Reason I was stating that price mark is look at the insecticons. Their about five inches tall with somewhat complicated transformations and a decent but small amount of extras. MMC seems to have simpler transformations (that I can compare only with KMA and FP products) which is why I was assuming they'd be priced around insecticons. MMC is thankfully a company that doesn't go overboard on pricing like PE or IGear, and I tend to look on the positive side instead of the negative.

 

Just to clarify CYCLOPS is $139.00 at Robot Kingdom. You can not hold MMC responsible if NA sites want to jack up profits.

 

Which is why I pre-ordered mine from RK. If the seekers end up being the same situation I'll still order from RK.

 

Umm...isn't just about EVERYTHING cheapest at Robot Kingdom? Seems that way to me. =P

 

I didn't see anything about prices, but there's a post on their facebook page saying that there's now gonna be 3 versions of this mold, or at least of the Air Screech incarnation.

 

It'd be cool if they did offer Air Screech in three available class sizes, which would give collectors a lot of purchase options. I personally like the HoS Seeker design very much but not enough to justify spending loads of money on a giant Leader-ish+ sized figure. If I wanted to get all three Seekers as a set, then that's cash times three. A Scout, Deluxe or Voyager is much more doable and easier on the wallet for sure.

 

I think that's the idea they had (especially since they've already mentioned multiple uses of the mold in the future), and its probably more cost effective than designing 3 totally new characters. Like, even if they're not simply differently scaled, much of the engineering & marketing will coexist, so ideally that'll work toward a lower price as well.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I just didn't think to look there since the title said it was about a different figure & posted shit in here.

 

I may try to get one of these... Probably Starscream or Thundercracker. I love Starscream's guns, but I like Thundercracker's colors better... I'll probably end up getting neither of them though!  

 

Are all 3 available at the 9 inch size? If so, I want them all like that.

 

i really need prime redone at that size

 

These figures do look amazing, and I am a fan of the Hearts of Steel concept (still trying to track down the comics  ), but if I get one of these Hearts of Steel figures I'll have to get the others... I really do like that Thundercracker, and Shockwave looks pretty awesome too... maybe I'll just get those two to "test the waters", so to speak. If I like those two I'll collect them all, if I don't like those two I'll sell them... I think I'll be collecting them all.  
Edit: Are all three going to be available in the smaller sizes?

 

I have the HoS Optimus Prime, he's worth it...definitely gonna be getting these Seekers!

 

When Captured Prey had the starscream prototype on display at Botcon they said that there was probably only going to be one size - the three sizes was either a joke, a mistake, or something that wasn't translated right.

 

All three?!

I might as well get a mortgage on these...

 

Are they still on track for a Fall (or earlier) release?

Love the sig, seali me

 

Thanks.

I think Fall 2012.

I think my interest in 3rd party products is already peaking. Too many and too expensive.

 

Mine peaked a while ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that there are options available, but now it's gotten a bit overbearing. It was easier to handle when there were maybe one or two every 6 months. These three are definitely making the list, however, no matter what other toy purchases I have to delay.

 

Mine just started with the Devastators...

30$ each or no go.  

Maybe yeah I'll delay this for a (very) long time or finally sell the wife's dog.
