These things have always been sooo ugly. I dunno who buys them, even. I got a few of the Battle Beasts but they were disappointing.
The Battle Beasts were disappointing, however I can get behind these. That said the lower half of Blaster is pretty bad.
I've got somewhere between 1-2 thousand of them. Suffice it to say, I am the market demographic for these. But I just can't get behind the Transformer ones. Now, the GI Joe mates? I am completely down for all of those.
I have hundreds, maybe thousands of minimates. I have always loved their style and usually loads of cool accessories. These guys are no different. It is definitly a style to get used to. However, espeically with Marvel, it is great to get so collectible and well done figures at so small and so cheap. I feel the same for these. I got the first box, and these are amazing. It will be one of the few non-transforming Transformers I will collect.

They are far from the best mini-figs of these guys, but one of my head cannons is the Cons keep Tripticon entertained with headmaster sized dolls.
The design on Blaster and Soundwave certainly looks like it would hinder the legs, especially Blaster. I have G.I.Joe set on order, but I like characters choices better for the Transformers.
I'm getting a little worried. I was hoping for the mini Blaster but images on BBTS and such don't seem to include it. Its not in the description either. Wtf
