    I think the main factors of wether or not I will consider picking them up (since that design is great) is price and how they actually look in scale.

    Sorry to have fouled your mood. These are toys. It isn't worth it to get upset over them. I hope you have a great day.

    It all depends if the price matches up with the cost. Otherwise, these look great, but I like Ironhide more so if I pick one up it will be him.

    Keepin' it real, bro... every time you post, you make me want less and less to buy iGear products. I don't know if it's because you're a blatant shill, but you turn me off to your products.

    Good eye. Yeah Wing Saber is right. These are old pics you guys are seeing. The CG renders. That's why I posted last night I was gonna just upload all the pics I have of the unpainted protos but was told not yet. :( 

    now before people cry foul this is no smoke and mirrors. The real deal looks just as good if not better. Alot of detail in the mold and everything lines up clean in alt mode. That foot transformation is the same in the unpainted proto.

    As for the repaints, hmmm not sure if I can say this, but yeah we will get Ratchet and Ironhide repaints and retools I guess they're called. With new heads and new paint representing new characters. From what I've seen pretty cool. Some popular some obscure. Haha.

    Price is still being decided, but as I stated before expect them to be around FP Warnot Defender price. Roughly.

    Hmmm I think that's it for now. Also wanna say again PP-05 is Ratchet and Ironhide.

    It's too bad these are out of scale with classics, because I would replace the garbage ones we got with these in a heartbeat.

    I'll still buy 'em, just not sure where they'll fit in.

    Fuck yes.

    The legs look a tad kibbly, but who cares, it's a decent G1-style deluxe Ratchet.

    Also no die-cast please. That would be a deal breaker for sure.

    Pretty nice looking. Not perfect G1 representations, they are more like the newer comic versions, but still very good. I would have to say that I don't really like Ironhide's face from what I can see. Looks all smushed or something. Other than that, great job! I suggest doing more non-copy work in the future!

    Awesome!!! I can't wait for these to come out. Finally another Ratchet toy to match my van other than the original G1. Awesome Job!

    You may not need a lesson on WHERE toys are made but you do need one on how China works. China runs factories 24/7. That does not mean one company in one factory but multiple companies doing different things in the same company, in shifts. It is already known to those that pay attention that one of the 3rd party groups works out of the same factory Takara does.

    Before you try to make an arguement and act all smart about it, do a little research. Your facts are not actual fact!!!!

    Actually it puts them 1" TALLER than Classics Prime not shorter.

    I only posted once here...when did we go tit for tat? If we did, all I can say is...I WAS RIGHT LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOOL!!!!!!!

    He did say he would post pics but when he went to ask permission he was told to hold off until after the reveal. This weekend. Then Max states he will be posting all the pics he has been admiring for months.

    You see that piece that fold in the back? Animated Bumblebee does that. This thing is just another complete rip off. And look at those forarms...all my damn Transformers have forarms, CAN'T iGEAR MAKE ANYTHING ORIGINAL!!!!

    if you didn't catch it, that was sarcasm!!!!

    You must be new to 3rd party. $40 - $50 gets you a scout sized figure if you are lucky. These things will be around the $85-$95 price range.

    Oh the price of pretty.

    Ok so after reading through 21 pages I got this to say.

    PEOPLE, READ A DAMN THREAD!!!!

    How many times does the height question need answering. Someone posted a pic with a ruler and Classics WJ. Someone else mentioned that it should be quoted and posted every few pages. I thought the person was talking smack...little did I know they were right. READ PEOPLE!

    About the actual toys. Everything I expected and we still haven't seen the add on that are supposedly awesome. Although, when I speak, I may sound like I will be jumping in blind to purchase these, that is not the case. As with every other logical person here, QC will factor in to my decision. Price has already been said to be around Warbot range.

    And I read a couple of times that these guys were over hyped. We have just been shown pretty much exact copies of G1 Ironhide and Ratchet in transforming toy mode. How the hell can you over hype that????
    If you can do better and make it work, go for it, the fandom will buy your product in droves. My guess is that those people are just jaded because either
    1. Their pride won't allow them to change their veiws on iGear
    2. They are simply angry because they can't afford 3rd party items and 3rd party items are so fucking sweet.

    That is all for now but it is no surprise that I will be very active in this thread lol

    Thanx

    From the sounds of it they won't be in scale with Classics. Personally I don't like my Ironhide and Ratchet towering over any bot other than a minibot. I still hold on to hope that they will display nicely with my Alternators.

    Other than that these will fit in with Faith Leader,MP-10 (I'm pretty sure the new prime is the same height as Faith Leader) and the rest of the PP line.

    Word is that the PP line will be big and in scale with one another. So get ready to start a new collection of G1 inspired toys.

    These look incredible! I strongly disliked the classics/generations version of Ironhide and Ratchet that came out, and these look much better than those molds. I am always conflicted buying third party stuff, but I suppose I'll break down and order these

    Wow, just saw the picture of the legs, LOVE the engineering and 'gearage' added onto the inside, creates a lovely look and a lot of detail.
    Also, must ask this, but will I be the only one to be repainting Ratchet's head to his comic coloration? (comics fan^^) My apologies if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, I read through but will admit to having skipped over the frothing and such and may have missed a post on said repainting as a result, as I wish to avoid an argument if I can. I like many 3rd party products, I understand there there are others who do not. To each their own^^
    My guess is (so long as there is no diecast, IHopeIHopeIHope none) 75-95 price range. They should cost a bit less than the seekers due to the smaller size - but with the nifty little wrist attaching gadgets the price may go back up.
