    I agree with the "cartoony" comments. They also look a little too "round" to me.

    You didn't make a mistake, I was just saying that their choice for a name of "Pin Point" is the name of a Mini-Con. YOu think they would give it a non-Hasbro name as a substitute.

    The handles will fit almost any figure with a standard 4mm or 5mm hand. There may be some rare cases where certain newer figures with "open" hands have issues, but that is very rare.

    That will depend on who chooses to carry them once they get solicited. I can guarantee that anything they don't do as an exclusive with a specific store will be offered through Captured Prey though. :D

    Some of the original Targetmasters were not that great looking either. Even humanoid is a step up from blockoid.

    Aimless vs. No Aim

    Blowpipe looks good too.

    The G1 Targetmaster all used standard 5mm holes, I believe.

    I'm glad too see my plea answered.

    Yes.

    From talking with MS, they are intended to be in 3-packs, and I believe the first four are going to be a four-pack. There may also be additional 2-packs or singles that have not been announced yet.

    Aw... they renamed them?

    Shot Piece was an *awesome* name for Kup's Target Master!

    Hope they're a bit more affordable than the Mega Gun and Brown King pair though. If the figures sold at around 10$ each that'd be great. Absolute buy.

    No, they are still making the four they announced before, including Shot Piece, this is an additional six more Targetmas... I mean Mastershooters! There were a lot of G1 Targetmaster toys they need partners.

    Hahaha i totally love the names they gave these little guys and the "descriptive" piece under their names. It's just enough to remind us their actual G1 names and their respective partners. I totally love it.

    So the question is, from whom should i order them from and when?

    I am so stoked for these. The Megatron one they started with was good. And the quality of these definitely looks better. And they are far cheaper than the takara exclusives, with accurate coloration to boot.
