Robot Kingdom Update - 2/2/2012

Robot Kingdom sent over an update regarding a price change on the TFP Arms Microns:
We have revised the price for the TRANSFORMERS PRIME ARMS MICRON Capsule Toy Sealed case of 300. It is US $899.90 now, please update the news as soon as possible.
And, they also let us know about a new product line they will be carrying from ORITOYS which is a mecha vehicle line in scale with 3 3/4ths figures and has premium paint decos. Check out the full description for that after the break.

ORITOY

Since this is our first update on TFW2005, we would like to introduce you a new line of products.

Here are the items from a new company ORITOYS.

According to their description, these items are built by ABS, PVC and other types of plastic. However, with a new technology of painting, they can paint them with the same color tone of die cast.

As you can see from the photos, the robots are transformable and can fit 3.75” figures inside. It is around 8 to 10 inches tall. Our staff have tried it on my hand, although the transforming structure is simple, the painting provide a feeling of luxury.

Joint are built with ratchet, easy to move, and tight enough to stand. The articulation depends on the structure of the robot. It can perform many action poses similar to the transformers series you are all familiar with. Although it is fully made of plastic(except the screws), it is as heavy as a die cast robot.

The producers have already created a storyline for these items, but they are still keeping them in secret. Of course, we want to keep away from spoilers too.
From their appearance we can estimate these robots appear in a world that have a similar technology level with our world, carrying weapons like machine guns and missile. If you love realistic type robots, surely you cannot miss them!

Since the paint job is complicated, the quantity available for each items will be limited.

We will be carrying this item in the future.

Recently they are still modifying the molds to make it perfect, so if you guys are interested and would like to comment on it, please post on our facebook group and we will refer the comments to them.

Stay tuned and there will be more updates in the future!

Looks awesome, but since I don't know anything about it or any fiction associated with it, it's not for me.
Great to see RK news though

$899.90...

First the First Editions become cancelled/rare/scalped/sold for fucktons of money
Then the Takara-Tomy editions become rare/scalped/sold out
Now the mini-cons will run you almost $900 since you cannot currently buy them separately

Yep, I'm just gonna hold off on Prime like I did with Animated. If they hit discounters, they hit discounters. If they don't then, Meh.

No, no, What I mean is I pretty much ignored the Animated toy line except for about 10(?) figures.

My plan was to get the best toy representation/version of each character put out, but given the current situation of PRIME toys (especially the FE), I'm just gonna sit back and see what happens with it. If I find any I want, then I'll pick them up.

Ah, I gotcha. Ditto on sitting back.

I'll probably save my cash for some CHUG and Bot Shots.

I'm gonna save my cash until all the bullshit settles. People should be able to find these products for purchase at retailer prices, especially the First Editions.

Right now I think it's just not a good time to jump into the new line. It seems everyone and their mother has their minds set on "OMG new toy craze!" selling the toys for crazy prices, and buying them at crazy prices.

If the FE's finally show up in stores then I'll pursue them, but right now it seems like a lost cause.

Now enough with the PRIME talk and let's discuss these Mechas!

Love them, paint apps look like 3A. Def keep the info here and update us when RK knows price and release schedule.
soymonk
I don't see any shots of them with paint apps but holy crap! Some of em can combine?!
Orodruin
Heard about the large figures on Preorder 66, really impressed by those. Not so sure about the little Targetmaster style things, but if they're just $4 each I'll probably try one or two.
RedAlert Rescue
Oh well my dreams of 0.30c microns didn't last very long.

It looks like that ORI TOY mech toyline will be named Acid Rain and will be a collaboration with a artist/design studio named skronex. I found a few more pictures (with an information about the release date being during summer) and a glimpse of the background story:

First I went to HTTP://WWW.oritoys.com but that site just makes KO toys.

It would be nice if you could break up a box of Microns. Say 10 Microns for $30. More people might bite.
Optimist_Prime
I'm getting a big "Fallout 3" vibe from those things. I like it.

I'm sure the retailers will buy the cases and break them up.
