What is it with iGear's minibot line and lack of blue eyes? It's not like that'll save them from Hasbro if it comes to that. It's just stupid.
But that's a minor point. Pretty sure I preordred these a dog's age ago. Wasn't going to, but they look awesome, so I broke.

I'm looking at these and I am seeing nothing about them that Hasbro couldn't have done. They aren't like most third party products that are a bit over complicated to have worked as an official product. These on the other hand could have easily been produced in the CHUG line.

But they haven't been done. And may never be done. Plus, these are at the lower end of the 3rd party price pool.

Believe me, my comment was intended to be a compliment to the people who made these products. It is also condemnation on Hasbro for not doing them.

The problem is that these would take the spotlight off Bumblebee. That's a no-no.

I am happily awaiting both. I love Cosmos's bubble head.

Whoah, wait a second....why are the upper arms now silver? That bites, I want it to be green.
I think I even like the previous arm sculpture better, I don't think articulation would have been that awful.

Happy with Brawn, Cosmos? Not so much. But he still looks better than the Hasbro legends-class alternative. Wonder what September means in iGear world. I'm gonna stick my neck on the line and say mid-October.
