    I have Optimus and Megatron. They're pretty cool. They feature ball jointed shoulders and hips and have waist, neck and wrist swivels. The flashlight, while tiny is pretty damned bright. The figures are pretty big, too. They come up to around the neck of a GI Joe figure.

    The promotion works like this: Every $60 NTD you spend (about $2 US) gets you a sticker. Collect six stickers and pay $49 NTD and you can get a figure. Or, you can collect 30 stickers and get the figure for free.

    The only downside is they're blind-packed. I'll be exchanging some stickers today, so if I get a second OP or Megs, anyone who's interested can have it.

    Actually, I posted one earlier yesterday here
    Guess I posted the wrong place, oh well lol
    Anyway, I think it is a cool collection, hehehe:

    Although they are blind packed, they are shipped in a bag that contains the whole set of 5 figures. So if you collect 30 stickers, you can ask the clerk to give you a whole set (ask for the unopened bigger package), this way you won't get repeat ones.

    Do you think the battery can be removed?

    What eabevella said. The screw is on the back of the figure.

    Whoa! I was scared for a second...Scanning through the headlines my eyes at first only picked up "danglers revealed" in the headline and it freaked me out!

    These have been on ebay for at least a week, but I didn't realize they were legit. I just assumed they were some cheap Taiwanese junk. This makes me happy!!

    Sweet, just got Starscream. I think I just want Bumblebee and then I'll be done. Unless they do a second assortment.

    My cousin-in-law in Taiwan just got a full set of these. Hopefully she can get me a set too as they actually just let her buy a full set rather than redeeming the stickers.

    kinda dumb.

    Why not just buy the keychain part in any hobby shop or arts and crafts store and turn your pre-existing Kreons into keychains? *shrugs*

    Because then your kreons are forever keychains, and not normal, playable kreons.

    Also, these are a hell of a lot larger.
