Provenance
Belonged to donor's son. Began collecting and playing with these action figures at Christmas 1994, age 4. He saw the show on tv only once, thought they were "cool" and his cousins had some. Later he got the movie on videotape. Played with them indoors as transforming toys, rather than following the TV plot where they were always outdoors. Donor says that there were lots of different tops one could purchase. Now playing with Beast transformers.
