Playmate technodrome question
I have a couple questions about the 1990 technodrome.
1. Is there any way to get the guys to man the Lazer blaster on each side of the technodrome. Where there is a purple platform. Like how the box art shows. If not then are they just for show? 2. In the playmate technodrome commercial it shows robot arms on krangs pedestal. A. Are the arms from krangs robotic walker (sold separately) or included with the technodrome? B. Will krangs robotic walker arms fit on the pedestal posts? 3. Is there a file available to 3d print krangs red escape hatch? Thanks everyone for your time Nick |

It looks like you could maybe get the turret handle into a figures hand on either side. But unless you propped them up against the "generic technology boxes" on the right and left, the figure would hang there. Either way it's going to be goofy as hell, but hey that's Playmates for you. Quote:
I am pretty sure that the arms will fit to that post. That post's sole purpose was to mount Krang on, so it follows that these horizontal posts do indeed peg into Krang's walker arms. I never actually tried with the one that I had here, but you can see the mounting posts in the photography above - I'd lean towards it works. Uncertain, although this seems like something that would be easy enough for a 3-D hobbyist of most skill levels. Last edited by IMJ; 02-09-2024 at 12:07 PM. |

Thank you for your reply. Yeah in the commercial krang has grey arms that have to be from his robot. My son spotted it and thought we were missing pieces. Thanks man

I think the 1990 Technodrome would've sold better if it came with a Krang action figure.

Really? I could see it selling better if it had a wall construct or wall feature of some kind where you could have inserted Krang's Android body or something like that. But the standard Krang was so commonly owned I don't really think that including the "Krang Brain" toy would have impacted sales at all.
