    Wow... this is both good and bad news for Seeker Completionists.

    Good if they love Seekers, and didn't pay aftermarket prices for some of these...

    BAD if they did pay aftermarket.

    Ugh, bums me out. Really want and need Ramjet, but there's no way I can justify this set or the other one (still need Skywarp, too).

    Nope, you're wrong I'm afraid.

    The way they have them painted here is exactly how they were on the show (other than the lack of knee details).

    Ramjet: gray fists, white forearms, gray legs, gray waist, white stomach
    Dirge: gray fists, gray forearms, gray legs, gray waist, gray stomach
    Thrust: gray fists, gray forearms, red legs, red waist, red stomach

    They never had exact matching details on the cartoon.

    Damn, that Ramjet looks good! The lack of white bits on the hands makes him even more cartoon-accurate than the Henkei version.

    I hope China use some Moulds in a way that isn't just accurate deco's it's also creative ones.

    For example I'd rather like to see Hauler be made and Detritus and also just general toys that have not got much repaint love like DOTM Skyhammer for example.

    I'll stick to my Hasbro coneheads that I've been collecting since 2006.

    I wish they would have added some ankle tilt or articulated fingers to make it worth the price they're asking for.

    LoL Good News Chinese Market. You get 20% less paint compared to Takara or Hasbro Edition Coneheads for multiple times the price!!! You can get Hasbro Coneheads for Under 50$ all three but no matter! We will still release them....

    Pass Pass Pass.........

    For those who missed out and want this set, I'm glad these are being produced. For me, this is an extremely easy pass. The other Seeker set has some merit since the characters are done in animation-inspired decos, which are significantly different than the existing releases. I don't see much difference between these to justify even a a small price increase, much less the exclusive pricing.
