	The LOWFOOL range of figures depicts (unlicensed) characters from popular culture as hulking men, usually with the same facial features of a strong brow, squinting eyes, and moustache. The standard LOWFOOL body type lends itself well to its "League of Steel" subline, which portrays robotic characters as muscular American football players in armour based on the character in question. After (again, unlicensed) figures of [[Evangelion]]s and {{w\|Gundam}}s, the "League of Steel" line introduced a number of iconic ''Transformers'' characters.
