Most of the Custom Series looked nothing like the real ones. Some exceptions would be Dr. Inferno Jr., Son of Whyachi, and El Diablo. As a big Vlad the Impaler fan, I was a bit disappointed by the red forklift and weird aesthetic changes.

What I mean is that the others were pretty close to looking like the real thing. It's like they made it as an afterthought or something and just threw it together.

I can just imagine somebody at the company saying "Oh, crap, we need one more. Quick! Throw me together something that looks like Minion."

I've got a complete set of the McDonald's toys (and then some) and a complete set of the little rev-engine toys they had including the very rare Bad Attitude. I have most of the ones that had the trigger-activated moving parts too.

This other toy company released a 50-piece set of things called "Mini Bots" that were essentially sold in "booster packs" of 3 toys. They came with stickers and everything, they were badass. I think out of 50 I have about 31 of the robots, never got to finish my set nor have I EVER seen them again on eBay or anything. (The robots were from seasons 1 and 2.)

I also used to have Vlad and El Diablo R/C toys but I scrapped them and made them into Antweights.

That's the name of the one that I thought was Gamma Raptor! That just jogged my memory! So I have it too, but why do you say it's rare?

It was released into the line of toys shortly before they were discontinued (and subsequently moved to "CLEARANCE" racks at WalMart and ToysRUs).

I specifically collected Battlebots that have been on Robot Wars. I have:
pull-trigger Killerhurtz
Build-Your-Own Mauler
Tentomushi from the McDonald's promotion
And a little rubber FrenZy.

I never had any good toys, but I just found out that Barbie dolls had the date they were made stamped on their butt. Barbie came out in 1958 and my oldest little sister was born in 1959, so when I clean my moms house out to sell I am gonna be on the look out for old dolls.......some are worth $8,000 to $10,000. the rare ones made real early or most valuable and my mom never threw anything away so maybe I will run across one.
