    They made the ladder and crane arm surprisingly big for figures that don't transform.

    Custom Robots makes highly detailed, non-transformable, scale-agnostic, highly posable 4" figures (if you don't like non-transforming bots, these aren't meant for you). They've already done more than a dozen G1 figures. They run between $35-50 usd depending on where you buy them, and they fit perfectly with the five original official revoltech transformers. I have them all, excluding the diaclone repaints that don't really interest me.

    I ordered the three Datsun brothers from taobao, but they haven't been released yet, so my order is in foreign website limbo. I keep telling myself to patient, but it's tough because these are awesome. CR does a spectacular job. I'm not surprised that they're doing Inferno/Grapple because reuse, but I'll admit, they aren't among my favorite characters. I'll still get them, but I haven't forgotten for the Magnus they showed over a year ago, and the long-standing rumors of a new Prime and Megatron. Those need to get some love before making all the second-tier S2 characters! ;)

    Dammit. I’ve been waiting for a good voyager scale Inferno for my wreckers display, and this is gorgeous, and would definitely fit with the overall IDW aesthetic… but it’s just too small.

    Just pre-ordered Inferno / Grapple from Custom Robots on Taobao. Listing says they will ship in about a month. I'm loving that CR is keeping the pedal down, releasing these at a pretty good pace! I just got the Datsuns three days ago...

    Well, since mine are still in the preorder phase @ taobao, I don't have them in-hand. I suspect that if you have several CR figures, you know what to expect. This will be more of the same, and that's typically a good thing. For people that don't like previous releases, I suspect they won't like these either.

    Neither Grapple nor Inferno are really favorites of mine. But I swore up and down that I'd buy any G1 '84-86 character CR made, and I'm sticking with that. Bring on more!

    I'm hoping your rumor of Trailbreaker/Hoist being next is true. That would leave us only a Jazz and Mirage away from completing the Ark crew, sans minibots.
