    I'm jelly. I have two on the way (because repetitive stress injuries to my wrists demanded I get one to leave in car mode for comparisons).

    I love the look of Alonso/Barricade. I usually only buy Masterpiece scale but that little guy is calling me. I’d love to see a G1 Masterpiece version of Barricade that looks like this.

    You and me both. The Siege Barricade figure gives me hope they follow through in Masterpiece and do an MP version too. It looks really good.

    Ordered an Alonzo from Baba (who will ship along with my long-awaited replacement head for X2toys' Skycrusher).
    WHY IS ALONZO SO HOPELESSLY CHIC? I LOVE HIM!

    Because police cars are sexy :oops: !

    And Barricade keeps surviving the Bay movies. The only other Decepticon that can claim that faim is Megatron and he even had to become a human made Galvatron.

    Is the blue bluestreak figure out yet? I've been watching this thread because I want to know how it turns out.

    Im quite upset I can’t really get the original set since I missed out on it. I am glad I got blue Bluestreak though. He’s such a fun little guy. Also he comes with a really high quality collectors card. Like it’s made of thick plastic, similar to a credit card. It’s really nice.

    The variations in color and head sculpts really help give them distinct personalities. Here are the impressions I have for the Datsuns I have:

    Harry (Prowl)
    A handsome, seraphic, chaste angel of justice

    1 PROWL.png

    Maverick (Smokescreen)
    His manchild younger brother who loves noise and boyish colors

    2 SMOKESCREEN.png

    Murphy (Toonstreak)
    An 80s retro-style macho man

    03 BLUESTREAK.png

    Murphy's now an unexpected favorite of mine because I never really paid Toonstreak mind before now. I actually love the blood red accents of robot mode, the prominent tannish-gray color that's slightly metallic, the silver face, the black (or is it dark brown?) hood and roof, and the not-black tires. I also love that the box has an orange (my favorite color), red, and deep brown gradient.

    Was also surprised how much I liked the color on Murphy. Was expecting for Harry to be my favorite of the toon Datsuns.

    Waiting for the rest to see if Murphy is in danger of loosing hir first place, Black Rain is a contender I think.

    I'm going to buy this mold fifty times when all is said and done. Amazing how different they each feel character-wise. Bluestreak is my current fave.

    To be honest I like the Newage Datsuns more than the IF. They are what as a little kid I would have loved to have. As in the saying, good things come in small packages.

    They are in the same realm. You might say they are in the same family. You might say they are the same group of designers.

    On their artwork on the boxes they show Commander Dutch or Emperor Phonas so it seems there is a connection. From this forum and a few online reviews they say they are the same company.

    Haven't seen other DX9 WiP figures in their artwork and they are doing a Megatron, a better Megatron in robot mode in my opinion, haven't seen the gun mode yet. The pictures taken with Optimus are in the same landscape as the ones taken for Dutch.

    Always liked the Shattered Glass color scheme of Optimus, thinking about getting him, afraid I'll than get Plissken and Ranton, not into the translucent Moses.

    They’ve had the DX9 Seekers and Dinobots in their PR shots as well.

    That would be great. Hope it happens. I really want a MP Barricade. I do plan to get this little guy too.

    I caved in and placed an order for Barricade. i avoid repaints / remolds as much as possible (skipped all-silver Bluestreak, and blue Bluestreak), but Barricade...he's too awesome to skip!
