Cant wait for all 3 to arrive. Cmon BBTS !!!
The only thing I dont like about them is the painted bright yellow on the chest. It should have been clear translucent plastic. They probally thought they were making them cartoon accurate. But in reality, in the 80's there was no way to color translucent glass in cartoons. The original 3 seekers all had bright solid yellow cockpits in the cartoon. But they still made the cockpits on the figures translucent, right ??? This should have been the case here. Neverless, I still love em.

The photos make the figure look like it has a semi-gloss finish, which FP figures don't seem to normally have(they're usually flat). I think it's just the finish that makes it look off. I have no worries about the durability of the plastic because FP has shown consistently with their previous products that their plastic formulation is durable.
I love the chunkiness of the design. Also, the ninja concept that's part of the fiction of these figures combined with the chunky design tickles my fancy.

Agreed. Block bots plus hand weapons equals just right for me!

Originally they were to be released in consecutive months. It's been a month delay.. So the others will be late August, and late September.

NOW... me Grimlock is very horny on this Insecticon pal! 
Me Grimlock commanded Swoop to do his flying stuff to bring us two of these delicious items from TFscource!
Hope Swoop is back with that very soon.
Me Grimlock will give Thundershred my orders then.
He and his friends will be under Dinobots command, but when he is not agree with Grimlock, I will kick him like a starlite out of this planet!

Isn't anyone else a little disappointed that Fansproject didn't think about chroming these guys weapons?! I still believe that little detail would have put these guys over the edge of awesomeness. They obviously can do it considering the did it with they're Protector armor.
Well anyways I just ordered this one to get a feel for the rest. Depending on this piece I might or might not get the rest of the trio.

If he's not able to sneak around with glinting weapons then he's disgraced his Ninja parents. Ninjas are like Unicorns always there but never seen. Haha.....
Seriously it would have been a nice homage and really eye capturing. Now we just need a second third party to make an up-upgrade on the classic characters.
Would that 2nd third party be called a 4th party? (food for thought)

These pictures almost make him look like he doesn't have wrist swivels.
