Thought I'd start a new thread since this is a significant release. Dirge has always been my least favorite Seeker but this just looks to cool. I hope they make Thrust which is my favorite conehead and Ramjet too. Interestingly this is number three in the line so I'm guessing number two will be a mini Megatron. It's not a official Takara/Hasbro release but it sure is close enough. www.igeartoys.com/?page_id=604

i think this series will do well, all PP-01s from local stores have already been snapped up! The PP-03 really help me decide to start collecting this series. to top it up, i think we can expect a predaking release down the line!

Could use a black nose cone (in jet mode), but otherwise it looks great!

Thrust will probably be announced in the next couple weeks. If you look at the Dirge pic, you will see 2 blacked out figures. They are without a doubt Ramjet & Thrust. I think they are staggering them for whatever reason.
I am glad to finally get a chance to get these guys. I think Takara/Hasbro will probably never get around to releasing these guys.

They are supposed to be the same size as the current seekers. They made the MP OP smaller so it would be in scale with the seekers and MP Grimlock (alleast in robot mode). There are some pics of the mini MP Prime with these guys out there and they are the same size.

High Prices for a non-license toys. There OPTIMUS PRIME is more expensive than the Original Hasbro version.

It's unlicense but isn't consider a knockoff. These are higher quality reproductions and probably smaller production run since it'll probably cost them a lot more to get these made. But if it is the same size as the current MP seekers, that means they just break down the current seeker molds and recast a lot of the parts. Very few part on these will be scratch build. The mini prime was probably harder because they probably have to scratch build all the parts in smaller scale. Unofficial unlicense products in the long run are more collectible as they have smaller than usual production run, and the high price means that only people that are truely Transformers fanatics will know about them and look to buy them. In collecting Transformmers all these years, I rarely buy repaint or have Transformers that share the same mold. So I'll past since I already have MP Starscream.

@ superfarterv : What about official 3D data from Takara ?... It's a better way to resize a figure than recasting...
