    That black truck reminds me of SteelCore.

    Most of them look pretty good, the red car and the black truck are my favorites

    Yes, I use normal colored copy paper. Look for a hot-pink or fuschia color rather than the pastel pinks. I find that common copy paper (20lb density) provides the ideal thickness to allow maximum light to bleed through, yet thick enough to appear uniform. Hope that helps!

    What are those figures? They kind of look like they borrow from other toys... but they've resculpted some parts heavily to have this cohesive look to them. Got a gray Strongarm that looks almost identical to the RID Strongarm's engineering... That one SWAT truck looks like it's based off Rook, and a few others looks like FP Stunticons, even... then there's the Veyron that sort of looks like it was originally the Movie Drift? The fem-jet is unfamiliar to me. That black truck with trailer looks sweet!

    INNNNNNNTERESTING....

    I'd like to see some actual in-hand pics/reviews. The promo images can be misleading, and I'm curious to see what the toys are actually like.

    Really like the jet mode of the female one, the head and arms look a bit weird though

    - Copy the URL of the page with the cheaper price.
    - Create an account at SirToys/Login.
    - Select "want list".
    - Paste the URL in the relevant box, at the top.
    - Write " Price match, please ", followed by the price at the other site.
    - Wait for a reply.

    I can't guarantee he will match every price, such as ones at by private sellers, but you never know.

    Yeah, the size does kind of kill my interest in the car ones. Would still definitely try picking up some of the other vehicles if I could.

    :lol  Paul, you really need to put your bots in more dynamic poses for your store pics. You have to show off whatever articulation they have! :D
