    If these go well with Metroplex I'm all in. Need more small G1-esque figures to populate him.

    Those figures were recently produced and distributed by Goldie, but they were reusing old molds. They were originally produced and distributed by a company in Japan back in 2007, so you can't really use them as an example of quality.

    Only 1 Soundwave in a case. That plus no Jazz and my interest is pretty low.

    I was hoping this was about Hasbro making more G1 mini warriors.

    It says they come with a puzzle piece that forms a 3d puzzle. That will probably be Bumblebee.

    I personally thought that was a great ending. It gives Megatron more character, than just being evil for the sake of being evil.

    In your opinion. I could list a bunch of reasons why in my opinion the Baymovies are 'legitimately not good', that doesn't make the opinions of anyone who likes them invalid.

    In total agreement with Hollywood Hoist with regards to the ending.

    You can never have too much Ratchet.

    Personally, I love little one piece mini-statues. But Robot Heroes style articulation would be nice too.

    Mah bro.

    You cannot judge the whole show based on Predacons Rising. Nothing in Predacons Rising made a lick of sense because it was shoehorned in purely to sell more toys.

    My guess is vinyl figs, like the sdcc, but blind bagged. Pony BBs do well for them yet they have yet to capture that with TF Kreo so I'm thinking they might try to do as with the ponies. For that price I doubt they are hard plastic and transform. My guess anyway and pure speculation.

    UPDATE!

    I asked this on their facebook page:

    And here's their reply:

    So I'm guess we'll see them at Toyfair, but after seeing that the price point lines up with the Mario figures and now a sort-of confirmation from the company (I'm sure there's a date they can't reveal them before), I'd assume they're pretty close to the little mario guys.

    Still, if done well they might be pretty awesome. And the Mario figures get tons of repaints (I have 6-7 different colored Yoshis) we might get quite the collection over the next few years.

    I think most fans will hope for not a whole lot of needless repaints or the same character from the same continuity done over and over again.

    I would like to see a wide variety of characters, but of course they need to get the most out of the moulds they have.

    I was thinking more specifically about getting all the seekers, but you're right.

    Yikes. Uh oh. "Mini Figures"/ Blind Bags harolded in the End of the good My Little Pony toy era... No decent "deluxe" figures, no variety, the same 6 figures...over and over .. the only variety there is in "mini figures", which stink. I hope that doesn't happen here. Just sayin... :(

    I'll buy them since they come with 3D cards.

    Where are people reading that these will be blind bagged at? Seen a couple of people say that now.

    I didn't read that. I'm guessing , because of the price point, that they will be. Makes more sense from a sales pov. Why show what people are getting for 3 bucks a pop when you can make more with them spending until they get them all?
