*Sigh*

Updates the list...

Okay, so these probably beat the FOC Combaticon repaints... but they don't totally hit it for me. I think it's the lack of traditional big feet and ape-like proportions that turn me off. However, it's clear that this company put a lot of G1 love into this design. Still pretty cool.

I'm intrigued.

I hate to ask this.. But the question in my mind is: are these guys really so essential-- and in that is this more g1-inspired homage also so essential-- that a significant number of people will opt to hold out and pay more for them than just wait until spring to pick up the Hasbro versions..?

I mean, not saying one way or the other here. These guys look great, and if the price is right.. who knows?
