I often buy my toys as cheap as I can but going for the ones that were well used by their previous owners. Like the one from my childhood I bought this one used in well played with condition. For that reason alone this toy holds a special place in my heart.

Usually I would get toys via trades with other kids or else whatever I came across at thrift stores.īlaster was the first cassette type Transformer I ever owned. Even as a kid I bought or obtained most of my toys second hand. I didn’t own a lot of Transformers when they were new. I didn’t even care if it was just broken piece of a figure as long as I got more toys to add to my miniscule collection. Even as obsessed as I eventually became with Star Wars, I was doubly interested in Transformers. When I was growing up I was really into Transformers more than anything else.

At nearly 8 inches in height he towers over the vast majority of other Transformers figures released around the same time. What I am certain of is the joy I felt for the brief period of time I owned one of those figures.īlaster stands tall for an Autobot. If memory serves me correctly I think I traded him and other toys for Sega Genesis carts, but I can’t be too certain of that. I don’t remember exactly what happened to him. My memories of that particular Blaster were short lived not to mention somewhat tainted. Joe and TMNT toys I never played with for him along with a few other pieces of Transformers. I was finally able to get my hands on a Blaster action figure when I was in 6th grade. I thought it was the coolest gimmick back then. Between him and Soundwave I was really into the whole concept of them turning into a tape deck that could house transforming tapes.

Like his Decepticon counterpart, Soundwave, he accommodated small robots that transformed into micro cassettes.
