Toy Focus for the Year
The obvious toy focus for the year would be Generations Metroplex, a fantastic toy and the largest Transformers figure made to date.  However we have chosen a different figure to focus on, Generations Rhinox.  For Beast Wars Fans this is the ultimate Rhinox figure, pretty much a Masterpiece style figure on a Generations price tag.  
This toy is purely amazing and an awesome display piece that fully deserves to be the Toy Focus for 2013
