* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: According to TJ's old website, the original goal of this series was to actually ''encourage'' audiences to buy toys that were arguably too unappreciated. As he said himself on the site "that direction changed quickly." This is arguably reflected in this review, where he says that despite Menasor's shortcomings, he still enjoys the figure.
