Wow...those blinking lights last a long time. I figured that a lot of them would have died out by now but opened up my bin to see which one to open next and some still blinking the red light. (interesting enough they are all Cobra related...original Destro, Cobra Commander in gray and red and Storm Shadow).
Btw, do you keep those blinkers or have you thought of good Macgyver ways to utilize those things for other mods or fake car alarm, thief deterrent...hehe....

The blinking light gimmick was Hasbro's obviously bold acknowledgment that kids today have no attention span worth mentioning. 2.) The Sigma Six figures were so unappealing to consumers that Hasbro decided to put a novelty flashing light on them in some cheap attempt to lure people to their toys. For what other reasons would they put a tiny flashing light on the exterior of an action figure package? That's unheard of with popular toys, is it not? |
