Emil Blonsky. The Abomination. Lived in the Christmas Train set because he was a mostly green grinchy guy that stood out on a snowy track. This dude has only two toes per foot, despite hands with five digits.

Mostly a Hulk villain. Gamma powered spy guy.

Side note, found a few bits of terrain in the container that I did in the early 2000s, held paint and shape pretty well for being shoved in a storage closet for the better part of 20 years.

Sweet little gray #shark #ninja (with white, black and red paint details, and spiffy yellow weapons) at spymonkeycreations.com tonight at 6pm PST!

Look at that sharky little mask! 4 different heads, 2 different torsos and alternate gloves and boots!

Blanks will also be available, and a small number mystery figure grab bags, too! Glad to see more #battletribes in the new year – amongst my favorite #glyos toymakers.

They look a little like #powerrangersputty to me, too.

Look at this little girl! I don’t generally collect transformers, but one that turns into a dinosaur skeleton, is super poseable and is on a scale with my 3.75″ stuff… well, come on.

Transformer Vertebreak appeared in my sweet stack of Christmas gifts this year after Mrs saw me adoring her on @nistuff ‘s YouTube channel (follow him for cool toys and etc. Seriously. He’s an entertaining, neato dude.)

Very neat head, tail and ankle articulation. Good for attacking that little Ben Grimm heroclix shown earlier, disturbing a glyos goliath, or acting as a statue in a tiny museum diorama.

The transformation is easy and pretty drastic. I would never have thought as a kid that you could turn a robot into a pretty realistic bone dinosaur.

The name Vertebreak is pretty horrific, the more I think about it.

I wouldn’t mind getting other fossil-bots if they are even half as good as this design.
