I didn’t even understand the point of it.

For the 2016 Toa it makes sense because it amplifies elemental power and allows them to travel in different, faster ways. Phantoka’s was pointless.

Another type of gimmick is Co-Op

Little Big Planet is the worse for this

saying “You Need Friends” to 100% the Game

Squid launcher.

The av matoran had jetpacks which gave the toa speed and the shadow matoran gave the blind makuta sight

Arms swinging with no friction… oh wait.

Are we talking about 2006 here?

I was referring to the blasters that came out with those sets. I forgot completely about the Placing the Matoran on the back gimmick.

Didn’t it allow the Toa to go faster, and the Makuta got their I sight back if I recall correctly.

Really, though, that was the only gimmick.

Alright, I guess they have story reasons, but I feel they’re just kinda pointless when you could have written it differently.
