Man, I really wish I could get Star Saber, but he's just too expensive.

But 90mm? So they are no way in scale/meant to interact with the TF? I thought maybe we were gonna get something about the size of MP Spike who could ride around in them Not complaining though
Saber is pretty.

The shins, feet, forearms and hands in particular just don't look good.

Though, they could've done better. They're not bad, they just could be better. Still, nothing major to complain about.
Totally getting Prime and Saber. Wonder what Fort Max's Race Queen will look like.
And are the Kiss Player haters rejoicing yet?

Leave it to TakaraTomy to have Transformers and Microman crossbreed again Would those figures be in scale with 1:32 though?

They'd have to be like the size of MP Spike to fit inside the toys' Vehicle modes.

And yes - Atop of a few Transformers that I'd like to see be placed in the Encore line... I would love to see the Diaclone line get some love, even if they become Toy Hobby or e-HOBBY exclusives. My collection needs some of that kind of lovin'.
But with this... Lets just say that I am glad I did not preorder. Just not feeling anything when it comes to the final product.

True dat. Although he could use a bit more white on the chest, maybe.

Thanks for the info!
My Japanese is pretty rudimentary especially when it comes to Kanji, so I could only make out the characters Taka(something) Mi(something).
I think she actually looks prettier than the figure. Or maybe it's just the lack of ball joints?

I think it's just the manufacturers managed to hide the articulation points better on humans, and to be fair, they are a much larger scale.
