Daelite20 from AcesToyStore had a restock of these recently (not sure if they're sold out again or not). That's where I got my set. It's pretty pricy for what you get but the likeness to the G1 characters is spot on (Sparkplug is a little short compared to Spike but that's a minor quibble). But if you want Human Alliance type figures for your MP and/or Classics, this set is great. And yes, they can stand up by themselves.
Question for those that have this set: can you swap legs between the two figures? The taller Spike is the only thing holding me back on buying this.
RK have these again: [Dr Wu] DW-P06 Partners Rerun. Pre-order, available April 2014. Just put down my pre-order
Considering the popularity of this set, I'm surprised Dr. Wu hasn't already produced some more followup characters like Chip and Carly. I'd love to have all the main human characters from the series to pose with my MP transformers.
Wu did make a Dr Arkeville figure which was not in scale with the Partners. Was a bit too big. But yeah, I'd totally like a Chip figure, wouldn't say no to a Carly either. Which other human figures could they take on? Can't really remember any other important figures (pardon the pun). Maybe Nebulons? Wouldn't touch that though.
Didn't some 3rd party company recently hint that they are producing "Old Snake" (Cobra Commander's cameo in TF)? I can't seem to find the thread here that mentioned it.
I've got chip from the not goldbug, but would love a Carly. I need one more to man all the stations in Mp 10's trailer.
Anyone heard any updates on the re-release? RK took ky money months ago and the month keeps getting pushed back as the month ends (the release date on their pre-order page).
Got these guys. They look great. Can't really get them to stand. Soarkplug showed up missing an arm. Tfsource sent a replacement. Chip would be great. What I really want is for them to be in scale with the human alliance figures. A bit big but better detail and articulation.
these are in stock now at chimummung.com i received mine last weak and love them also, does anyone know if these will scale nicely with artfeather Chip?
I got AF Chip all by his lonesome from Chimungmung and they do indeed scale well with him (although he likes to tip over). It's a shame Dr. Wu made Arkevil so much larger than these. I'd have really liked to have him with the Decepticons.
