Thanks much for the pics. I have to agree, these are kinda basic and all that translucent plastic really takes away from the 'knight' feel. I'm not buying that. I'll keep looking for the Mega Blocks Mag Warriors.

Well, I opened them up and all I can say is: AVOID MAGNETIX MAGNAMAN. I really feel riped off. I was a bit disappointed with the Mag Warriors elbow/knee joints, quality control on the heads, and stronger magnets on the feet would have really rocked. But they pose and look cool displayed. The Magnaman have tons of flexability. But suck at everything else. They can barely stand up. Pieces fall off. The joints are weak enough that no poses are possible. I was a big fan of the original magnetix building sets, but this attempt at action figures really sucks. The magnets in the building sets were about the strongest I've ever seen in a children's toy, but the weakness of the magnets in the Magnamans just kills the whole toy. If anyone still really wants to try these out I have the whole future set I'm more than willing to part with.

You could always try taking them back from where you purchased them.
Thanks for the heads up though. They just didn't look cool enough to me, so I doubt I would have even bought them on an impulse. I'm more than pleased with the magna warriors, I'll stick with those.

Jad, glad to see you around again! Do you plan on updating Xeblog at some point?

Hey Thanks Grayfox! Yeah I totally want to get the xeblog going. I'm actually going to combine it into my own little toy blog, so I can cover some of my other toy interests as well. It was put on hiatus when wave 4 was canceled. But now that I've gotten my orders from hasbro direct my interest has been rekindled.

Ok guys. Rather than wait until my new design is finished, I'll just start updating the xeblog. Once my new site is finished, it will take over with a Xevoz dedicated section. Keep an eye on the web site. I'll probably have some updates on sunday night or monday.

Nice... I might have to check walmart after work then.
Has anyone seen the new mega blocks "metal ages" dragon sets. I don't usually like these, but I picked up one of the dragons with the eggs. Super awsome! They look great displayed next to the magna warriors.

I have bought all four Mag Warriors yesterday at the local store. Damn these figures are cool. A bit small, but for CDN $9 (about US $6-7) they're great. Pics coming soon!

i picked up the copper dragon from the new mega bloks "metal ages" set and it is freakin' awesome. they are alot cooler than the the original dragons that they had released. they seem to be less cartoon like and a little more what you would expect a dragon to be like. i also like that they made quadra-ped and bi-ped dragons, this was a nice touch of variety.

Totally! I'm gonna pick up some of the bigger bi-ped dragons in the future.
Well the magna warriors must be selling fairly well. I went to 3 stores yesterday and they were almost sold out. So unfortunately I didn't find the other 2 figures. I'll just keep my eyes open. Not in a hurry on these, but I do enjoy them.
