Spotted Online – Gobots Path Finder Review at CollectionDX
One of the toys I’m including in my Transforming Expectations book is iGear’s Roswell — at site sponsor TFSource — which is intended to be an homage to the 1983 Gobots toy, Path Finder. I love that some of the third party manufacturers are trying to find ways to incorporate Gobots in their work, and now the Path Finder review at CollectionDX shows me that the original toy looks far cooler than I remember. Great alt mode, nice robot mode, and the colors are awesome.
Not to mention Path Finder is female – and yet she isn’t pink or wearing high heels or sexualized at all!
I think the way GoBots integrated multiple female characters into the line without stereotyping is one of the toyline’s greatest (and most overlooked) legacies.
I LOVED Path Finder as a kid, and am now reminded that need to get her back into my collection soon!
