Thanks guys for the Bludgeon info! I certainly have more appreciation for the guy, and the more pictures I see, the more I'm wanting the toy...let's hope it hits my neck of the woods soon!
I tried getting into Masterforce during the summer. I think I got 9 or 10 episodes in (whenever Buster and Hydra showed up) before I stopped. I guess I just hadn't made a good connection with the series yet to keep going. I do plan on getting back to it at some point - it sounds like things really start to pick up soon afterward.
