To this day this set remains one of my most treasured pieces not just because of the cool box, comic book and beautiful toys. As of this writing, one ebay seller has one for $1383 USD! Given the limited nature of the set and its age I can totally understand the collector's pricing but that makes this a truly premium item nowadays. The original comment about this set being extremely limited made me curious about how available it is nowadays. Years after the fact, I am actually glad these figures were not vacuum metallized as that process looked great at the time but proved to be bad years later as metallic bits flaked off of many Transmetal figures. I enjoy both base-sculpts to begin with, but these metallic flake colors are gorgeous (though I admit I lean towards Packrat's colors versus Fractyl's). The figures themselves are both beautiful and hold up very well.

The artwork by Andrew Wildman is spectacular and having the windows in the box to see the figures was even more incredible for the time. The graphics on the box pay loving homage to G1 and Beast Wars at the same time. Everything about this set is outstanding for the time. Previous exclusives had not been in packaging that looked like something you would find at retail (or as close to it as you could get at the time). I still remember the reveal of these figures at Botcon 1997 and how taken aback fans were by such a gorgeous set. After handling the figures again for the first time in years, I found myself getting very nostalgic. Variation in rat ejaculates consistent with the kamikaze-sperm hypothesis. BĪs you can see from the brief blurbs above, I never really went into detailed reviews of these two figures. the Thorne alpha wolf shifter triplets and exiled pack members Alice has her life. This set will not come cheap and the two are rarely separated to be sold separately. You look like you can barely keep your eyes open 575 ratings52 reviews. The most important question we ask is whether or not they would recommend 1-800-PACK-RAT to a friend or relative. Be warned however, the Fractyl/Packrat two pack was limited to 600 pieces, most of which are currently in collector hands.

This is a nice find if you are a true collector or if you're a repaint buff and just can't find Rattrap. In general, the legs are sturdy enough to stand the figure, but with so much on the back of the toy, it sometimes falls back because of the sheer weight it has to support. The original plan was to actually have vacume metallized parts on these toys, but cost limitations prevented that.

In robot mode, the gold accents add a lot to the toy, making him look a bit robotic despite all the rat bits on his body. In beast mode, the painters took care to paint eyeballs into Packrat's 'rat eyes' making him look a bit more realistic. His colors are metallic blue, off white and gold. Packrat was packaged together in a two pack with Fractyl.

PACKRAT REVIEWS PRO

Packrat is one of the Botcon 1997 exclusive toys. Learn more about this pro by reading the ratings and reviews below. This is a very nice item to have for it's 'exclusive' value as a collector's item. Of all the 'Terrorsaur mold' toys, this one (in my opinion) has the most 'natural' looking color scheme, mostly due to the green which takes up most of the toy. The color scheme of Fractyl is off white, gold and dark green. Whereas Terrorsaur had notches to help keep the gun inside, this toy does not. The main mold change is in the back behind the head where the gun is stored. Fractyl is a repaint of the Terrorsaur toy (bringing the total of 3 to separate characters using the Terrorsaur mold).
