3rd Party group, Igear has sent out their latest newsletter. Within it’s contents Igear reveals a new red colored Kup head. This head is intended for the recently released in Canada, GDO Deluxe Swerve figure. No word on when this will be released or how limited it will be just yet. Also in the update are the next two Mini Warriors in package. MW-03 UFO and MW-04 Hench will be shipped at the end of this month. Lastly, in the same pictures as the Mini-Warriors is a picture of their Black Rager repaint in package. For those wanting to get a sense of size of the new Mini Warriors, compare the packaging between the Black Rager and MW-03 and 04.

Been waiting as well. Even sent them about 4 separate emails hoping for an update but nothing. Not sure what the deal is.
Though I guess that their focus is mostly on the minibots for the time being. But SOMETHING is better than nothing. Really ercking me.

Okay, it took FOREVER, but I finally found a Swerve toy. Now iGear can release their red KUP01 head!

That's Red Solo Kup to you, sir.

The red head looks good. (SG KUP)

I have less cups in my entire home than that guy has kups on his table. lol

If the price is right($15-20), ill pick this up. Put some con reprolabels and turn him into an Evil Kup.

That head actually looks really good in red and black.
Solo Kup. Love it.
Jerrymiru
WOW. This has taken SO long I thought that it was scrapped. I even emailed igear repeatedly with no replies.
Glad to see that it may actually happen. But hope that this is not just a tease though.

I always thought Solo Kup looked neat. Might have to track down a swerve if this comes out.
daimchoc
Nice. I hope it comes out.

Some pictures of the red Kup 01 8 (or, as I call him Teaspoon, Cybertron's chief dishwasher) have appeared online recently. Maybe this will come out?
bigpink
Still want… if I can get it then it will help me justify the iGear Veer.

I emailed iGear about a week ago for some sort of update. But alas, nothing.

That would have been great, but the IDW head for GDO's Swerve would have competed with iGear's own MW Swerve.
There was a very good head shown by Venksta, but for some reason it wasn't intended for production. I'm still hoping that someone on Shapeways or maybe Dr Wu comes up with an IDW facesculpt.

I have a feeling this is not going to happen. Too bad. It's a great idea. It would have been better if the head was retooled to actually resemble swerve and not Kup.
I guess it could be an infected Kup. From the last episode in season 3 where everyone was infected with that hate virus thing and they all had that red glow or something.
I digress.
But it has been very quiet on the iGear front. Something has to be in the pipeline over there. Again, I don't think the red Kup heads will be it. But it is iGear and it is hard to guess what they will be doing.
cylor
Never heard of it again. Which is not surprising, as iGear has a habit of teasing stuff and not make it happen.
bigpink
Any update on the Red Head? I want that… I want to make a "Teaspoon".

I got my Swerve specifically because of the red head, so I really hope they do it. And it doesn't cost $30.
Jerrymiru
I keep checking the sites but nothing. Not even a word for release date. I think iGear is focusing more on the mini warriors and put it on the back burner. Which sucks because I'm waiting on it. Already got my Swerve ready.
