Homages are tricky. If you're not aware, those are the Glyos figures that are painted exactly like some of your favorite (or least favorite) 80's franchises. The opinions I see are always mixed; they seem to either hit really well or the general consensus is they weren't very good. Battle Tribes tends to use most of its releases to reference some other popular or obscure franchise, but this extends to other lines like Marty's Kabuto Mushi. What are your opinions?
I swear I always see complaining about the mere existence of homages, but then they tend to be by far the most valuable releases on the secondary market. Is that just because they hit home for a group that might not buy them otherwise? I know I wouldn't be buying into the SMC Tron wave if I wasn't a diehard Tron fan (which, by the way, I'm still looking for the Grid Enforcer and Grid Overlord, if you're willing to sell).
