    Wow, there are definitely similarities. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are indeed based directly on them.

    Even more so when compared to the LED Power ODIN ( as opposed to the Magne Power Odin). Ths version boast the same ball jointed shoulders and elbows.

    Anyway...i dig the slight resemblance (at half the size!).

    *Squints eyes*....

    Yes.

    Yes I see it.

    We're getting a de facto 35mm tall microman / micronauts line.


    I support this lol.

    When will there be a actual release? I like the original heads and such rather than the microman homages. Will there more options for heads as well the weapons and armor?

    That absolutely looks like it's inspired by half each of the AcroJekyll/Hyde figures, imho:

    It would be neat if they are making mini Micronauts figures. They would be great companions to the mini Rom Targetmaster figure I am making that turns into a TF sized Neutralizer.

    I was working on some update kits to turn Kreons into Micronauts and Targetmasters. I might have to adapt them for these bodies.

    I really wish these were popping up (for preorder) at more stores. I have no experience with Robot Kingdom, and the little feedback I have seen for them leaves me hesitant to order there.

    I thought I would only want the 3 non-skull sets, but honestly, the skully ones have grown on me, so I will probably order each set.

    I do wish they had produced an orange and a purple color version.

    Robot Kingdom have always served me well. The only drawback is their high shipping costs.

    Do these give the same money's worth as MFT's KO Diaclone suits?

    I would like to see more vehicles, transports and bases from x2toys.

    Original IP toy lines is the way to go.

    I got in a pair of these Saturday and have tried to mod one to be a HeadMaster but it's not really satisfactory. One of the plastics (and I think it's the Trooper himself) doesn't really melt with the superglue so the PrimeMaster face is just 'mortared' in place and has cracked off 3 times now. It's possible to do some filing and filling to get the Trooper closer to the normal HeadMaster's volume, and the Trooper's head fits nicely enough in an HM neck socket once some filing of the ears and sides is done; but I dunno if it's really worth all the effort it's obviously going to entail.
