    came across this guy on ebay, seems like a pretty cool transformable robot/combiner, has any one any experience with this? designs wise looks much better than the chinese roadbots, but $50 per seems abit high. just checked tube videos on transformation, these guys are pretty big, about the same size as the recent voyagers, guess $50 shipped is not bad.

    One thing I will say about tritan, he is great but his leg articulation sucks, his hip joints just swing forwards and back so no cool legs braced apart in a battle stance poses but he still is damn cool

    So over all I love him! Joints are nice and clicky and he fold up tiny in car mode when you can see he's actually huge! Plastic quality is also really good, a few of the joints are a bit loose but some one with some customising skills could do some really great things with him I think

    Any other picture requests?

    Ebay:
    While checking out some other boards, it looks like the manufacturer wants to expand their market outside of South Korea (they apparently had a booth at Toy Fair).

    They look pretty cool, and if they show up in the US I may try to pick some up if I can find one at a brick and mortar store.

    EDIT: After checking out some Youtube videos, I could definitely see myself picking up the non combiners (especially Tobot R). These guys are huge and remind me a lot of why I love Yuusha/Brave toys so much.

    Yeah, the high import cost is the main reason I haven't gotten one yet. Hopefully a company over here decides to pick them up, so we can get them at a more reasonable cost.
