Before we begin, I just want to say THANK YOU for the 50,000 views and the huge support to my blog.
If you don't know by now, today is the official launch of the latest Foldabots Toy Book series. I myself, didn't attend there unfortunately. But instead, I luckily got myself a copy of TB8 at my area even though I never attended. Well, aside from such, December's KZ issue (which I also picked up) is the remaining parts of Toxicus. Which means this ends up at a par with Bakunawa Dragon by having only 3 members: Butas, Hataw, and Pollutor (or Pollunator if you prefer).
Designs of the Toxicons were made by the following:
Butas by Dan C. Dupaya
Hataw by Louise Christian Lacatan
Pollunator by Micheal Angelo Patagani
and the gestalt Toxicus by Vince Vios
Like Zootron and Trosonator, this also has some stuff included like additional culverts forming legs, other gestalt parts such as hands and head, and additional objects such as road blocks and a hole. Yes, a hole, probably to replicate the toxic hole the three discovered.
The combined gestalt reminds me of Kamen Rider Agito's Trinity Form where Agito uses his three primary forms into one kinda like Den-O's Climax Form and Kiva's DoGaBaKi Form. This is also a first to use the same Scramble System, used in Minis which I've mentioned before.
I myself haven't opened the Toy Book yet, but I'll open it this Friday, on my birthday, where I'll check out the contents of the book, since most of them are already mentioned. Aside from this, Toy Book 8 no longer had the double cover gimmick from 5 to 7, and back to the same way as the first four books. Maybe after Toy Books 9 and 10, will go back to having double covers again.
And surprisingly by the start of 2016, a brand new set of Foldabots will usher in the new year and the upcoming 10th Anniversary of toy line in May. But as for me, I might be making new designs soon and probably upload them on DeviantArt as well. Not to mention new non-Foldabots toy reviews will be popping out too. And until then, to all you who got Toy Book 8 or not, this has been The Foldabots Blog, and we'll be seeing you this Friday for the TB8 Review.

Road to Toy Book 8: Ep. 3 of 3
#foldabots #TheFoldabotsBlog
Update regarding the upcoming Toy Book, the schedule for the release will be on November 28, which today is not the yet.
On the good news, our Lutabot for this month is Pollunator (not to confuse with Pollenator), and of course, both this and Hataw can switch sides respectively, aside from having almost the same design. And now on this episode, my reactions for TB8.
Episode 3: Double Sporty Rage On Patrol
To be honest, this set is probably the best so far, and the good thing about it, is we'll get the Sporticons for sure, but with a twist. The Sporticons can now either be good guys or their original bad selves. Not to mention the Lutabot Diadrones are there, to those who haven't completed their sets composing of just two pairs. While these mentioned are the gestalts of the volume, I'm not sure who's filling the voids aside from Patrol in his MP version, after the 'failures' of the last two MPs, where Astig didn't have a transformation gimmick, and Bangis didn't have good articulations. Patrol however, will have the best design yet, aside from being the base concept for later MPs like Nuno or Nu-Sho, Siklab, Kidlat, and Xi-Takk, which very easy to replicate since it's in the car concept.
The set composed of 12 unique characters, 4 being the L.Diads, 6 being the Sporticons with their purified Foldabot selves (5 characters), 4 being MP Patrol (that's just one), and finally the last two are ambiguous. It could be the much anticipated Special Version of Astig, and the evil version of Tikbalang. Or something unexpected to be released for this edition.
After all, we still have 20 more days before the big day. But in the meantime, to those who haven't got the previous Toy Books from 5 to 7, they're now available again for a reasonable low price of Php 150.00, at your favorite book stores and magazine stands nationwide.
And as for the key rings, I just got one of the last three, which shame I won't do the symmetrical arms with Pollutor (or Pollunator, name your poison), and surprisingly a Yo-Kai Medal of Kiwinyan was included in my November issue. While I'm still on hiatus on making new patterns and recently finished taking pictures of Zootron, the Foldabots Mini made by yours truly, and others, I'll be back soon once I got the photos from my camera. Until then, this has been The Foldabots Blog, we'll see you next time.
