    These are garage kits that were sold at Wonder Festival on 19 Feb.

    I believe these are reissues and were sold at previous WonFes too.

    Awesome! Thanks!:thumb 
    They have the copyright of Tomy (one 2015?)...I wonder how plausible is that we'll see retail distribution of these...
    clearly they are not high-tech, but they are still quite interesting..(they could do with some stickers though!)

    Hopefully they won't be too difficult to find...(cannot actually read the website associated with the pics, and I prefer to avoid Ebay as much as possible...:rolleyes: )

    IIRC, for kits like these, they get a limited time licence to sell at hobby events such as WonFes.

    They are not for mass release.

    Metalhawk and especially Holi have my interest. Pity they won't be made widely available.

    Beware though, they are highly fragile and very expensive.

    EDIT:

    Here's the pricing for the kits at WonFes Winter 2017 that just ended.

    As a huuuuuge Starscream fan (bet you people'd never have guessed that), I like the robot mode...but the alt mode is...iffy. Still, I'd consider it for under 30 bucks.

    retail at the fest was 10000Y. Even if one ever popped up on ebay, it won't be anywhere close to $30.

    I'd love to get this Metalhawk, but I'll happily settle for the Titans Return Metalhawk.

    >Unlicensed fan-made third party toys are easily available on every major etailer

    >Licensed fan-made garage kits are impossible to get unless you were at the event

    WHY IS IT THIS WAY

    I'd love to have that Metalhawk, he looks great (well in robot mode, alt mode not so much) but ain't gonna happen it seems, don't want to pay a fortune for it. Holi looks pretty nice too.

    I like that Stakeout. A line of Micromasters would be nice; a bit more articulation and mix of the original Micromasters with other characters reduced to Micro-scale. They have started making all these city bots; Micromasters are a perfect fit.

    That Hori would look perfect next to MP Star Saber.

    I kinda like the robot modes, but the alt modes looks awful IMO.  Is that what Metalhawks alt mode was supposed to look like???

    These might come out, much later, as KOs.  I think a garage kit of both Cyclonus and Wheelie came out as third party KOs some time ago.

    The altmode for Metalhawk is actually an improvement on his G1/Masterforce release. He was a pretender remember ;)

    Like this actually. I'm guessing they figured out the alt mode after the robot mode was already finished.
