Thanks to TFW2005 member Hollywood Hoist for linking us to a new listing for Kre-O figures on Entertainment Earth. The first wave of these figures are called Small Cube, which looks to feature a Ratchet and Prowl reissue of sorts sans the robot modes they originally were designed with. Also pictured in this listing is the Kre-O city line featuring two sets.
Check it out after the jump.

Well I see them in a lot of closeout stores on mass. (TJmaxx, Tuesday morning, ,biglots) So not exactly a grand slam.
Also cityville was somewhat a Zynga tie in. Though I'm not sure how well zynga helped promote the toys. And I often forget that tie in anyway when playing with them.
Maybe its just that their sort of micro scaled rather than minifigure scaled. Or that most sets had some kind of intense monster fight parents would be hesitant to pick up. (the police station with the zombies for example)
Maybe its just that they needed to demo sonic motion a bit better.
lego has far tamer minifigure sized city sets, with more complex builds, and better quality control. And at the original retail price I think the general consumer and not the Hasbro fanatic is going to go with lego almost every time.

I never got Ratchet nor Prowl mini figures. I will get these if the price isn't too bad.

Forget these give us more micro changers

were cityville sets really a fail?

So after the fail of the city line with the mini mini figure their grand plan is more of the mini mini figures that people don't want.

But I wish they were.

Wow.. They must have a large stock of these that didn't sell before for them to reissue these.

Watch as these actually get released outside Asia, but none of the cool new stuff…
(admittedly I'd be a lot more interested if it was Wheeljack or someone else I missed)
Soundwinder
Raging indifference.
When am I getting that Soundwave vs. Ratchet Kreon set? I need that.
f-primusunicron
why not the robot modes -_- i like kreons and all but i still loved the BIG KRE-O robots
Fixedwing
Can't wait! I hope I can find them. I have trouble with a lot of them.

The kreo bodies are exactly the same as they've always been.

Cool. More Kre-o stuff that will never show up in the US.
Interesting, these appear to be the older Oxford molds. I thought Hasbro was no longer working with Oxford, had switched companies and Oxford retained all the old molds. If that is not the case then why did Hasbro change the body for the Kreo figures?

Awesome!

According to Entertainment Earth, there will be some "new" Kre-o sets coming, though it looks like they're reissue of Ratchet and Prowl minus the robot mode. Also included is their city line.
