Exo Squad by Playmates

[spankweasel]

I don't know if this belongs in this section, ID section or the modern figs section. but, I picked up some exo squad e-frames with two large ones, these are not the robotech ones, but they have buttons that make noise. One is a silver T-rex with "unit B72" decal on his canopy and a green battle cruiser with "ADS-B72" on it's legs. These may not be exo-squad and I think there KO's, but not sure. I don't have pics, cause my camera is broken at the moment. Any help would be helpful.
Thanks

Hmm... not to familiar with Exosquad stuff. I think the Robotech Museum website had pics of all the Exosquad stuff, though it doesn't exist anymore or has moved.

I think these are KO's but unsure of what line they go with if any.

Any ideas on this fella?
The jets have stickers on the front with the letter M on them in red.

Maybe Robotech?

i was cleaning out some of my old storage boxes and getting some stuff for the new shelves in the toy room...time for exo squad to get a shelf and for dino riders to get listed on ebay.

anyone know of a good exo squad site to see the figure accessories? i got mine all mixed up and cant find anything out there that can help!!! i think i have all the exo suits ready but the figures and accessories are a mess...

also if anyone is looking for anything dino riders i will be trading off selling all my dino riders soon. let me know if you are after anything!

and is Robotech Exo Squad? I never understood that connection? I watched the first DVD set of season one of Exo Squad...and dozens of episodes of Roblowtech and never once saw a connection between the two. Maybe something in the second season of Exo Squad???

This is what I can find, in a nutshell Robotech and Exo Squad are not really connected other through playmates marketing.

[80s Action Figures]

Kinda weird about eh exo/robo marketing. i think robotech was long dead when exo squad came out? robotech was mid to late 80s while exo squad was early 90s? So about a 5 or so year difference. So I wonder if the robotech toys were left overs and packaged with the line...or made new to fill out the line?

Also anyone know anything about the tech wars mechs? i have two and wish i got them all...

Another great cartoon and awesome figures. Wish i had all of these back in the day.

I'm pretty sure the tech wars line were reprints of some exosquad toys and they may have been kb exclusive. I wish I knew more about it, the only thing I have seen lately is an aerial frame listed for $100+ (it didn't sell) whether or not the value is really that high, I couldn't tell you

[80s Action Figures]

yes I have seen several of that guys auctions. they never sell for that price ($120.00). i have a search on for them (tech wars) and a few times a year they come up and go for about $20 bucks mint complete loose.

they are remakes of the originals. i have 3 of them myself. i bought them when they were first released at KB. they are of a lesser quality plastic but they are still ok and are all different from the original line in color only...which is pretty cool actually.

the one thing that sets them apart is the figure are different. same scale lesser quality but still look ok...i wish i bought them all when they first came out.

I found a Jt Marsh Tech Wars Eframe at the thrift store a few weeks ago. I could tell it was different, but now I know why

I keep Finding exo squad at my local thrift store, these toys must still be everywhere even though they sometimes go for hefty prices on ebay
