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 ® Star Trek Series 2: Quark!

11.19.2015 – Star Trek Deep Space Nine is a series that made a difference. It’s a Star Trek series that wasn’t set in a starship, but in a space station known as Deep Space Nine where interesting characters you’ll see that was aired for seven years.

One of them is a bar keep named Quark a Ferengi, but not just some alien who just serves drinks he’s one of the most interesting characters in the series.

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.

KRE-O ® G.I. Joe Series 3: Tomax!

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.

The Crimson Guard Commanders are more familiar in the classic G.I. Joe animated series, but little is known about these two. But Tomax could be as interesting if not for his brother Xamot.

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!

KRE-O ® Star Trek Series 2: General Chang!

10.22.2015 – Star Trek is one of the popular science fiction series of all time and currently developing its thirteenth feature film. In the previous films there has been great adventure with the crew of the USS Enterprise.

There has never been anything like the original crew from the classic TV series. Don’t forget the TNG crew is all a great cast as well as the one developed by JJ Abrams. But the last of the first six films has one of the memorable villains with General Chang!

KRE-O ® Star Trek Series 2: Mugato!

10.15.2015 – Star Trek is a big universe that the television series from The Next Generation to Enterprise lasted eighteen years. Not including the classic Original Series that started it all, which lasted three seasons and becoming a cult phenomenon.

The Original Series itself has bigger stories and memorable characters that even though it was cancelled it still syndicated that built that foundation for the newer series. As mentioned there are characters and one of them is the hairy Mugato!

KRE-O ® G.I. Joe Series 3: Atomic Man!

10.02.2015 – G.I. Joe as a brand is celebrating fifty years since its first ‘action figure’ was introduced in 1965. For the following years it has evolved which mirrors what is actually happening in its succeeding era.

You’ve got military-related themes in the 1960s and in the early 1970s and then there was the Adventure Team in the mid-1970s, which tackle the environment at times, became weird and KRE-O has them too.

KRE-O ® Star Trek Series 2: Salt Vampire!

10.01.2015 – Star Trek has a rich world of stories, ships, technology and alien worlds. When Hasbro acquired the rights to produce merchandise for the well beloved franchise the fans thought the toy brand would produce action figure but they didn’t.

What they have acquired is the rights to produce building toys based from “Star Trek Into Darkness” in 2012 for the KRE-O brand. They produced ships and mini-figures based from the film. What’s surprising is the blind bags were something worth getting because the wave 2 is based from the TV series that includes the Salt Vampire!

KRE-O ® TF MCC: Devastator!

09.29.2015 – For any Transformers fan out there who grew up in the 1980s everyone knows the biggest baddest Decepticon out there is a combiner. If you’ve been reading the comic books lately the Generation One series based on the classic is simply a hit.

The current theme for Hasbro toys is the ‘Combiner Wars’ series, which is told in the IDW published comic books. KRE-O had several of these prior to ‘Combiner Wars’ and right now they’re a must-have who can’t afford a Titan Class Devastator.

KRE-O ® Star Trek: Transporter Trouble!

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.

It’s been a while since someone takes this property and makes it look new again. This set in particularly inspired by “Star Trek Into Darkness”, but when you look closely its not based in any of the film’s narrative and you got “Transporter Trouble!

KRE-O ® TF AoE Series 1: Nightbeat!

09.01.2015 - Kre-O’s Micro Changers have entered its last waves which is under the “Transformers: Age of Extinction” banner though not entirely tied-up with the said film. But it shows how the series has evolved from just a micro figure with Kreons.

The second to the last wave represented as Series 1 under the ‘Age of Extinction’ line with random characters from obscure to the familiar ones you’ve seen in action figure. But there are old characters too like this Headmaster named Nightbeat!

KRE-O ® G.I. Joe Series 2: Tunnel Rat!

11.01.2014 – G.I. Joe is an Elite Team and each soldier is unique with their designated expertise. You won’t see any cannon fodder unlike in the ranks of the Cobra Legion that some might appear redundant in appearance.

But with G.I. Joe each character would probably your favorite hero. There’s no other Joe that’s not unique and when you talk about a special character few comes to mind unless you haven’t seen the G.I. Joe Movie in 1986 that featured Tunnel Rat!
