I already have my preorder in for the random case of 8. I just want 1 of each and sell off the rest. Mostly what drew me to this was the possibility of having a proper WST Ultra Magnus. I'm dissapointed by the fact that the awesome details on these things are really stickers, but if they do stick well then I suppose it won't be too big a problem. Plus, since I'll have multiples, I could try my hand at painting them.

 

Only through us importers.

 

Those are tiny Classics toys! O.O I so want Magnus! Bah, the 3 actually but i already have the other 2 in Deluxe and voyager size.  

 

Those are very neat I do wish they'd molded Ultra Magnus in full colour though with the frames having the correct parts - the correct colour, having to paint his cab white is going to be tricky as are the white parts. - Perhaps they are best sprayed.

Magnus being 11cm makes him not only a really decent size but small enough to possibly complement THS-02 or Worlds Smallest or Legends Optimus Prime / G1 Convoy.

I've longt thought it would be nice if you could get bigger characters in smaller sizes as I enjoyed what Takara did in Robotmasters with that idea.

So these look like they will be a similar idea. They also are rather nostalgic as they remind me of the Kabaya kits of the 80's like the tiny Bruticus one for example.

It's nice they they do have the details moulded in place if you do want to paint them.

And Prowl looks like he's basically a new scout you make yourself. all be it one with wheels that don't turn around.

 

I want that Magnus!

 

The whole thing is a downsized Titanium - except that they've solved the stupid-arm-positions problem and grumpy-old-man head, the only two things that stopped me buying the Titanium UM in the first place.

Good as bought

 

Those a pretty cool, though I think I'd prefer to paint on most of the detail myself rather than use stickers. That could just add to the fun.  

 

I must have that Ultra Magnus if only to display him with Metroplex. Finally the "City Commander" isn't as tall as the city! I'm very satisfied that the photographer took before and after pictures in regards to the stickers. Its amazing how much detail they add to these things.

I must admit to not knowing much about these guys apart from you assemble them yourself. Do they transform? How well articulated are they?

 

They do transform, yes. Some disassembly/reassembly to switch between modes may be necessary. How much depends on the toy. As far as articulation goes, they vary on that. Usually elbows and shoulders that can move back and forth are a given. Head, hip and knee articulation is a maybe, anything further is purely luck.

 

I probably should. I was actually interested in Star Sabre at the time. Were there any problems with him which made the Primes better choices?

Kabaya Jetfire would probably fit just right in Metroplex's aircraft hangars too.

 

I would love the Magnus but I know somehow he won't be for sale for a price I would liek to pay, it will be some crazy inflated price.

 

 

passed on wave 1 but most def getting these. seem like decent WST replacements.

 

where can you order these?
i am thinking about grabbing Prowl, Jetfire and UM.

edit: i typed in the wrong thing- found em at BBTS.
*D'oh! lol*

 

had mine on preorder for ages at Big Bad, cant wait wave one was great.

 

BBTS got these in today. Enough to push down the POL button? Oddly... it might be.

 

My POL Temptation went up quitea bit when I saw these drop as well. I don't even HAVE a display right now where that Magnus would make sense, yet he seems like the solution to a problem I don't even comprehend...
