Final Faction

Now that a few episodes are out, it's clearer to see what direction the episodes & toys intend to go. We've got a lot of action (of course!) that hits the ground running, some corny humour, characters with depth & personality, heroes against villains, and a few surprises along the way.

While the first episode was essentially an introduction, the second full episode (Arctic Attack) takes off with a lot more propulsion. Toy teasers are laced throughout shows as the buzz is never ending for the newest yet-to-be-released figures & accessories. It's a family friendly adventure series that perhaps does not have the greatest animation, it certainly has an old & new collector appeal. A fun, light-hearted romp, with substantial soul.

The action figures are $1 but very well made. The animation while sub par by today's standard; brings back a feeling of watching Transformers after school and GI Joe on Saturday mornings. Well done Dollar Tree.

Fun for children, inexpensive for adults. It's inexpensive not cheap. Figures are an amazing value, show is fun.

You get what you pay for and these things are a dollar. Looks like they didn't spend much more than that on the animation storyboarding or voice acting. There are simply ten million better ways to spend your time than watching this that will end up costing you way less of your precious life. It's already sad enough we are locked into a race to the bottom demanding the cheapest possible Chinese consumer goods and hurtling the planet towards inevitable heat death. If only people would quit demanding things be cheaper than the amount of labor required to produce them-maybe we could actually progress as a species but that seems like a distant dream. Just watch anything other than this.

Adults will find this corny and silly. Young kids will love it. My five year old great nephew was enthralled and immediately asked to watch more episodes. He was disappointed to hear there was only this one so far. So he watched it again and again. The animation is decent, the voice acting is first rate. The toys this series is based on is the real gem. Fantastic figures for a buck apiece.
