    Kabaya (as far as I no) has never released anything in the US, let alone something Transformers. So good luck with that. :)

    Ok, seriously... there is something wrong here. You all need to take a deep breath and realize that you are not getting the toys in those pics for $5.

    Those pics of the "toys" appear to be pics of the regular sized toys slapped on the packaging. Even though Henkei Prime has his legs together, that looks like an actual Henkei Prime pic. I'm willing to bet that these images are not even remotely close to what the real toys packed in these candy packs will be like.

    I'm stunned no one else has noticed this.

    My skepticism is on a high right now because this seems WAY too good to be true.

    well of course they aren't the 'proper' toys, they are simplified versions, maybe Legends class, but they still look good enough, especially Star Saber

    Look again,

    Generation One Prime's lower legs are solid blue plastic. The wheels on his legs are stickers.

    These are solid plastic Candy Toys with many detailed stickers on them.

    You didn't quite understand what I said.

    What I am saying is, none of this pics are of the toys that are included in the candy packs. Those are pics of the regular sized toys. At least.. I think they are. Hard to tell with Star Saber because I've never been into that particular character.

    EDIT:

    Ah, that's true. Thanks for pointing that out. I should have seen that myself! And his hands clearly aren't the original.

    That Henkei Convoy looks too much like the regular fig though.

    Aside from the stickers though..
    That's pretty well the same way the WST figures are.

    AS far as I know most of them don't have movable wheels either.

    It's about time Kabaya came out with some new toys. Can't wait to get my hands on those Primes... of course, they'll probably wind up being like $20 a piece with fees and shipping.

    No, if you take a look at that Henkei Convoy, the arm shields are molded in red, the gun is molded in cream, and the windvane is all one piece and hollow. New mold, 100%.

    The G1 Convoy looks to be a slightly simplified version of the WST one, and the Star Saber is apparently a simplified version of the Robot Masters one.

    From what i've noticed in the picture, it seems that they're 'Legends' class maybe? mostly from the amount of detail thats been put into them, and with the figures having peg holes for the weapons etc, or i could be wrong, never know till we get our hands on 'em!

    Well, if a case of 8 is purchased, they come out to be a little over $5 with shipping and since I'm only interested in the 2 Primes, if anyone wants to split a case....Check my feedback here via the link in my sig. and you'll see that I'm good for it. If anyone wants in, PM me and we can hash out the details.
