the sculpts are pretty cool on these guys, but I'm not a fan of their static nature. do you know if they'll release these guys in the regular articulated versions? I'm an articulation junkie.

if they released the smaller figures with the same articulation and light up gimmicks as the first prime minus the removable armor (I don't care much for that feature), that'd be the perfect combo for me.

 

full color images of painted figures and release dates has been posted up on their facebook page! so apparently the figures will come in a box set of 5 figures and will have LED lights

taken from their facebook page:

it looks like this line will adapt the name "TRANSFORMERS KIDS NATION" and will only feature light up eyes from what's posted up. the scale of grimlock is perfect!!! the description also states that this is "series 1" so im guessing we can look forward to more bots coming soon

a black convoy figure will also be available for "special markets" whatever that means but i sure as hell want it

TRANSFORMERS KIDS NATIONS SERIES TF01 SPECIAL EDITION, BLACK CONVOY. (This item will be sold for selected markets only)

 

Just seen these a few minutes ago on Facebook. Yep I'm getting all of them. Just need a place and a price. Dam they look good!

 

same here these figures are awesome, although i'm looking forward more for the 6" ones. if the minifigures are in scale like these i can only image how big grimlock will be in the 6" scale size. hands down great figures

 

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss!!

 

...I wonder what the pricing will be.

 

The 3 inch that I got was right at $20. I figure the 5 pack somewhere around $100 to $120. Just a guess though. And that's for the set of 3 inch.

 

Wow what a revelation! last month I built a chibi optimus prime that transform , using lego . Im waiting for the right time to reveal it coz its alt mode will be jawdropping.

 

Loving Starscream, Soundwave, and Grimlock. Really wish these weren't so expensive as I'm tempted to go in on these guys.

 

that black convoy…

 

I'm going to need that Grimlock.

 

Damn those looks so freaking awesome!! Hopefully future wave 2 include my boy...

 

definitely liking the sculpts but the lack of articulation is gonna be an issue unless I like the price. and why the heck is Bumblebee so tall?

 

For those who don't speak centimeters, these are about 3.5 inches, not in scale with the 6 inch posable metallic one.

 

I found one place offering a PO for these called Angolz.com I think I'll wait till a store I've bought from puts up a PO. This place says $84 for the set plus $12 for black convoy

 

Starscream looks cool

 

Shipping is $36

 

They look cool.

That's about it.

 

they are not posable?
