Was someone recently asking about this?

I vaguely remember someone (maybe Ward) mentioning Dianauts with plastic blocks on their feet instead of magnets. Just wanted to say I got some today and now know where they came from. Mine came from the Taiwan Fightbot knock off of Gats Blocker. Same diecast content, but the plastic is cheaper and there are plastic blocks on the feet instead of magnets.


Incidentally, I was amazed to see that this KO had the Diaclone logo on the box, and even used the names Diaclone and Waldos. Nice quality toy, though a few of the parts don't fit as snugly and the blue is more purplish. I still want to get the green and purple version of this KO.

Thanks Shax,
Yes that was me asking about those dianauts, based on a picture I saw on ebay, where the feet and legs looked to be one solid piece where the magnet normally sat.
By coincidence, I was given a link to this website yesterday

www.pretf.com

which shows those figs in the Diaclone Pilots section.

Yes, the feet and legs are one solid plastic piece. Somehow, I couldn't find the right words to explain that

Hoping these pics can help you...on the left side the original one, on the right side the knockoff...
