    These are smaller. 6cm, about the size of their bumblebee. And they look way better than anything HasTak makes.

    I can't agree that they look BETTER but they look comparable, though the scale kills it for me so nope, lol.

    For me there's just no point in buying a whole new scale other than Masterpiece and Classics ranges.

    These aren\'t going to be $90 for the set, are they? If so, I\'ll wait for upscaled KOs.

    Yeah, if you're not a Legends Scale collector, it wouldn't make much sense to buy these tiny insecticons.

    These are neat I guess, but uh, who are they for?

    I guess if you're exclusively into Legends, sure. But the official ones did the job just fine. And at $65 a set that's a bit pricy for army-building.

    The unofficial names always get me, though. They're named after the lord of locusts (Abaddon/Kickback), which is somewhat fitting...but Berial (Shrapnel) is another name for Satan, and Asmodeus (Bombshell) is the demon of lust.

    ...okay!

    I mean ya? That's what New Age does.

    Contrary to popular belief, the world does not revolve around MP collectors.

    I got the 3 Fans Toys Insecticons way back in 2016 (quickly becoming a Fans Toys junky. Insecticons, Perceptor, Hot Rod, Springer, Arcee, Kup, Skyfire, Grimlock, (Blurr paid for), Galvatron, Cyclonus, Sixshot, Weirdwolf, Mindwipe, (Blitzwing & Skullcruncher paid for). Plus deposits on Beachcomber, Brawn, Warpath, Trailbreaker, & Astrotrain. :D  I guess i missed out on Roadking aka Motormaster ugh.

    But anyways these newage Insecticons remind me of micro FT- Insecticons. Those are works of art so this is good thing. I like the purple versions better then the toon versions here, but i have a toon/gunmetal Bombshell for FT.

    I guess that's better for a trio of Insecticons this size.

    Why even bother looking at threads for figures that are obviously not for you then?

    NewAge makes legends scale figs. From here on out don’t bother.

    Thanks, @Charlock !
    The black-and-white logo you found is quite clear, but I was looking for something maybe thrice or four times the size. I'm thinking of printing a shirt that says, "New Age Girl." :rolleyes:

    Yeah, I haven't been able to track down a larger one yet.

    Edit: Digging through their weibo might be a good place to look. 微博
