Robot Heroes (toyline)

An army of cute, one thousand strong.

The Robot Heroes line is the Transformers entry into Hasbro's series of adorable, little-kid-friendly lines of characters from popular franchises. It was preceded by Star Wars (in various incarnations, finally now under the name Galactic Heroes) and Marvel (under the banner Superhero Squad) lines.

Each Robot Heroes figure is approximately two inches tall and constructed of soft, pliable PVC plastic. The characters are sculpted in a super-deformed style, with exaggerated limbs and smiling expressions (well, for those character with mouths). Articulation is limited to neck and shoulder swivels (for characters with conventional humanoid bodies, at least). It is notable that the Transformers Robot Heroes figures are more dynamically posed than most such figures from other franchises.
