KRE-O ® Dungeons & Dragons: Vansi!

11.20.2015 – Dungeons & Dragons originally a role playing game a table top activity that expanded into a multimedia franchise with comic books, movies, and animation related to it. Not to mention the collectible merchandise that kept the brand growing.

This was a surprising part for KRE-O to produce a theme based from D&D, and it made it to the Philippines unlike G.I. Joe that was never seen in toy shelves. If you’re into medieval times this might be the theme for you that even featured a female Orc!

KRE-O ® Transformers: Dino-Charge!

11.17.2015 – KRE-O Transformers continue to expand with sets and minifigures based from the classic Generation 1 series to the Michael Bay live action films. One of the sets released during the ‘Age of Extinction’ line is the Dino Charge set.

It doesn’t need an explanation that it had a Dinobot in this set that’s charging to war with an Autobot riding on its back. But there’s more to this set than meets the eye though not that much interest it has a gimmick that differs from other sets.

11.13.2015 – Tomax is the other half of the Crimson Guard Commanders. They are twins with their origins are considered top secret. KRE-O produced G.I. Joe blind-bagged packs including Tomax as part of the 3rd wave.

KRE-O ® TF AoE Series 1: Skrapnel!

11.03.2015 – The fifth wave of the blind-bagged Kreon Micro-Changers could probably the second to the last run for KRE-O with most of the characters are either created only for this line in a live action movie theme.

There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to characters created for this wave that doesn’t have any support of fiction. But probably it might have a tie-up with a pre-existing character like this Insecticon known as Skrapnel!

09.03.2015 - When Kre-O announced that they will be producing Star Trek sets based on the sci-fi series fans has been looking forward to this since there has not been construction toy based on them not since Mega Bloks has only the USS Enterprise.
