Like Gremlins, it features lots of scenes with peoples homes getting trashed and wanton destruction. It’s pretty dark for a kids movie, kind of like a post watershed Toy Story and although not as good as Gremlins, it’s still worth chomping popcorn to. I had a bunch of the figures as a kid, but it was the nineties, so naturally there were a few micro playsets released based on the movie. The best one was the 2 in 1 attack zone.Īs you can see by the box, it’s actually two playsets in one, either the kitchen combat site or the garage battlefield. Before I look at the set, here are the accompanying micro figures, Chip Hazard, Butch Meathook, Slamfist and Archer. Like what seems to be in every post lately, this is the part where I take some issue with things. If you’ve seen the movie, you will know the Commandos are a bunch of ruthless bastards.
Even the Gorgonites hold their own towards the end, and realise it’s better for them to fight than hide. Why does it look like they are just stood around having a BBQ and they’re waiting for the burgers to be cooked? Also Slamfist looks like he is holding a large ball of shit as opposed to the boulder that is meant to be where is hand is. My second qualm with the figures are why aren’t Chip Hazard and Butch Meathook wielding their weapons? If you look at the box you will see they have put little illustrated versions of the characters in each scenario. In the kitchen, Butch is swinging from a grappling hook raining fire down, Chip is firing from the cover of a cupboard, and Archer looks like he is furiously barking orders at someone behind him. The garage has Slamfist leaping clear of an explosion, Archer is angrily shaking his fist at Chip Hazard and Chip is firing at Slamfist whilst furiously pointing his finger at him. And then you see the figures, which are kinda just stood around looking like they are making polite chit chat. They couldn’t look any further away from the action poses they are doing on the box.
