    Lets get this party started again!

    Have been picking up lots of the newer kabaya kits recently, I think these offer really good value and in some cases (not all) scale quite well with my WST.

    Also, got hold of a few of the vintage kabaya choco kits namely Galvatron, Cyclonus, Wheelie & Brawn so I will have some fun making these up shortly!

    So made up kabaya choco galvatron last night and couldn't resist setting him up with unicron and have them strike a pose. Overall, I am happy with him and he will make do until I can get hands on a wst galvatron.

    Hey guys :)  I started a new Kabaya Transformers Site and wanted to pass the news on.. Its just your basic site to show off the different kits both new and vintage.. It's got a page for the newer kits , vintage kits, customs and I also have a page for scans of the boxes and instructions.. I thought having the instructions would be helpful for those that buy the kits on ebay without a box or if the person doesn't want to rip open the box to see the instructions that can just check them out there. And ill probably add a page for news on upcoming stuff.

    I know there are places all over google that you can find pictures of the figures but they seem to be scattered all over and i wanted to make a site where it is all in one place.

    It is also a site where everyone can add to it. If there is a figure or that's not already listed on the site and you have it and would like to share some pics of it you can contact me and send me the pics and i will post them up in it's own gallery.
    Scans or photos of the vintage boxes and instructions would also be great.. Anything vintage i will add a water mark to so they can not be taken and used for KO kits. Anyone that wishes to add to the site will have their names and or screen names added with their pictures or i will make a separate page to list everyone who's added to the site. Please only add photos that you own ..

    Check it out and see what you think. It is nothing fancy but i think its cool and i hope some like it enough to add too it :) ..

    Kabaya Transformers

    Thanks :)

    Very nice! I love archives! In fact I'm putting one up for my collection myself.

    I've got some photos of the vintage Kabaya Seacons on my HD. Been meaning to re-take them when I get hold of the recent release. If you are interested, I can send them over to you when I'm done.

    Here's an example of one of the old photo from the set

    That would be awesome to add to the vintage section. I have seen your pics of this before and wish i had this version of the seacons lol. I got the newer set and also made a gift set box for them lol .. But yeah any Kabayas you have and would like to add pictures of to the site would be great.. Id like to be able to build a nice little collection of everything past and present.. I am thinking of even adding a section for other Blind Box figures like the PVC figures and milk cap figures and such..

    So I never picked up any Kabaya kits before. But I'm tempted to now, I know there are the Kabaya Block Wars kit and the Transformers Adventures kit as more recent stuff. There was never any announcement of Kabaya kits for the Japanese version of RID Combiner Force was there?

    I've been a fan of Kabaya kits for a decade now.

    Up until Titans Return, Kabaya Highbrow, Weirdwolf and Mindwipe were my representatives of those characters.

    Took years to find Weirdwolf. I like how they scaled with G1 Scorponok and Snapdragon.

    I must finish painting Blaster. I have that Road Caeser set. Gripper looks great though I'd prefer if they were scout size.

    I know that making model kit KOs of molds is fairly popular so its probably that.

    I had a super deformed Grimlock (T-rex mode, non-transformable) from a snack box when I was a kid. I think it was a kabaya, wonder if anybody else had it too?
