Mecha Workshop's ARMARAUDERS by Don Figueroa

Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

Freaking Awesome...
Just three things...

1. Will these be manufactured here in the U.S.?
2. Will there be a website for a new fandom to congregate?
3. Will the toys be available through popular etailers like BBTS?

No amount of modding will bake a decent Warpath out of a centaur.

They look similar in style due to Don having been working on these for almost two years, basically the TF stuff he's done is just prototype stuff for this.


Nooooo, I should have made my post a little clearer!

I only drew an obvious comparison to Generations Warpath and the that rendering of Don's, one might say he actually borrowed from Hasbro on that one? :-$

But yeah, you can clearly see Don's way of thinking with those Mech's and his TF work.
If i could lay my hands on a pic of Don's transformers covers, especially the ones of Hotrod I'd post it for a side by side viewing? :-B

Ooh, try this one!? :-?

Hasbro constantly borrows alt-mode designs and concepts, and bot-mode design elements so why shouldn't Don?
And ther eare just so many ways one can designs an H-tank, which wasn't invented by Hasbro.

These won't really mix well with transformers, as they are clearly of an exceedingly higher quality, but you could easily just say they're Skywatch suits or something.

These look very promising. I don't normally collect anything outside of TF, but I may have to pull the trigger on these. Especially since I can get in on the ground floor.

Not every Real Robot's a Gundam, a Valkyrie or an Arm Slave. :???:

Maybe not but there is no mistaking the influence of the Macross Alpha and Beta Fighters styling or that of the Armored Cyclone design.
I'm happy to see that someone else noticed the similarities because they practically jumped out at me as soon as I started scrolling through the pictures.

Well, yeah... but that's a duh. You're already famous, like Enrico Galli and Thomas Mauer. Folks here "should" recognize you in the same way they recognize Don's name.

Now I just need to figure out two things: how much these figures will cost, and where they will be available (online shops only? Or would it be possible to see something like this in a Wal-Mart?XD ). I hope these won't cost me an arm and a leg, because I want this SO badly now!

Seeing as how these look pretty high quality and are apparently aimed at collectors, I'm guessing they will be quite expensive. I'm also guessing you will only be able to find them online and possibly at comic book/hobby shops if your local one does that kind of thing. They will probably come in alternate scales as well, I cannot imagine them all being so enormous.
